Sorted with Style

I have enjoyed the task of exploring my everyday environment this week to capture the prompts for Scavenger Hunt Sunday. This week the challenge was to 1. Capture the sky 2. Everyday. 3. Furry 4. Life 5. Blurred.


Capture the Sky: Last night we had the most beautiful sunset, it looked as if someone had painted the sky!


Life: "Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower" Hans Christian Anderson.
Blurred:  It is amazing how difficult it is to take a blurred photograph when you try! Thank goodness for the visiting Praying Mantis!

                                                            

I had always assumed that I knew exactly what the colour Indigo was! That was until in joining the Project64: Out of the Box challenge I had to actually find it!
After considerable searching and discarding of many various shades of blue, I finally decided it was best articulated in the colours of my son's marble collection! In true Serendipity spirit, I fortunately discovered that one of my glass bowls was also in fact Indigo in colour.

With limited time to participate in Scavenger Hunt Sunday this week. I decided that it was essential to keep things simple. The challenge was finding 1. A Stack 2. Chocolate 3. Canned food 4. Music 5. Numbers.

1. Stack: My pebble collection came in handy for this prompt, although I never appreciated just how difficult they were to stack!




3. Chocolate: This is one item we always have in abundance in our household. I couldn't resist the gooey consistency of this chocolate cake in the making!

Each year we have a Valentine tradition in which the children set up and serve us a special Valentine meal. They love decorating the house and waiting upon us both.

After extensive searching I managed to find a glimpse of grey right on my own doorstep! Amidst all the bright vivid green leaves there stood a splash of gray on the flower of my banana tree. It was only after discovering this that I realised that I actually drive beneath the steel gray of the Sydney Harbour Bridge every day! So much for taking my surroundings for granted!!!!

Whilst parts of the world are in the midst of severe winter weather conditions, in Australia we have been inundated with floods, cyclones and heatwave conditions. Here in Sydney we are onto our seventh consecutive day of unrelenting heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees. It has been difficult to summon the strength to do any activity, but here regardless is my Scavenger Hunt Sunday, heatwave hunt!!!The prompts this week were 1. Quote 2. Water 3. Activity 4. Window 5. Page 25 of a magazine.

                                                       
3. Window:  Well I certainly have an abundance of windows - great for letting in light, but not the best for keeping out the HEAT!

4. Activity: About the only activity we can summons ourselves to do this week is a trip to the beach!
