October Photo Scavenger Hunt

This month's photo scavenger hunt organised by Kathy, go take a peek at everyone's list and get the list for November

a black cat.........................

my halloween outfit, the stormtrooper is Mr N


candlelit..................




cruchy leaves................

On a walk in our local park

fog/mist...............

Not taken this month as i've not stumbled upon any mist or fog, but this was taken at the top of Snowdon on our last trip there the white background was pretty much alll we could see due to the fog (wasn't a great view from the top that day! But great fun)


golden..................

Struggled with this one, but thought these leaves were a bit more interesting than my gold candle and they did look gold glistening in the sun


graffiti..................

Not really very pleased with this photo.  I know some graffiti can be art and is beautiful, but this graffiti is the only sort I found and it just looks like mindless vandalism to me.....might be contravertial, just my opinion.

heritage............


A monument in our local park.  This is what I love about doing the scavenger hunt, I've walked past this so many times and never really noticed it, but the hunt makes you open your eyes and appreciate things around you.

pumpkin.........................

With our trophy for the best pumpkin!



river............

the River Mersey, at New Brighton

something eerie..............

not taken as an eerie photo, but came out a bit starnge because of the movement and was as close to eerie as I could get

sunset.....................


A bit of a cheat as it wasn't taken this month, but I've had it set as the background on my computer this month if that counts!! Taken on a boat trip last year in Santorini

witch's hat/broomstick...............

 
Hanging on the door, covered in a 'cobweb' at our family halloween gathering

  3. Hi thanks for popping over to my blog :) I really love your eerie photo, I could look at it for ages! I agree with you on the graffiti, I have seen some I do consider art i will admit, but yes, vandalism more often.

  4. Definitely eerie - one of those shots that you could never plan
    I agree about the way the challenge makes you notice things around you more. It has also made me very happy stopping to take pictures of the most random things - I'm sure I must get some odd looks when lining up a shot of a phone box or a road sign!

  6. Wow! that pumpking head reminds me SO MUCH of jack, the pumpkin-head from the film 'return to oz' did you ever see it? Amazing, the medal is well deserved!
