Scavenger Hunt Sunday


Double Rainbow, all the way, what does it mean!!!!!

Well it is what we saw when we walked through this yellow field on our 19th Wedding Anniversary.
I love the sight of yellow fields, they glisten in the sun
with huge round sculptures scattered around.

Summer is yawning
Autumn is dawning

with colours turning to amber, bronze and rich ruby red
Halloween and Thanksgiving festivities pop into my head!


Thoughts transferring from pillar to post,
Connecting memories
sparking ideas


I love the glass transmitters
breathing life
Golden field landscapes & power lines
Good God Woman your thinking of Frankenstein!
"Give my creation life"


what was that you said......
stop the press.......

News just in stupid woman giving birth to Frankenstein creation, no....

.... golden child,
no.... fields find golden freakish baby.....
no, No, NO.......

the woman shown with the baby is not stupid
It does however let me show you this intelligent baby, already reading a newspaper!

This one of Dexter however is one of my favourite shots of him, I love him, and I love this he is just so so pretty in it but it was taken last month during the Edinburgh Festival.....


.....as quickly as newspapers are printed it becomes yesterday's news and part of history so what about tomorrow, what will it bring ....

A newborn baby, growing up, making their own history, that is a great piece of news surly. Little did I know that I was going to get to literally stop the press to add a beautiful newborn to pose for me together with his Mother & Brother.......



If you want to see the newborn himself, then look at my blog post of yesterday Newborn Baby!
I was so happy they let me take their photos, Mum looked so beautiful and natural and Tom, well he loved to pose for me and I think I got some sweet shots of him and his new brother.

That was such an unexpected turn to my Scavenger Hunt as my new "old faithful" was what I originally had for pose, the 1982 Ghostbusters boy......

..... (well he doesn't have a choice for the next 365 days!)
standing on top of Homer's Duff beer!
How's that for a pose?
Finding this beer did make me and Anders smile as we didn't think this beer existed, but it does.

My i-phone is the inspiration behind ......

.... my getting back into photography, a hobby along with this blog, which too, is a hobby.
My i-phone (which Anders urged me to get back in April) rekindled my love of taking photographs, and this started my dipping my toe into blogging which has snowballed into a full blown outlet for my thoughts and musings. The two of these have resulted in me getting an Olympus Pen and who knows what will happen going forward as these have opened up to a side of me that I had not explored before so this is the start of a relationship and a hobby!

None of these however are a patch on my number one hobby, spending time with the two most important handsome men in my life: -





I am glad that we all get to share this, my hobby which seems to tell...

I do hope so .......

    Thank you so much everyone for leaving a comment, I really enjoy doing this sunday scavenger hunt, and each week I read the words for the next and think "what on earth am I going to do", but somehow I manage and it is always nice to hear it has made someone smile too.
