August Break - Day 11

play


"The Carousel"

Brightly painted horses prance
on poles made out of brass
The jumpers and the standers
With their eyes made out of glass

A blur of colored horses
As the carousel gains speed
As little girls and boys sit tall
Upon their wooden steed

Scavenger Hunt Sunday ~ January 20, 2013



 
It's been a busy week! Full of photography, decluttering, cleaning, and the routine stuff!  Of course, the most enjoyable time, was the time with my camera in hand. I'm joining once again with Ashley Sisk's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  I had to do a little creative thinking to find them all!

Our prompts this week were:
basket
park
auto
recycle
people watching

 
basket
This tiny basket is a little over one inch tall. It's woven with pine needles.


park
I took this photo at "Fun Land" in the park. I remember going there as a teenager with Mr. H although I doubt we rode many rides, he was not particularly fond of them. My favorite ride will always be the Carousel. I wonder how many children have ridden this prancing stallion.

 
 
 Auto
How many drivers do you need for this auto?

 
 recycle
I love to find ways to recycle vintage linens. I found an antique quilt at a flea market that was tattered in many places. I brought it home and made pillows out it. I also found a dresser scarf that was beyond repair, but had this lovely crocheted border. I removed the border and used it on this pillow.
 
 
People Watching
This was the most difficult prompt for me. I don't take pictures of people other than family.  I really did try to go people watching and take some photos, but they were awful!  I'm just not brave enough.  I decided to share a picture of my Dad. He loves people watching!

I've enjoyed my week.
I hope you have too! 
May next week be extra special for you!
 
 
The purpose of life,
after all,
is to live it

to reach out eagerly and without fear
for newer and richer experiences.
