May Scavenger Hunt

The once a month Scavenger Hunt - lots of fun.

Aqua

The water in the river was an amazing color


Even through the trees it was aqua





4


Four bears, sitting at the table - waiting to get into trouble  some lunch

Something Patriotic

I didn't have anything patriotic - so thought you'd love to see another picture of Mt. Baker

Door

The door to my china cabinet is open, so you can see all the pine cone dishes

Skyline

Anything that sits still for a few moments in Washington, sprouts


Fence posts with grass and a small shrub growing out of the top




A map

A map  I made of Bellingham Bay - top right, and the San Juan Islands - middle.  This is for a quilt about moving to Washington.

Lines

Four ducks in a line


Sometimes not a straight line


Sometimes muddled up


Hey you guys - get back in line!!


Ok - that's better


Washing

This crow kept coming to the birdbath to wash his food


Or maybe it was too tough and he wanted to dunk

A flag

The teeny tiny Alaska flag flying from the mast of the Alaska State Ferry, leaving Bellingham, WA.  There is also an Alaska flag painted on the funnel - I need to get a better photo of it.  Fireweed and Mullein in the foreground

My grandma used to call Iris, flags, not sure why, but she did.



Broken

My clock is broken - I put in new batteries and it still won't keep time.

Keys

Key Lime Pie

Construction

I was making cranberry/orange scones


The closest I could come to construction

A great collection of photos. That key lime pie looks so good, it's one of my favourite desserts! I love the photo of the mountain too - I also struggled with patriotic.

The key lime pie looks delicious. Some Irises are called flag Iris, yours are beautiful colours.

How cute are those teddys?

Fundy Blue said...

Hi Joanne! Great photos! In Nova Scotia we call the wild purple-blue irises blue flag. Very clever to use key limes for keys, and your quilt was awesome!

The photos of the ducks made me smile and I like how you tackled some of the clues, really clever :-)
