August Scavenger Photo-hunt!

Blue

Moss and I were waiting for Eldest to complete his day of volunteering up in Malham.

Leaning back, against a haversack with book in hand, 

I looked up and through a veil of wind blown grass heads, 

I watched clouds bob across a blue blue sky.

Eye

Pan, our 'princess' was a rescue. 

Her origins are not particularly auspicious however, 

she does not let that get her in her way. 

She has complete and utter rule, we are merely her staff and we live within her domain. 

We love her dearly and we'd like to  think, that in her own funny little way - 

she is rather fond tolerant of us.

Button

We found this 'button' on farmland. Far away from any buildings. It's nearest 'neighbour' was rusting farm equipment - I immediately thought 'button' as in on a tractor or something similar, 

the boys disagreed but were not able to offer a suitable alternative. 

Himself thought it might be an old door knob. 

Oh ... hmmm - he's probably correct. 

Hey ho, for the needs of an image, I decreed it a button!

Favourite

My dear dear man, 

who stands by me, stands up for me 

and brings me a coffee in bed on a Saturday morning,

(plus silly collie)

at the foot of Vaternish Lighthouse,

Skye.

Feet

Same furry 'princess'.

Glass

I am fascinated by the history of church architecture, 

the stories that the buildings have woven into their fabric. 

Even the smallest and least imposing seem to have a stained glass window 

bequeathed to them by a long forgotten benefactor. 

Green

Our favourite evening walk incorporates a stop at our neighbouring village green.

At the base of the wall is a trough, filled by spring water. Once the village's water supply,

due to typhoid it was relegated to decorative purposes only,

and a dog watering hole.

And just in case you did not notice the dog ...

she is the levitating idiot in the middle of the image....

Floor

Our front vestibule 

(a very posh name for the very small and useless space in our hallway) 

has a rather gloriously Victorian mosaic floor. 

We never see it or appreciate it, in fact I'd even forgotten it was there 

until I collected the post one morning and realised I could use the pattern for my floor photo.

Knitted/crocheted/sewn/hand made

A couple of years ago, 

I was invited to knit a guillemot for a coastal themed summer display.

So for one balmy summer, 

I had a wonky guillemot 

residing in the information centre in the delightful village of St Abbs, Scotland.

My own choice

The last day of our holidays in Skye, 

the afternoon sun lit up the seed heads of  yellow Cat's Ear. 

It seemed to depict my mood - the end of the season, the beginning of autumn,

the end of my holiday,

yet it seemed so calm and organised,

fruitful and positive.
