2015 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt - Part 1

Hi Everyone,

As mentioned in an earlier post, here, I've been out and about over the last few weeks scavenging for photos on Rinda's list for this year - my first year of participating. So far, I'm not doing too badly so here, in no particular order, are the first few.

#1 - A bouquet of flowers.

Discovered this charming tribute to a loved one attached to a silver birch that had been planted as a memorial in Eglinton Country Park. In a buttercup meadow the yellow roses looked perfect and I was touched to see that they have been placed in a bag of water to keep them fresh.

#2 - An ornate door knocker

Spotted on the door of a rather grand restaurant in Ayr town ...

... dine there and you get red carpet treatment.

#5 - Architectural columns

South Ayrshire's County Buildings are very grand with columns front and back.

#13 - A merry-go-round or carousel.

I discovered this bright and cheerful carousel with giant teacups down at a children's play centre near Ayr seafront.

#19 - A ticket booth

Found in the same children's play centre as the carousel - a lucky find.

That's the first five items found. Sadly, I missed the opportunity to snap item #18 yesterday simply because I didn't have my camera with me when the perfect overloaded vehicle drew up beside us at a set of traffic lights ... better luck next time!
