Oh dear, I missed the official date to share the first findings for our Summer Scavenger Hunt - are you joining in too? It certainly makes you keep your eyes open when you go out!
Number one, a plant with thorns
Apparently this is a Black Lotus Tree - look at the size of those thorns!
Number five - a bridge
This was taken on the day we visited Capel Manor, nothing fancy but an interesting view through to a bench behind that archway
Number six - A school
Not just any old school, This is the school that I went to between the ages of five and eleven. Now a private house but when I see it I always remember it as a school.
This was not difficult to find, our town has a major issue with potholes this year and this is one on the exit road from our local supermarket car park that I frequently have to avoid.
Number ten - A white flower
I was spoiled for choice on this prompt when we went to Capel Manor but I liked the way this was growing up, over and through the old wall.
So that is the beginning of the hunt for me. I think I have ticked off a few more on my recent holiday but need to have a proper look through before I share them.
Deb thanks for joining in on the 2023 SPSH. Great finds! OM goodness those thorns are huge, I would hate to back into those branches. Your school (now home) is a beautiful building, who wouldn't want to go to school there.
ReplyDeleteFun challenge! That spiky plant looks horrendous! Where did you take the pic?
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! Your pictures are beautiful. I would enlarge several of them (the bridge, the school and white flower), frame them and hang them in my home. I've done that with my own photos--from England and France!
ReplyDeleteWow a beautiful building for a school! I would enjoy (even more!) going off to school there! Love that bridge, too and the view beyond. But I was imagining you stopping the car as you exited the parking lot (car park) to hop out and get a quick photo of a pot hole!! Nicely done:)
ReplyDeleteNice to know I am in good company having missed the first check in. I have been collecting photos but none of them are very special. Your school and bridge photos are especially lovely. Cannot imagine having attended school is such a quaint building. I took a picture of the first elementary school where I worked but it is abandoned now and looks so sad. We have a lot of potholes, too. And a huge sink hole came up last week out of the clear blue. Would like to get over there to take a photo of it before they get it filled in.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I'm struggling to find a pant or tree with thorns. I need a trip out to Ness Gardens I think. They have a whole host of plants to look at.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds - your old school must be fantastic as a private home! Do you think the old kitchen area will still smell of cabbage?!
