Scavenger Hunt - January

I'm pleased to be linking to Greenthumb's Scavenger Hunt again this year, I missed the last few months.  To be honest the recent weather hasn't been up to much picture taking, so some of the following are from the archives.
Here are my snaps for JANUARY'S list.


Something new

the year




Landscape

A local vista



Words

none needed here



Cold

 Early morning frost on a sedum seed head



Bottle

 memories of last year's holiday in France...look, sun!



Up high

 the sails on Rottingdean windmill



In the fridge

No caviar or chocolate body paint here I'm afraid.



Texture




Hidden

Hmmm, bit of a tenuous link here but I struggled with this one.



Blue

 taken at Rottingdean, East Sussex


Big

 My dad, brother and nephew on the big wheel in La Rochelle






Whatever you want

I recently found this photo at dad's house, taken of mum and I on the occasion of my parents ruby wedding anniversary in 2001.  I'm not sure I'd seen it before but it's a nice one of us both I think. 
She is very much missed.

Thanks as always to Greenthumb for hosting and please do take a squizz at the other link ups....you can find them here.

  1. Every time I see one of these posts I think - hmm that looks fun - must look into it. And then I forget until I see them again the following month! Love your headless swan - not a tenuous link at all - very creative I think. And as for the treasured photo of you and your mum - absolutely lovely. Thanks for your comments about my header - I think I'm almost there! Mr K searches for out of copyright images(most Victorian images are)on Google and then uses Photoshop to create a collage - rather him than me! Have a lovely weekend x Jane

  5. Ahh, what a gorgeous photo of you and your Mum. You look alike, I think, same face shape and mouth. And she looks kind and friendly - also just like you, Fiona.
    As always, your photos are fantastic. Despite your struggles, I think "Hidden" is beautiful and a clever interpretation, and the frost and autumn texture pics are beautiful. xxx

  8. Lovely collection. The landscape photo is beautiful and I like texture too. Rudyard Kipling was named after a place very close to where I live :)
    The photo of you and your mum was a lovely find.

  13. Great set of photos. Landscape gave me a flutter of excitement for the warmth of summer to come. I'm really wishing I photographed something healthy in my fridge after seeing yours! Love the windmill too. x

  16. That's a beautiful photo of you and your mum. You do look alike.

  17. What gorgeous photos! I especially love Texture, and that lovely bottle of pink elixir. I haven't done the scavenger hunt for months, but you're inspiring me to think about it again. Thanks for your comments on my blog!

  19. Brill photos!
    Ha, if you think your hidden is tenuous (which it isn't- it's genius!), see mine!
    I love your local landscape picture, wish our weather was like that. The bottle shot makes me long for sunshine. I also like how you captured the fridge. Any shots I took looked appalling ofmine!x

  20. Fabulous pics Fiona and all so different too. The pic of you and your Mum is lovely and it's great to have such a memory too.
    The Charlie one made me pause too after all the terrible happenings last month.

  21. A wonderful set of photos, Fiona. I also saw the similarity between you and your mom and so sorry that she is no longer with you. Pictures such as those are treasures.
    I thought a hidden swan's head was perfect! The texture photo is great, and especially pronounced after your colourful and healthy looking vegetable drawer. Brave folk going on the Big Wheel! Have fun with February's list.

  22. Uma bela coleção de fotos, uma incrível ideia a de usar o calendário para algo novo.
    Adorei a foto do frio, para o alto é encantadora, a textura tão diferente.
    Amei a foto com você e sua mãe!
    Beijos

  26. Such a lovely photo of you and your mum. Great mix of pics altogether - like the headless swan with the ripples x

  27. Your photos are always really inspiring, but this time far and away my favourite is that lovely photo of you and your mum. You look so beautiful and what Curtise said is spot on; you both have kind, friendly faces. Xxxxx
