2015 Summer photography Scavenger Hunt

Last year I learned about Rinda's Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt via Elizabeth's blog. 
Warning- a very photo heavy post!
This year I kept checking and this years list appeared just before we went off to France and although I did take quite a few of my photographs they have since been replaced by more appropriate ones! I didn't really look at the fact that I could have posted some of these earlier(which would have saved me trawling through loads to find the ones I wanted - next year I may get it right!!)

So without further ado….and with Thanks to Rinda for setting this fabulous list here are my photos for

http://gallorganico.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/last-day-of-summer-final-photo.html

First the list

1 I guessed no one would be buying me a bouquet so I chose this one from a supermarket! 

2 I thought I had found a really good example until I saw the collection when we went to Chateau d'Aznay

              3 The dog stopped in his tracks when he saw me!!

4 top - Hubby's Mah-Jong group 

bottom - these cafe owners have a games cafe and they were playing Small Worlds…far more exciting!!!

 5 Couldn't decide between the columns in Lafayette or the ones at La Chapelle - both in Paris

 6 The bridge at Salford Quays

7 The only turtle I could find!!

 8 The guy in the games cafe said he was going onto Facebook so I asked for a photo because before that this pic of my grandson was the best I could do, and he was playing games connected to a friend

 9 Walking by the canal one day couldn't believe my eyes - a lovely homeless guy, who we spoke to on another occasion had found an ideal spot!

10 What wonderful place to learn!

 11 We had intended walking up to the mast but left it too late in the day - shot this from the petrol station!

 12 Although the Midland Hotel Morecambe has lovely Art Deco style loos I couldn't believe my luck to find this sparkly one at a Chinese restaurant in Poitiers

 13 This carousel continued the Jules Verne theme that we had seen on the canal in Troyes, France

 14 I had so many traffic signals photos but this temporary signal outside our Edinburgh hotel wins!

15 You didn't really think they were on one pole did you? The best I could do!!

 16 These views both have our caravan site on them - one is the view just up the road when we first catch a glimpse when we arrive and the other is from a hill near the crag that we see from our decking

17 On a great day out visiting Vide Greniers(table top sales)while staying with my SIL and hubby, these two ladies were entertaining the crowds

 18 The skip carrier was heading up the route that the Cycling Tour of Britain was taking! I missed the farmer's heaviest load the trip before this one!

 19 The queues to get into Edinburgh castle were huge

 20 The Loire at Orleans

21 Setting the timer on my camera was the most difficult challenge of all!!

Alternative A because I know my flags are a big cheat!!This is a lovely square in Troyes on our first day and my first photo for the Summer Scavenger Hunt

I have enjoyed this so much - even though I think I tested hubby's patience at times!!

Thanks for looking, Chrisx

ps I am getting back to some crafting now!
