May Photo Scavenger Hunt
I found some of these quite difficult, but here are my offerings for May:
A butterfly
A bicycle
This is from an exhibition by Johnny White and is called 'Lifecycle of a mosquito'. If you press the lever on the floor, the mosquito actually pedals the bike.
A red door
A cartoon character
A Smurf
An emergency vehicle
I took this photo last year, but I couldn't resist using it because this Police car looks so cute having to carry that great big sign on top!
Think vintage
This teddy belonged to my eldest brother so must be getting on for 60 years old and the patchwork is one I started about 30 years ago but haven't finished (yet).
Something blue
A street light
Texture
A bird's nest that had blown out of the trees
A sign of the Zodiac
A sign of Taurus the bull!
An interesting local building
I live in an area called the Isle of Axholme which in the early 17th Century was drained by Cornelius Vermuyden. There are several buildings of Dutch influence and this house was built in 1689.

Wonderful photos! Don't know that I'm actually gong to make it this time, so you may have just inspired me to push forward!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I like the mosquito on the bicycle and the texture of the nest; I had to improvise on the butterfly one as I haven't seen any live ones in the garden since April. We used to live in Lincolnshire further south in Spalding so the name of Vermuyden and the dutch influence buildings are very familar to me. I just have to get two more photos today hopefully:)
ReplyDeletethose are really good LBM - I would love to see the mosquito pedalling away - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCoo'ee!! Thank you for popping by the ol' blog ;0)
ReplyDeleteFabulous finds, love the mosquito...think I was bitten by a b*gger that big last year!
ADORE Octavia! x:)
Arghh...parnsips disguised as chips...see they are the evil and devious geniuses of the root vegetables! I'm glad you have overcome the parsnip horror...I'm not that brave and will continue to live in mortal fear of them ;D

all of your pictures are great - I think I like Blue the best!
ReplyDeleteAren't people coming up with beauts for the bike photo? I think you win though - that mosquito is ace!
ReplyDeleteI love the Dutch gables too. I have such a soft spot for them and it's not something you really find in my part of the country.
these are all such wonderful photos!! i hope there weren't any baby birds inside the nest when it blew away!!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed your photos, especially the pedalling mosquito and the old police car. That nest looks like a very cosy home!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to post my efforts today and then have a nosey at everyone's posts!
great collection of photos,

They are all lovely but I like the Smurf and the blue washing in particular.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to join this challenge for June's theme, but was just cruising around looking at the May offerings! What a fun project! I am particularly enamored by your "texture" photo! That is sooooo cool! And so full of texture. My first love in life is photography, but recently began a blog about my 2011 resolution to learn how to crochet. I'm so happy to have found this little monthly challenge...it will be fun! Have a great weekend! Annette
ReplyDeleteTHese are all so great (and Octavia is lovely.) I love the bike with mosquito, and the very old teddy, and the police car, and the bull sign, and... everything!
ReplyDeleteA super collection of photos for the May Hunt. It's so interesting seeing everyone's choices and offers a chance to see various parts of the world in the process. I got a kick out of your little police car with the big sign on top, and the gorgeous textured nest! Smurf looks like he's taking centre stage and the blue line of washing is so lovely and billowy :) Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment on my site as well :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I love the bike. I was a bit late with my list, must do better this month. ~c~
ReplyDeleteI love the bicycle and the texture of that bird's nest! Great photos :)
