Photo Scavenger Hunt - July

Good evening

Well here's something that never happened during my school days - I'm handing my homework in early! Due to impending hols, here's my efforts for this months scavenger hunt;

 Celebration - a pile of certificates and reports that the boys received at the end of term. Certificates celebrating achievements and reports that are both worth celebrating :)

Fields - normally holding sheep but for one month a year, this field is part of the Latitude Festival site - even on a very wet Saturday afternoon there are still plenty of hardy festival goers about waiting for the next act on stage.

 Flag - one of many around the main stage at the festival.

Flip flops - mine - abandoned in the garden on a sunny afternoon.

Something that makes me happy (not a person or animal) - these pebbles represent the seaside. I've lived near the coast since the age of 8 and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I love the sea breezes we get when the weather is warm, walking along the beach on a blustery winters day and that special salty seaside smell.

Ice cream - a MrWhippy 99 - my favourite - eaten on the Prom at Southwold on a hot sunny day - bliss

A kite - not an easy one to capture on film. Taken at Aldeburgh on a less sunny day last weekend.

 Red, white & blue - one of my dresses (made by a friend). This was commented on when I posted about Latitude. Its not actually patchwork but fabric printed to look like it.  


 A seashell - Maggi Hamblings Scallop - on the beach between Aldeburgh & Thorpeness. It was a busy day and it took a while to get a shot without children in the way - can you see them hiding??

 A star - on my right wrist - a birthday pressie from my sisters a few years ago and No it didn't hurt.

 Strawberries - taken right at the beginning of the month at the PYO farm.

Stripes - MrVV's t-shirts hanging on the clothes horse awaiting ironing!!

Thank you Kathy for keeping my eyes open for another month. 

See you again later in the week.

Oh fab! I have only just joined this and so far mine would be very boring compared to yours, so 10 out of 10 and a gold star from me! Have a great holiday and hope the sun shines loads.

Great finds, It is amazing how much this makes you open your eyes and how different everyones finds are.

I started this last month and have been trying to find all the things from all the previous months as well so have been very busy searching and look forward to sharing them with everyone xxx

Not only is your homework in early but you iron t-shirts too. Your middle name must be Wonder Woman... Haven't seen that shell for a while- need a seaside trip soon. Ax

I love Aldeburgh. I live near the Kent coast, we went to Herne Bay on Saturday and there is nothing like a blast of cool seaside air and an ice cream. I would hate to live somewhere where I was more than a 30 min drive from the sea. x

A lovely reminder of July. Here's to lots of sunshine in August. Happy Holidays. x

My fave is the pebbles - they just look ready for me to put my bare foot into!
