I’ve collected a few more items for Eileen’s Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt, and thought I’d get them posted. I just have four more to find, and think that I’ll be able to complete the hunt well before the March 21st deadline.
I wasn’t too sure what to do with the first item on the list, “Layers,” but then realized that one of the cards I made last year (but never posted) was the perfect example of layers. Actually, a card like this is often hard to find in my files, since I tend to more CAS designs. This one has five layers by my count.
A key is #3 on the list, and I took this photo for one of the Capture Your 365 prompts in January. One advantage of an old house is interesting little details. This lock is to the china closet in our dining room.
Tools is #18. Tracy recently installed a new thermostat. It will allow us to set the heat from afar with our iPhones among many other improvements over the old one. This time owning an older house had its disadvantages as there were many more wires and connections than he anticipated. I found him next to the furnace, tools laid out next to the iPad which had directions for the installation, and ran to get my camera.
Number 19 is a bird feeder. Finally today I was able to get a decent shot from our kitchen window. Frequently when I pick up my camera the motion from inside sends all the birds scattering to the trees and bushes.
Finally, one of the alternates: a pinecone. This ought to have been an easy one, but I kept missing my opportunities. Then last month, at bridge, our friend had this arrangement next to her fireplace.
We’re continuing to enjoy April-like temperatures in February. Lady Ella asked me, not long ago, if there were any signs of spring here yet. At the time, I hadn’t seen any, but today on my walk, I saw multiple bulbs pushing up through the soil. Our new hydrangeas in the front yard have some buds on them as well. I hope when the winter snow and weather returns (as we know it will) that they all will survive!
Ah well done! I think I have four more to get, but there are several others which I’d like to improve on. That’s a great tool belt!
Pleased to hear the bulbs are doing their thing. As I went out this morning I saw several clumps of tete-a-tete daffs in bloom. Can’t tell you how they made me smile!
A great collection. I like the idea of using your iPhone to set the heating.
The items for the hunt are always so interesting and you make them even more so with your finds…my fave of this bunch is the layers of the card. Truly clever! And how lucky to get a shot of a bird at the feeder. Birds have such powerful senses of sound/motion…
continue to enjoy spring-like weather. Maybe Mother Nature will be kind to us this year – ha!
Cheers~
Great catches. I like your layers (such a pretty card). I just checked our weather forecast for the next 14 days – rain is called for more than snow until March 4th. I am hoping everything stills below ground until at least late March. This type of thaw confuses everyone & everything.
Gorgeous card on with that beautiful purple background!
and look at your photos! I always enjoy following your scavenger!

That layered card is lovely!! But the bird feeder is my favorite shot here!
Fun to read about another old house lover! We live in a big old house too. The lock is wonderful!
Oh, I miss the old house we lived in before we came here! I love that smooth door knob and the lock and imagining how many people have used it over the years.
