March Scavenger Hunt

I really enjoyed this month's scavenger hunt. I used my iPhone and the Camera+ app (which is just as well as I broke my 'real' camera!), I made all the photographs square and used a separate effect on each - which ever I felt suited the image best.

morning
I wake up every morning with my Lumie alarm clock.
It wakes me up slowly by simulating sunrise, it's so much nicer than a blaring alarm!
They say it can help sufferers of SAD, I certainly felt happier being woken up on gloomy winter mornings with this. It's available on Amazon for approximately £60.00



buttons
I have a bit of a thing for buttons. A fear of buttons is called koumpounophobia, Steve Jobs suffered from this (or so Google tells me). I'm the opposite, I find them rather tactile, friendly little things. I can't bring myself to throw away a button, no matter how ordinary it is.

or, more accurately, my kitchen table



theatre
Great seats to see Sarah Millican at the Regent Theatre.
We weren't allowed to take pic during the show and I was too chicken to try and get a sneaky one!



street name
Rather a mouth full I thought!



fancy
My absolute favourite kind of fancy.



landmark
Those red dots? The Mendlesham Mast



fashion
Magazines, my fashion bibles.



words
A tool with which to create all words (and make some up)



city
Taken in the City of London, St Paul's Catherdral

  6. A great set of photos, french fancies are very popular it seems, I'm not so keen and last time I looked the pink ones were not veggie friendly anyway. I like the sound of that alarm clock - I am just terrible in the mornings, I wonder if it would help!

  8. Thanks for the heads up on the Lumie alarm clock!!! I was originally going to take a photo of my alarm clock for my morning one but I kept forgetting! I adore your photos especially the button one! I can't resist them either! The buttons I took a photo of this month were a stash I bought when I went to Bali last! Yep, normal folk buy sarongs and batik items, I buy buttons!!

    I have been doing the Photo A Day Challenge, but I might swop to these scavengers hunts - frankly a photo a day is too many to collate every month!
