OCTOBER SCAVENGER HUNT

OK, I wasn't going to do this month's Scavenger Hunt.
Not inspired. Especially as there was so much there that was difficult for an Aussie who isn't into Halloween.

Then this morning I saw some of the ones already up and was inspired to give it a go.
As usual I trawled through my photos to see what I already had to fit the bill. That's the fun and challenge for me.
I only had a couple to take specially.
So here goes

October Scavenger Hunt


1. crackly leaves



Well I don't know if they are crackly- probably not ! Just dead, limp and decaying.


2.  sunset


A recent, very spectacular one from my backyard.


3. a river
 

The Brisbane River at night


4. golden


Golden wattle fits the bill.


5. something eerie

The bush after a bushfire. Very quiet without all the birds too.

6. graffiti / street art


Sound barriers along Queensland highways.


7. mist



Taken while on holidays in beautiful Canada - Maligne Lake.

8. a black cat


Julie, belonging to my SIL.
A feral cat, taken in as a wild, spitting orphan kitten and sort of tamed.


9. candle lit


and a delightful dessert in Paris.
Need I say more?
I want to go back !!


10. heritage


Captain Cook's cottage.
 Removed from the UK and re-assembled brick by brick in Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne. A tribute to a fantastic navigator and the man who is responsible for the decision to make a penal settlement in Australia and therefore our British roots


11. pumpkin


Just about my favourite vegetable. Yummmm !


12. a witch's hat

The only one I could find in our photos.
Taken at the time of the floods in January when there were roads closed for the floods.


That's it for October.
 I'm glad I had a go 'cos I enjoyed finding something to fit each category in the albums in my collection.
The only new photo was the pumpkin !!!

Cheers.

  5. I love your witch's hat, great use of photographic license! I think my favorite of the set has to be the street art, very cool!

  6. A great load of photos. The lake was stunning and the burnt out bush very creepy. I laughed at the witch's hat.
