Joining in with Kate and the other scavenger photo hunters.
For this months words and pictures I have been spending time looking back at holiday photographs.
It's been a really enjoyable way to spend some time and reminding me of happy times
There were so many I could have chosen but settled on these :-
TRIANGLE
Wolferton Royal station in Norfolk. This was the train station the Queen used to embark at to go to her royal residence at Sandringham. It's not been in use since 1969 but the homeowners still allow visitors to stop by and take a look at their collection of memorabilia. It's really interesting and you can read about it here. No longer a train line but the original gates show lovely triangles.
CIRCLE
A view of the countryside at harvest time, the corn rolls in the field.
We were travelling along on a steam train at the time this was taken.
DH was celebrating his 65th birthday.
SPLAT
I told hubby I was struggling to find something for this one.
His answer .... we saw birds making a nest from splats when we were in Wales, I bet no one will have a pic of that.
I looked it up and yes, birds so make nests from splats. Here's the swallows nest we saw with a little baby chick whilst we waited in the wooden shack for the steam train to pick us up at Dolgelau.
SQUARE
Samples of gansey patterns used on fishermans jumpers.
Sheringham Museum had a great exhibition.
STAR
Stars were on the walkway along the promenade at Morecombe Bay with a statue of Eric Morecombe overlooking sayings of his.
OWN CHOICE
At the end of the day, a lovely walk along the beach watching the sunset.... perfect!
You can see what the other photo hunters have chosen here.

I have a thing about circular bales (corn rolls) - they're very peaceful, like natural sculptures - so it was lovely to see your photograph. I like the swallow's nest too. By splats do you mean droppings and cow pats??
ReplyDeleteYes exactly that for the splats.
DeleteLovely Julie & glad someone else had to browse their archives. Did you realise the roof of both buildings sported great triangles. I loved the colour of the fields with circular bales & your star which was within circles. Take care, stay safe & huggles.
ReplyDeleteLovely selection.
ReplyDeleteI always like to see the bales rolled in the field and that sunset is glorious.
Enjoy the weekend
All the best Jan
Julie: What a fun post, I do like the hay bales,, here the corn is just starting to come up.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Catherine
Nearly all comments mention hay bales. I think we all love to see them lying in the fields. I too, like Susan, saw triangles everywhere, especially in the first picture. Enlarge it and it has dozens of triangles! Good choice and interesting link from it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jak. I didn't realise there were so many triangles till people mentioned them all... better change my specs!
DeleteGreat photos again Julie .
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.
A real test for the brain to come up with a photo but you've done a brilliant job and have taken us around the country too.
ReplyDeleteAre these all photos that you have taken yourself? I was wondering as I belong to a photo club and we have challenges also but they have to be photos you take yourself.
ReplyDeleteYes Mary, all my own
DeleteWonderful photos Julie. My favorite is the sunset!!
ReplyDeleteLooking back over holiday photos, what a great way to come up with pictures for this hunt. I get so much enjoyment looking back at old photos and remembering the happy times we've had. I remember going to Morecambe as a child and I've never been back since. It was before Eric Morecambe died so of course the statue wouldn't have been there then. Beautiful sunset photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos especially the sunset. I love the Eric Morecombe statue and the gansey squares in the museum:)
ReplyDeleteVery clever use of images to words - very impressed! My favourite has to be 'splat' thank you for joining in x
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I like how the stars are within the circles. Your sunset shot is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou chose some wonderful photos for the prompts, Julie. It's always fun to see what you come up with--they are so creative :) Happy 65th birthday to your husband--we are the same age! My husband turns 65 in mid-July :) Hope June is a good month for you ♥
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what you come up with for the prompts!
ReplyDeleteLove them all!
Have a great week Julie!
Hugs

Revisiting old holiday photos was a good way to make your photo selections this month, Julie. I imagine it could have took you longer than usual to make your photo selections as you reminisced over times past.
ReplyDeleteHello! Just popped in from 'I live I love' to see your shape pics! What a good idea to revisit old holiday pics - that would have been another holiday afternoon in itself! I love your interpretation of 'circle', very clever. Those monster straw bales are a sight to see when they're all strung out on a field, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, its nice to see new people and visit back with them too.
DeleteLovely photos. It is nice to be able to look back on some happy holidays.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Julie - and I laughed at the splat! Your sunset is gorgeous, but my favourite is seeing Eric Morecambe in the background of your Star - that pose captures him entirely - he was such a star
ReplyDeleteLovely photo choices Julie
ReplyDeletegreat
