SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY and THROUGH MY LENS

One day last week a friend Linda and I met up in Belfast to see a Eddie the Eagle film and I was telling her I had no words for the next Scavenger Hunt Sunday and could she give me 5 random words so that I could enter this week.  As it turned out when I returned home, Ashley had put the meme on and she said we could use whatever 5 photos we wanted for next week.  So I am sticking with Linda’s five words which she gave me when we were travelling home on the train.  Bridge, Height, Excitement, Together and Teapot.  The first 2 are taken from the moving train.

The Albert Bridge is a BRIDGE in Belfast, Northern Ireland and was built in 1890.  Its three flat arches span the River Lagan and it is one of eight bridges in the city.

The cranes are situated in the shipyard of Harland & Wolff and were constructed by the German engineering firm Krupp, with Goliath being completed in 1969 and Samson, in 1974. Goliath stands 96 metres (315 ft) tall, while Samson's HEIGHT is taller at 106 metres (348 ft). Goliath, the smaller of the two sits slightly further inland closer to Belfast City. At the time Harland & Wolff was one of the largest shipbuilders in the world. The announcement that they were to be built was an important event at the time.

Before meeting Linda that day and when I was standing waiting for the ‘green man’ permission to cross the road, I took these photographs of the side of the Belfast City Hall.  As they fit one of the word prompts I thought I would show you them.  The HEIGHT of the roof is 174 feet (53m).

When Linda and I got off the train in Bangor we headed to a shop where in the morning Linda had seen a jacket that she liked and hoped it had not been sold.  I think you can see the EXCITEMENT on her face as she discovered it was still there and of course she bought it.

Next morning at breakfast time, it was my turn for great EXCITEMENT when I saw a male Robin feeding a female Robin.  This is the first time I had seen this and of course my camera was upstairs!!!  I dashed upstairs and when I returned to the window, they were still there but now the male was watching the female Robin having a bath. I decided to video it  (through window) and afterwards the male continued to feed the female however this was just out of view of my camera! 

If the video does not appear, CLICK HERE.

Did you see the food in the male Robin's bill just waiting for his bride to finish bathing!  Who said romance is dead!

Linda gave me the word Teapot because she told me her grandson (12 yrs old) was asked to do a photographic project to find 3 compound words, each word having 2 small words that together makes that compound word.  I thought this was a wonderful idea and could make a good meme however I just photographed the word TEAPOT for you. He would have had a shot for tea, pot and teapot.

I have had this TEAPOT for many years and it sits on my plate rack in the hall.  I have never used it, in fact I don’t drink tea anyway.  It was a present from my girls when they were much younger.
