June Scavenger Hunt



We have all month to  gather photos for this scavenger hunt - the end of the month is near - let's see how far I got.

PURPLE


Foxglove - one of my favorite wildflowers


60


At least 60 Allium in this field

LITTLE


Little Bee in a big flower

EYES


He was watching us for a long time before I discovered him, I was taking photos of other horses in the field and all he time he was standing under a tree watching me.


Flicker eye


Cat eyes - our  neighbor's cat likes to sit in their flower pots.

ANIMAL






ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL



I love windows on old buildings


And newly refurbished buildings


And old sheds

RING



Napkins rings - shall we have fish for dinner?

Flower Pot napkin ring - just the thing for summer luncheon

An altar made by cousins and a friend when we all went camping together in Central Oregon.

LIGHT


Sunlight - on a very foggy day - this is not a B&W photo - it was just very foggy and gray that day.


The tree captured the sun!




Sunset over Bellingham from the top of Alabama Hill



Fairy light in the woods - this is one of my all time favorite photos


Sunlight in the trees at Lake Paden

ROOFTOPS


Rooftops behind a Heron - in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham

ICE CREAM


Ben - eating a big ice cream cone at the fair 


Jahn-Zyel with an ice cream  bar at the fair (these were taken a few years ago - but I couldn't resist showing the two cute boys)


Ice cream cone sign in Birch Bay - and you think you can resist?  Just try.  

TOMBSTONE




I didn't get a picture of a tombstone - but thought I'd show you my pretty pansy painted metal flower pots

ART


Pressing pansies for decoupage - note cards, candles, napkin rings, birdhouses for centerpieces

Hi there. What a wonderful blog you have. Your photos are so interesting and fun. Won't even try to pick a favorite.
I do understand the gray day foggy one living just north of you. Some times it seems to be black and white all day long.

Lizzy said...

Karen @ Beatrice Euphemie said...

Wow! Love all of these! Cutest little grandsons you have there! And the fairy light in the trees - just awesome! Love your flowerpot napkin rings - and the sea shell ones, too. Great series! xoxo

What a beautiful allium field, I've never seen so many together. I also quite like the fairy ligts on the trees in that wood.
