July Photo Scavenger Hunt

This is my first attempt to join many others in this monthly event, hosted by Kathy from Postcards from P.P.   I think I saw it first on Anne's blog and thought that it looked like fun.

So with a bit of extra time this month, I decided to have a go.  This is my take on the following:

 July's Scavenger List:
  • a flag
  • a kite
  • celebration
  • fields
  • flip flops
  • ice cream
  • red, white and blue
  • seashells
  • something that makes you happy (not a person or an animal!)
  • stars
  • strawberries
  • stripes
with the exception of a kite!  I couldn't find one anywhere.

This was our wedding reception 1992 - the bridal table just waiting for the wedding party to arrive!
football fields
 flip flops (sons' thongs)
 ice cream
red white blue

 
 Seashells
These are lovely old shells, collected and put into a terrarium by my mother, many years ago

Something that makes me happy
- at the moment it's this quilt bought off ebay. Perfect colour match for rest of bedroom.
  
Stars
Electric lights strung along our outdoor entertainment area



Home grown strawberries
Our old garden seat

That was fun - easy in some ways, but a bit of a challenge for a basic photographer like me.  Have a look at the site, there are lots who participate and it's always interesting to see different approaches to the topic.

cheers for now - Wendy

Great photos Wendy. I'm having trouble with the kite too. It's just not kite flying weather for us is it?
