PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT - September 2015

This is the first time of joining this meme and the first of the 12 words was WOVEN.  This tapestry below was filmed and explained on video by one of the guides at the National Trust Property of Mount Stewart House near Newtownards, County down, Northern Ireland. (see below)


1. Woven 


CLICK HERE is the video does not appear below.




2. Repeating

Above is the main entrance hall of Mount Stewart House with many repeating patterns in it and below are beach huts that are all designed the same.


3. Greedy 

These are Puffins I photographed on Great Saltee Island, Ireland.  Although they have all these fish in their beak, I am hoping it is to feed their young chicks and that they will not be greedy and eat it all themselves!



4. Flowers   
These wildflowers above are at at Bangor Walled Garden and
below flowers blooming in Ward Park, 2 mintues walk from my home.




5. Curly

I found Paddington Bear resting on these stairs in a charity shop.  
He told me he was was spending his holidays in my home town of Bangor.

Below, is a curly headed man I photographed at the recent car rally I attended
when he was deep in thought and not looking at me!




 6. Adventures
(Click links to see complete blogs)

OK, we have 2 adventure here (really my own life is an adventure)
The one above is when I did a Helmet dive off Green Island, Queensland, Australia and below is of my son in law Jon, my grandson Daniel and myself when we took a helicopter flight over the Great Barrier Reef.




7. Line

Above are a line of new beach huts on the Isle of Wight and below is a line of tractors that I photographed at the car rally I attended recently.




8. Mesmerising

This is Annika, my youngest grand daughter above when she was 1 year old. She found all my old costumne jewellery mesmeriising.

Below, here she again, now aged 5 with two friends and they found these Goldfish mesmerising.  They are feeding them bread.



9. Triangle
Above is my Chritmas tree which looks like a triangle in shape as does this candle below that I photographed in a charity shop recently. 




10. Dreamy 
This is my oldest grand daughter Anna, a very pretty young girl and 
below is a dreamy scene one misty morning by a lake.




11. Day 
Now this was an exciting day out for me when I was driven in this beautiful MG  recently to the car rally and then driven home in this other MG below.  




12. Whatever you want

I thought I would end with something peaceful. 
 I leave you with a photograph taken at the lake at
 Mount Stewart Gardens, near Newtownards, Northern Ireland.

I hope you enjoyed the photographs I selected for the word prompts.

You are an excellent photographer and your grandchildren are beautiful. I'm sure you enjoy being a grandma as do I. I think one of my favorite photos you shared is the puffin.
