Scavenger Photo Hunt April 2017

I've been terribly slow getting back into taking photos so it's lovely to join back in with Hawthorn's Scavenger Photo Hunt (albeit a few days late).

1. New

Starting work on our new CD - so excited to be playing with these guys.

2. Rust


My rusty old gate is certainly looking better with the new clematis I planted last year.

3. Box


My box for the last couple of days  - singing behind that screen, tucked in-between all the drums and listening to Steve playing guitar in the other room through the headphones


4. Ingredients

The perfect ingredients for an afternoon off


5. Begins with ... D

We had a couple of very misty nights a while back
and I was struck by the trees through the window of our front door.

6. Mechanical


The tuning heads on my guitar have been driving me crazy for the past two days
Off to the doctor with them tomorrow ... that's what passes for mechanics in my world at the minute.



7. Something seasonal

Oh love of my life - bluebells.  At the wood at Narrowwater Castle outside Warrenpoint



8. Recently finished


Terrible picture, but I have recently finished this shawl!! 

9. Begins with ... R


I've had this RED tulip in a vase on the windowsill for over a week and it's getting more translucent with each day - fabulous colour. 

10. My own choice

Bundoran, Co. Donegal

So, that's it for this month... Check out Hawthorn's list for May - it's up already- and join in next month if you have time.

  5. What a joy to read! So glad you found the time to take part. I totally agree with Susan as to which are my favourites. As for the beach at Bundoran, well a friend was looking to buy a delapidated property near Bundoran last year; your photo of the beach is lovely. I gather it is a good spot for surfing, if you like surfing!

    1. It's a brilliant surfing place ... Bundoran was absolutely packed that day, which is unusual but lovely to see.

    1. That shawl was a one ball knit which was even better - but it took ages to block out. I'll have to learn how to photograph them better :)

  7. What a lovely selection of photographs. The colours in the shawl are beautiful.the hammock looks very inviting. We have one tucked away in the cupboard, it's not often in the garden due to an abundance of doves and pigeons!
