Well, I’ve only just managed to scrape together all the photos for this month – I just don’t seem to have been in the right places to get what was needed this time so some of them are a bit of a cheat!
Here goes:
A black cat – I found this in my latest copy of The Create and Craft Club Magazine – lucky or what!
Candle lit – the middle one is battery operated which I bought from QVC a few years ago, the other two are real perfumed candles.
Crunchy leaves – these are something there is never a shortage of in our garden once they start falling off the trees – we live in front of an old railway embankment which is covered with trees which constantly drop leaves into our garden in the autumn.
Fog/mist – we hadn’t seen any of this for a while, then a couple or mornings last week we had some morning mist – yeah – I managed to get this photo before it disappeared.
Golden – this is my gold wedding ring.
Graffiti – I intended going to a local underpass to take a photo of some graffiti which has been especially done in there to brighten it up but I never got around to it! So, sorry, I cheated on this one and just wrote the word ‘Graffiti’ on a sheet of paper. Naughty me!
Heritage – for this it was my intention to take a photo of the Rowland Hill statue in town – the inventor of the postage stamp – but because there were people standing around at the bus stop I didn’t want to take it in case they thought I was photographing them! Instead I took a photo of our local Debenhams Desire department store which is housed in one of the old carpet factories in town – hence the heritage!
Pumpkin – two for the price of one in a local newspaper.
This is the river Stour which runs in the river Severn at Stourport – I took this photo earlier in the year when we had the really bad snow storms.
Something Eerie – I was a bit stuck on this one – first of all I took a photo of Martin’s Simpson’s magazine – then I took a photo of the front of a horror story book which I received as a School Prize back in 1971 – as I couldn’t make up my mind which one to use I’ve posted both!
Sunset – sorry this is not a photo I took myself – I got this from my ‘Sample’ folder on my computer as sunsets are something we can’t see from our house because of living beside the old railway embankment – the sun goes down behind there!
Last but not least – another one I was struggling with – Witch’s hat/broomstick – in the end I got both and the black cat! I found these in a book of Martin’s called Ghoul School – it’s a pop-up book which he has had since Middle School.
So there we have it – October list completed. Let’s hope I do better for November and December. I always start off with good intentions then fall at the last hurdle!
