October Scavenger Hunt

Tuesday, 1 November 2011


All I am going to say about the October challenge is thank goodness I work where I do. Most of these were taken at work during the Halloween event.

Sunset:


Over the River Mersey towards the Wirral. I had one of the settings on my camera slightly off so this was a complete accident!

A black cat:


This is a little tin thing I've had since I was about 6.

Crunchy leaves:


My overwhelming memory of October has been sog. The leaves were almost never crunchy; they were soggy and wet and stuck to my shoes all month. Resorted to some trees in the end.

Fog/mist:


So despite the sog, we never actually had any fog or mist *shakes fist at the weather*

Golden:


My new effalump ring

Graffiti:


It counts, right? Very old graffiti, anyway.
ETA - I *think* it just says one to fourteen

Candlelit:



Heritage:


I think I had too much choice for this one. Honestly, I could have taken a picture of just about anything and it would have qualified.

Pumpkin:


Yup, at work, during the Halloween event.

Something eerie:


There's a ghost story associated with it but I won't dash your hopes and explain how inaccurate it is...

River:


The Mersey. There's usually more water in it, honest.

Witch's hat/broomstick:

Both! In your FACE scavenger hunt challenge!

Thanks, as always, to Kathy for organising this. You can see everyone else's collections here.

  2. The 'accidental' setting has made for a wonderful, atmospheric photo. What a beaut! And vintage graffiti; that's a new one on me! How old IS it?

  6. i totally missed out on pumpkin carving this year, the rangers wanted to do it and there were no pumpkins a few wks ago, and then by the time yday came for guides halloween party, there were none left! i quite like them, but not sure what i would have done with it so maybe not a bad thing after all.
    love the sunset picture!!
