SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY

I have to say I struggled at finding the photographs for this week’s prompts so hope you enjoy them.  I am linking this post with SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.


1. An Autumn Drink


There is a fairly recent café opened in my town of Bangor, Northern Ireland and I decided to have a cappuccino but thinking of needing a photograph for this week’s meme asked if the waiter had anything Autumnal I could photograph.  The only thing we came up with was this delicious cake with apples in it.  The café is appropriately named 'Guillemot' after the Black Guillemots that nest every summer on the pier opposite the café.



2. Wooden

This week I visited the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and these two wooden barrels were found in the Hugh Mc Clusker's Pub.


The wheelbarrow I came across at the Drumnahunshin Farm House.



3. Seasonal

Also while I was visiting the Museum, there were many trees turning gorgeous seasonal colours and plenty of fallen leaves carpeting the ground.

There were several different Fungi species. This one is Amanita muscaria.



4. My Outfit Today

Well the above photograph is of me on Tuesday playing badminton and below is a shot taken at a group called 'Acting Up'.  We have performed some short sketches for the Chest, Heart and Stroke, Bangor group.




5. My View

Now as some of you know I live in Northern Ireland where it rains a lot so that I thought it appropriate to show you the view I have from a room off the kitchen but overlooking the back garden where I view the birds at my feeders.  I am photographing through the window and it is raining.
Below is a photograph of a male Bullfinch. (still raining!)  


I hope you enjoyed my selection of photographs to illustrate the word prompts.

Many thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comments.

  4. Oh I love the idea of a bird name for a coffee shop. The autumn drinks and apple cake looks scrumptious. The wooden barrels are awesome but the wooden barrow takes the cake (doesn't this meme make us think, hey?) I LOVE your look in your tennis outfit. You are an amazingly versatile lady: birding, photographing, acting [up] and sporty. Brilliant post. Thanks for sharing. Jo

  14. I like that wooden wheelbarrow. Your red autumn leaves are gorgeous. That is the kind of color the Northeast U.S. states get and I miss it very much. I like the perspective of your mushroom. If you got rid of the top it looks like a jellyfish -but maybe that's just me :). I was not sure if it was badminton or squash you were playing and you have a wonderful view out your kitchen window.
