Aprils Scavenger Hunt

It's the 1st of the month 

Which means it's
time for my photos for this months Scavenger Hunt
Once again my thanks to Green Thumb at Made with Love
for organising this every month.

1. 11am
Taken from the car on the A47
as we were travelling home after our few days away.



2. Truck
or at least the front of one.


3.Smooth
We have had the Elephant trail in Norwich
This shows just how smooth and shiny they are.


Heres another one with a beautiful
stained glass window painted on it.



4. Scrap

Pile of scrap wood on some waste ground.
Not a very good photo I'm afraid 
as it was a last minute find.



5. Carry
Another Elephant, this one painted by our
friend Martin Wall, with a nice sentiment.


Here it is from the front.


and although not Scavenger Hunt photos
here are a few of our favourites




This one is my husbands


And this one is mine even with the lights
shining on it.



The Elephants are apparently touring the UK
over the Summer
so if you get the chance to see them they are well worth it.

Back to the Scavenger Hunt


6. A is for…

Abbey. Newstead Abbey.


7. Scale
I was struck by the different sizes of the windows
in the Abbey ruins, Maybe not exactly scale but I struggled with this one.


8. Match
Matching flower beds.


9. Layers
Some very clever Topiary.


10. Logo
 The Bin it logo. 


11. Paths
These go through the estate of Thoresby Hall.


12.Tile
I love these floor tiles .


So that's my contribution for this month.
A month when I've been very quite haven't I but
with various bits and pieces it has been a bit trying
Still,  today is my 32nd Wedding anniversary and
Saturday is my Birthday so time to
look forward and have some fun maybe.

  12. The elephants are really fun! They did something similar here with ducks because the sports team at the university is the Ducks. I love the stained glass window on the elephant. And the layered topiary is very clever!

  14. I love those elephants - we had a cow parade in Dublin a few years ago which I guess are something similar. The garden shot is beautiful.
