Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt

Spring is officially here (even if it doesn't feel like it yet) and the Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt organised by Eileen and Joy is over. I spent the final day (Saturday) catching up with all those photos that fall into the 'I know where it is; I just need to take the photo' category.

The original list had 20 items, plus two that could be substituted if necessary. I was on 13 last time I checked in, but I've made good progress in the last two weeks, and actually got all of them, if you accept my interpretations of the prompts. If not, I have both substitute items too.

Here are all my winter finds:

1. Reflection in water
13 December - Grasmere

2. Someone wearing a funny hat
13 December



3. Ornate door knocker
6 February - Greenwich




4. Breakfast



5. Something that is over 100 years old
2 January - Old London Bridge alcove



6. Winter weather
It's been a warm winter here, not much frost or snow, but plenty of rain (which is quite hard to photograph).



7. Someone dressed for the season
Me, in my winter coat.



8. A fish
21 February - Thames Path




9. Festive lights

10. A letter shape in nature or in an object
11 January - North Woolwich



11. Polka dots
21 March - I'm a scrapbooker. I have paper, including polka dot paper.



12. Silhouette
21 February - City of London



13. Stained glass window
11 January - Plaistow



14. Partly built new building
20 January - Greenwich Peninsula



15. Bunting
21 February - Brunel Museum, Rotherhithe



16. A collection (of anything)
21 March - Some of my Pocket Dragons



17. Texture
12 December - ice on the car roof



18. Shadow
10 March - Mine, on the Golden Jubilee Sundial, Westminster




19. Street musicians
10 March - South Bank, London



20. Nativity scene  - compulsory and can’t be substituted.
21 March - I started the hunt after Christmas, so I thought I'd missed my chance for this one, but this is an illustration from my Children's Bible.




Alternative A - New life
21 March - Shoots on our snowball bush



Alternative B - A decorated tree
21 December - Royal Exchange, London




So that's it. Another hunt over. Come and see what everyone else found via the link-up In Eileen's Playroom.

And then start counting the weeks until Rinda launches her Summer Hunt.

  1. Great job! That texture is really impressive! I needed to use both alternatives myself.
    Never got the musicians or door knocker. Need to post a round up soon.
