May Scavenger Hunt

We've not been out and about so much this month because of the work being done inside and outside the house plus bad backs for both me and G so photo opportunites have been a bit limited and I actually only finished the last couple of items this morning!

So here we go...
A butterfly- taken on a family walk back at the beginning of the month.


A bicycle- snapped in HomeBase whilst looking for paint tester pots.




An emergency vehicle- a fire engine from the children's carousel in town.




A red door- Salisbury train station.




Texture- tree trunk on a different family walk this month.




Something blue- a rubbish bin in a children's playground.




A black and white portrait- this piece of graffiti has been added to the wall just outside the church where I go and see my dad each week. I think it's Andy Warhol?





Sign of the zodiac- Leo the Lion!




A cartoon character- T modelling his Family Guy t-shirt.




A street light- snapped from inside the train when we stopped at Dean train station yesterday. It's actually in someone's garden, but it's the closest thing I could find.




An interesting local building- just down the road and round the corner this old Public Bath buliding is looking a lot less attractive than it must have once looked what with all the metal grills over it and the big advice centre notice. But at least it's being used.




Think vintage- a favourite brooch.




Looking forward to seeing what everyone else have come up with this month too.

  4. You're one of the few people so far to find a real butterfly ... well done!!! I'm a Leo, so I love your lion!
    Hope the backs are on the mend. We've both had bad backs in the past ... there's really nothing worse!
