Good bye Summer; Hello Fall
If it wasn't for the photo hunt
I wouldn't blog at all...
At least that's the way it seems!
1. S is for Special Snuggles and Swampy Sunbather
I've previously mentioned these two special pals that live in a nearby field. They spend much time together, and recently I was fortunate enough to see them both snuggling together then having a little chat ~ just like friendly next door neigh-baa's do ;)
basking in a delightful pond, edged with bulrushes swarming with swift-darting dragonflies.
2. is 2 p.m.
"Does this ring a bell?" she chimed in.
3. Car park
Here's an old caboose car parked in a shed at the McLean Mill (steam sawmill).
4. Hat
Introducing the Juan and only wiry Senor Siesta sporting a Sombrero ~
An artist, wearing a sunhat, surrounded by driftwood. Wondering if she had brought her painting equipment with her via that little boat, I inquired. "Oh no," says she, "I live in that cabin behind me." Sweet!
and Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Town Crier in his Tricorn hat. But what is he Hear Ye-ing about?
5. In the mirror
Reflecting on this choice, during a recent trip to Victoria, I took a photo from a rooftop restaurant of this mirrored building.
6. Garden
Across the road from the neigh-baa's is this colourful dahlia garden.
7. Lock
A locked gate covers the doors to this campground convenience store, (a little incongruent with the word convenience).
8. Nails
In a previous photo scavenger hunt, I posted a photo of a trestle, and on that trip I remembered seeing some large railroad stakes pounded into some fallen tree trunks. Today, I returned to the location and nailed them down ~ Why are they there? Don't know...I'm stumped ;)
9. Lame lamp ~ I say this because this is a photo of one of the solar lamps on my sun deck. It's not even lit! Perhaps I'll be back later to update when it goes on :)
Update: not perfectly lined up, but you get the idea
10. Street sign
This cautionary sign was in a car park near a popular hiking area ~
If it isn't warnings about bears, it's warnings about cougars ~ People walking little dogs are especially cautioned when there are cougar sightings.
11. Game
I returned to a location where I took a photo or a saltwater swimming pool in a previous photo hunt. This time I am focussing on the large chess board ~
12. Outside your window
Today while I was waiting for the 2 o'clock photo ~ I took a photo out of the car window ~ autumn splendour!
Once again, thanks to Greenthumb for hosting these monthly photo scavenger hunts! Also many thanks to those who leave comments on my blog ~ even when I'm AWOL.
