The Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt Final Choice

The time has come to show the final choices for this Winter's photo hunt. So here goes:-
1. Men at Work. 
I have enlarged the scope of this slightly to People at Work to acknowledge equality in the workplace. Farmer husband and farmer daughter are busy on a fencing job.


2. Luggage 
The cross section of a plane at the Bristol aerospace museum.


3. Domestic Trivia.
A lot of pancakes to make for Shrove Tuesday. A few dented eggs will be ideal for the job!


4. A Winter's Tale (or tail).
I have a number of scenic winter pictures but this one actually tells the story of what a very snowy day can mean on the farm. Delivering water, feed and bedding to the animals.


Then of course the winter tail!


5. Passengers.
The open top sightseeing bus in Bath is not over full on a chilly day in March especially on the top.


6. Wrapping Paper.
I completely forgot this prompt at Christmas when we were surrounded by wrapping paper. This is a close up of one of the offerings in Tescos.


7. On the Water.
The Pultney weir in Bath looking very angry after a lot of rain.



8. Silver.
An interesting sign outside an antique silver shop in Bath.


9. In the Making.
Christmas shortbread being prepared by student daughter.


10. Having fun.
Poppy loved playing in the snowdrifts. 


11. Library/ Bookshop.
These telephone box libraries seem to be popping up everywhere.

 
Or a bit of relaxing reading in a Bath cafe.


12. Stationery. 
I was a little stumped on this one until I remembered a box of old postcards. How times have changed from when a postcard was required to ask to be met from a train. A lot more planning was needed. This card was written by Grandmother to her sister. The A referred to is my grandfather. I cannot read the date but suspect he "went off" back to the army during WW1.


13. A line of.....
So many choices for this one.
I have got it down to two.



14. Stones.
A multicolour sample of rock with seams of red and yellow ochre.


15. Bow.
A model outside the Jane Austin Centre wearing a stylish hat.


16. A Sense of History.
Visiting Concorde in it's specially built hangar and seeing all the memorabilia definitely gave me a sense of history that I have lived through!


17.Many.
Many pennies cover this mini at The Royal Mint.


18. Signpost.
It speaks for itself.


19. A Pair of...
Very posh litter bins in The Circus, Bath.


20. Detail.
We came across this massive crocheted blanket on Bristol harbourside. This shows a small detail.


21. Handle.
In the garden shed.


22. Symmetry.
A calm day on the Kennet and Avon Canal.


23. A Heart.
A novel gift for Valentine's Day.


24. Steam/ smoke/mist.
The early sun reflected in the smoke from the wood burner.



25. A Peek inside.
Not my initial choice but this amused me. I wonder what is inside!


Finally a proper peek inside. Looking into a snowdrift.


A big thanks to Eileen and Joy for arranging this year's hunt.
