Time for another link up with Kate for the monthly scavenger photo-hunt
The words for July were :-
CLUTTERED
PADDLE
PINK
STARTS WITH AN 'E'
ROOF
OWN CHOICE
My choices are :-
CLUTTERED
A usually quite empty street is cluttered with stalls and shoppers when the continental market is in town
PADDLE
Spotted these horses cooling off and enjoying a paddle along the north sea coastline last summer
PINK
The hydrangea bush in my garden is full of blooms this year.
It's enjoyed the prolonged rain earlier in the year and recent sunny days.
STARTS WITH AN 'E'
A visit to Bletchley Park recently and we saw the Enigma machines
ROOF
If you lift the roof of the squirrel box in the garden .....
..... you get to eat a tasty nut treat
OWN CHOICE
DH is a fan of the subtitled Italian TV series Montelbano. Inspector Salvo Montelbano often visits with Dr Marco Pasquano, the forensic pathologist and takes him a treat of cannoli - where he proceeds to eat sometimes 6 at a time! A recent trip into the city and we spotted a new Italian café and they were advertising cannoli in the window. Keen to give it a try and see why it might be so delicious we purchased one for each of us. Have you tried them before? I wasn't too impressed but DH liked it.
If you would like to see what other Scavenger Hunters have chosen this month, unfortunately, the link at Kate's blog isn't set up yet as she is having internet provider issues.
Please try visiting her again soon.
**Edited to say Kate's been to the local library, used their free internet and the link up is now working so pop over and visit the other scavengers at the link-up party.
Thanks Kate for your dedication to us scavenger hunters x
Love and blessings
Julie
Lovely photographs, Julie. I especially like the horses on the shore and the squirrel. X
ReplyDeleteTee hee! I like your squirrel box!
ReplyDeleteHi - I have managed to get on to other's blogs by going to those who commented on mine last month and am able to access some of them that way. How often one looks at another's post and thinks....I have that one too....I have several of horses on the beach in Northumberland. Love your squirrel feeder and garden but like your DH I am a huge fan of the Inspector Montelbano series - B just tolerates it. I always wonder how free the streets are of traffic and pedestrians. They must clear all the streets for filming or maybe all those houses are unoccupied and there are no tourists!!
ReplyDeleteYes, hubby comments often how quiet it is on the streets of Vigata. Caterella is my favourite, he's so funny.
DeleteAwww, how cute is the squirrel, it's amazing how they know all the tricks to get a treat. I've never tried Cannoli, I'm wondering what it's been filled with.
ReplyDeleteThe inside of this cannoli was a cream type filling made with sheeps milk. Apparently there are many flavours and variations you can have.
DeleteSuper photos and good choices. Love the squirrel box, love the markets stalls and the horses in the sea. I love watching Montalbano, he does love his food. Great to have seen the enigma machine:)
ReplyDeleteLove the horses and the squirrel box :) The link at Kate's blog is now set up if you haven't already seen it :)
ReplyDeleteYour squirrel photo is so cute. I love English markets & the horses on the beach is great for paddle. Hydrangeas are on of my favourites & I enjoy all the different colours. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. The squirrel is so cute! I've had cannoli with regular whipped creme inside and it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteFab photos ,well done Julie for finding them all.
ReplyDeleteLoved the squirrel one.
A lovely set of photos, each so different. I could be tempted to try a cannoli.... For me the squirrel photos are the best, closely followed by the Enigma machine.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs Julie...love the cheeky squirrel. Debbie x
ReplyDeleteThe squirrel box made me smile Julie. I had never heard of that TV show till Friday when my sister told me that she and her hubby are fans of it and now you mention it too!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of photos!! I love cannoli but the plain kind, nothing but the creamy filling, I don't even like chocolate on or in it. I'll look to see if I can find the tv show in the states. Mary
ReplyDeleteGreat photo entries, and I'm so-so on cannoli as well. It is very sweet and I don't have a lot of sweet stuff, so overwhelming in a way. Your photo of it is delectable though!
ReplyDeleteJulie: Fun post, I love the squirrel sneaking in and stealing nuts, what a hoot.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of cannoli's, have a great week.
Catherine
Great pictures Julie. My hydrangeas are loving the weather this year too
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post, I love the pink of the hydrangea bush, and the squirrel is fun to see too.
ReplyDeleteHusband Eddie and I love Inspector Montalbano series :)
All the best Jan
Salvo seems very popular with us all. Thanks Jan x
DeleteGreat photos for your word prompts this month, Julie! I have never heard of a squirrel box--here we are always trying not to feed them as we are over run with them--they are constantly trying to get at the food we put out for the birds! I'm not crazy about cannoli either--pretty rich for my blood :) Happy August to you! ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your photos each month, especially the squirrel and flowers. I haven´t tried cannoli.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a fun kind of clutter! Lovely horses and beautiful hydrangeas, ours aren't blooming this year.
ReplyDeleteNaughty squirrels, but smart! Cannoli's aren't bad, I wouldn't say no if you offered me one!
Nice photos & beautiful view
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I love your hunts. You always find such great things. I'd love to go to that market...crowd and all. My husband is Italian and so he and his family love them. I don't like anything creamy so they are not for me. But, they look great in your photo. . My internet has been down (guys working in our neighborhood all week) so I'm just catching up with everyone. Hope you have a great week. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
