Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt – June

A favourite piece of jewellery: I probably haven’t worn this necklace and earrings for 30 years or more, but loved them when I was younger – they are pictured against a background of a plain pair of black trousers as I couldn’t find velvet…

Having enjoyed the Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt with Eileen at A Bracelet of Days, I have signed up for the Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt hosted by Mary-Lou at Patio Postcards – details here. The first monthly link-up is here.

This time there is an added challenge as during the coronavirus lockdown I have hardly strayed from the house and garden.

Something in the shape of a triangle: I didn’t quite find an exact triangle but I would recommend this wonderful mail-order cheese we had sent down from Wensleydale (my husband is a Yorkshireman)…

A leaf longer than your hand: We are still trying to eradicate this Japanese anemone from what is now a herb garden but it keeps coming back…

A rubber band/elastic in use: A bunch of basil ready to go into spaghetti Bolognese…

Something with wheels: This tiny shopping trolley was once full of candy Easter eggs but now has its uses on my desk, usually holding my mobile phone…

Something inherited: My mother died when I was 10 and I have very few items to remember her by – this oriental face-powder pot is one of them, set against a blue bath towel

Something naturally round: During the lockdown I have grown potatoes in tubs for the first time – this is the tiniest one I harvested of the early variety ‘Swift’, just over 1cm across, in the middle of one of our everyday dinner plates – I should have added something to show its size!

Something that can go in the water: Travel-size bath foams on a chocolate brown face cloth, or as we call it, a flannel

A stone/rock/pebble with some colour in it: I have a jar of large rocks and pebbles and I used to know exactly where I picked up every one. I should have written it down, as now I have forgotten!

Thanks to the organiser for a wonderful list of subjects – I look forward to seeing what other people have photographed. Every interpretation is different.
