Surprise I am Participating in A July Photo Challenge

 

 

I knew I would have some time this July to give some attention to participating in Eileen's Monthly Photo Challenge. July's theme was Numbers.  Eileen's Blog

Guidelines are a minimum of five photos, taken during the month (no archival photos), etc., she had also added a challenge that the photos of numbers had to be from different sources, although the same number could be repeated (provided they were from different sources).  

These are some of my Number finds:

1) number on hydro (electricity) box 

 

2) surveyor's painted number on the road

 

3) A visit to McDonald's receipt

 

4) stair location 

 

5)  elevator floor buttons & parking fee notification 

  

6) Truck type

2024 SPSH - 3rd & Final Link In


Today is the 4th & final link in for the 2024 SPSH, hosted by;  This West London Life - 2024 SPSH

For this final link in, these are my finds:

#1 Family Pet or Cute Animal; of course it would be one of my chipmunks. They definitely make me happy to see them about my garden.  Right now they are busy gathering as many peanuts as I feed for their long winter snooze. 


#12 A Place of Worship; the beginning of June I switched churches, this is my previous church.


#15 Something You've Repurposed; A friend gave me this years ago, it's for your dresser or table to put jewelry into the little cup. I use on the patio to hold bird seed or peanuts.

Alternate A: Something misspelt or grammatically incorrect  I found  this recipe years ago in a magazine - the recipe & photo are for a chicken crescent ring, the ingredient list is for the chicken ring, but the instructions talk about adding pudding, bananas, coconut & whipping cream to the shell.  I've kept because it makes me chuckle.




Alternate B: Stamping; a card that I made for a friend's upcoming birthday.



And that is a wrap for the 2024 SPSH - thank you Ruth for hosting the search.

2024 SPSH - 2nd Link In

 Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.  Today is the second of 3 link ins for the 2024 SPSH, hosted by Ruth & her Best Friend over at This West London Life; the list can be found at: This West London Life - 2024 SPSH

For this link in, these are my finds:

#3 - A Colourful Front Door; this one has a colourful past.  I like how the scales of justice are the keystone.  

We crossed an item off my bucket list by walking the reformatory (prison) grounds.  This reformatory closed in 2002 as has been under much discussion as what to do with it.  Overall the main buildings are in good shape. There's about 1000 acres which link in with trails along a river & the university. Difference between a prison & reformatory is that one is governed controlled by the federal government (prison) & the other is controlled provincially. Reformatories are for non-violent crimes.

#4 - What's On Your Feet; my new this season red running shoes (or as some would call them, sneakers or joggers) (trust me no jogging will be done in this shoes).  They are very comfortable & I can wear them with several outfits.  They debuted on Canada Day.

#5 Favourite Summer Food/Meal; hands down or should I say spoons down & I should more often, is Chapman's frozen yoghurt - Black Jack. Oh so good.


#7 Favourite Summer Reading Nook/Space; this is also a favourite winter, autumn & spring space. The floral case is for my bible.



#8 Something Colourful In Your Garden/Neighbourhood; I grew these annuals from seed.  Silver Cup Lavatera (Lavatera trimestris) (aka Tree Mallows)


#11 A Kitchen Utensil You Hardly Ever Use; we rarely have mashed potatoes, usually just at Thanksgiving & Christmas, so my potato masher does not see a lot of action.



See you on Wednesday October 2nd,  for the final link in of the 2024 SPSH.

It wasn't a conference call.
