Photo Scavenger Hunt Post 4

This is it – the last one! I have managed to find all but one of the 21 items on the list, but #19 (Fisherman) eluded me, so I took one of the substitutions allowed.

Without further ado, here are my final six photos:

#2 - Theater for performing arts

#2 – Theatre for performing arts

Greytown has a very small population (under 2,000 people), but it boasts its own theatre! It is located behind one of the hairdressing salons, with the entry under the awning you can see down the driveway. We went to a stunning marionette play The Kitchen at the End of the World there last year, and you can read about that here.

#17 - Candle

#17 – Candle

This rather out-of-focus shot was taken at a very special dinner  DH and I had to celebrate our 29th Anniversary.

#18 Local pub, coffee shop or tea house

I’m giving you a little bit more here, with a slice of Greytown’s Main Street. There’s the recently-renovated Union Church on the left, Jack & Jill Cafe in the middle, and the Greytown Butchery on the right. I believe Greytown has more eateries per head of permanent population than any other town in New Zealand – there’s lots of choice for diners who can select anything from a quick bar meal right up to Michelin-star quality dining. Jack & Jill Cafe is a great daytime venue, and it has great coffee and lovely food. I also appreciate giving business to someone who supports ours (they use Fantail Grove olive oil).

#19 - A fisherman

Well obviously this is NOT a fisherman! Rinda gave two allowable substitutions for the items we couldn’t find. I’m claiming one here – a sundial. I hope you can see how accurate this one is: I placed my watch into the shot to showing the time as 1313, and the sundial is reading about 1310!

#20 - A dinosaur (take 1)

#20 – A dinosaur (take 1)

This is one of the many pieces of public art to be found all over the city of Melbourne. Along with the many green spaces and fantastic architecture, the art is one of the hallmarks of this city. Although it’s certainly big enough to be one, I’m not sure it is supposed to be a dinosaur though, so I also submit this next photo:

The tree across from the library’s big picture window was pollarded in the autumn, and now it looks very much like… a dinosaur. That’s what most of the children who visit our library think, and I agree with them!

#21 - A photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply

#21 – A photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply

There were no substitutions allowed for this one. I chose to show one of my sewing machines because it was the tool used most for my early creativity (sewing clothing for myself, friends and family), later for my adventures in patchwork and quilting, and now for sewing on paper and cardstock on my scrapbooking layouts and cards.  This photo also represents an understanding reached between me and my new camera: I have mastered the self-timer function!

I’d like to say a big thank you to Rinda for organising this Photo Scavenger Hunt – I’ve had lots of fun finding the items (and almost as much fun thinking of reasons why my maybe-not-quite-what-she-had-in-mind items should be allowed)!

  1. Well done on completing the hunt. Good set of photos, and I loved the dinosaur tree trunk! Very quirky! Kind regards, John W #17.

  2. Congratulations on your 29th anniversary. Nice photograph of you at your sewing machine. I’m surprised at how many have chosen the photograph themselves with their sewing machine. Not sure why that surprises me since I sew…now only very occasionally. I guess I consider it one of those dying arts and it surprised me that there have been quite a handful of participants with their machines..

  3. I really love the photograph of the dinosaur in the tree trunk. Congratulations on 29 years of marriage. Well done in completing the hunt. Andy
