1 - M is for mountain
I had hoped for a closeup of our snow capped mountain with a blue sky background, but for much of the month, the mountain was hidden behind cloud. Instead I spotted this mountain scene with a sea of evergreen in the foreground.
2 - 9 a.m.
I thought these birds looked to be pointing at the appropriate position to indicate 9 o'clock.
3 - Berries
4 - Lit up
Here's a cheerful robin with its twinkling eye lit up for Spring!
5 - Grate
An old grate that my mother bought for us years ago when we had a wood burning fireplace. Now that we have a gas fireplace, I keep odd collections of rocks and wood in it.
6 - Working
Someone is cutting branches! It looks like he's spotted me and my camera...
7 - Brickwork
My brickwork search led me from my fireplace wall to various designs spotted on my travels ~ I've mortared a few photos together ~
8 - Cutlery
A friend created an old silver cutlery windchime for me, so I hung it off the clothesline for a photo ~
9 - Flowers
Near my front door, I have placed a Spring Basket ~
and just to prove that all of Canada isn't covered in snow, here's a photo I took when on a recent trip to Victoria ~ not only spring flowers, but palm trees... that's the west coast for you :)
1- Crisp
Yay, an excuse to crisp up some bacon ~ a tasty lunch of a bacon, lettuce and tomato cheese bun sandwich...
11 - ticket
A lottery ticket, a ticket to a premiere, and a parking receipt so I don't get a ticket ;)
12 - Coloured door
Thanks again to greenthumb for hosting these monthly Scavenger hunts ~
A great collection of photos, I love the mountain view and the 9 o'clock birds!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Louise ~ pleased to know you enjoyed my photos ~ the 9'oclock birds fit the bill in my book ;)
DeleteGreat selection Glo - particularly love the birds and the catkins.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elaine ~ one thing that's good when the trees aren't in leaf... birds are more visible, and little dangly things are set off :)
DeleteThanks for taking part in months scavenger hunt. So many great photos, I really like your photos of a coloured door, M, 9am and crisp. Greenthumb.
ReplyDeleteThanks greenthumb ~ glad you enjoyed my photos and thanks again for hosting each month :)
DeleteI love your wind chimes. Lovely collection of photos.

Thanks Gill ~ glad you liked them ~
DeleteGreat interpretations here Glo, you really do think outside the box. I love 9am, Lit Up and Coloured Door
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona ~ out of the camera, out of the box ~ out in the world :) Glad you enjoyed my photos ~
DeleteA lovely post with terrific photos. I especially like 7 - Brickwork, and 10 - crisp does look rather delicious. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Flighty ~ pleased you enjoyed my photos and glad to share my lunch with you :)
DeleteYour 9 am interpretation is fabulous, what a great idea. The crisp bacon is very tempting, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina ~ the birds helped me look at the category a little differently ;) Glad you enjoyed!
DeleteAnother fine collection, Glo. I don't know why they struck me this way, but after seeing the way you incorporated the curve into the Waxwing image, I started seeing curves in many/most of the others. My eye just went there automatically... mostly the robin's breast, the brickwork, the trees, the logo on the ticket and the bus wheel.
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary ~ Thanks ~ I went back for another look, and you are so right about the curves! Interesting ~ they are everywhere! Thanks for sharing this particular point of view :)
DeleteGood captures, love the cutlery wind chimes,
ReplyDeleteThanks Gillian ~ the chimes are uniquely made by my friend, which makes them even more special.
DeleteA very creative selection here Glo, those mountains are amazing, they don't look real they are that beautiful. I also loved the robin and that lovely little spring basket.
ReplyDeleteOne complaint though...I see no butter on your bun, you HAVE to have butter if it is to be perfection! Yes!!!xxx
Thanks Snowbird ~ Glad you enjoyed my photos. :) Good spotting on the missing butter! I figured with bacon and cheese, that was enough fat in the sandwich, but of course it would have tasted even better with butter!
DeleteA super collection of photos - love the thinking behind 9am and I really like all montage of all the brickwork you found.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mairéad! Happy to know you enjoyed my photos ~ and my thought processes ;)
DeleteHa, bacon!!! I love these! the brick montage is so clever- what lovely brickwork! The 9am one is such a clever and beautiful intepretation!x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kazzie ~ thanks so much ~ happy to know you enjoyed my selections and interpretations :)
DeleteWonderful interpretations, Glo! How timely of the birds to point in the right direction for your collage. And that grate -- what a beauty. The ones around here are very utilitarian and not particularly decorative. Spring baskets of colorful primroses are certainly cheery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki! Yes, the birds were very obliging, weren't they? ;) I think it is a very old grate with nice lines and appealed to my mother (and me). It looked good with logs and a blazing fire in our old house. I am delighted to finally see some colourful spring flowers here ~ still nowhere as plentiful as your delightful roses, but a start!
DeleteYour photos are great, Glo! What a clever shot for 9 am! I always love how you do the "summary collage" at the top. I must be going through flower withdrawal since I got back from my trip and into the snow again. My heart immediately soars when I see everyone's flower photo. Your spring basket is vibrant and beautiful. Have a lovely weekend!
