Having said all that, I am excited to show my first photo, taken specifically for the scavenger hunt, for item #7 on the list of prompts:
7. Horse
Wrought Iron Horses (taken 12/1/18) |
Several of the houses I pass on my walks have short walls and/or fences along the front gardens. According to our city's zoning and building codes, solid walls along the front gardens in single family residential areas can't exceed 3 feet in height, so many of the houses have short solid walls of cinder blocks, mounted with wrought iron or steel fencing. Some of these fences have decorative panels and this particular fence had these horses (and others like them) spaced every few feet along the length of the fence.
Is anyone else doing the scavenger hunt?
I'm not participating, but if I did I know where to find two huge statues of horses! There's a house nearby with two statues as gate pillars and I think each one is about 6 ft high. :)
ReplyDeleteNil, that reminds me that there is a house a few blocks away, in the other direction, which had a statue of two horses in their front yard! They've grown some shrubs along their front wall, so the statue isn't as visible as it used to be, though.
DeleteI'm not doing the scavenger hunt, but it sounds like something I would like. I should check into it, but I don't have time right now. So keep posting, and maybe I'll remember. BTW, a great picture of horses. That's some fancy fence.
ReplyDeleteLive and Learn, you do have until the end of March, so maybe you can participate later? Or, maybe there will be other scavenger hunts - Spring, Summer, etc.
DeleteThank you; I wondered if I'd have to go to the equestrian center or to those parts in the city where there are equestrian trails to get a photo of a horse, but, then, saw this fence!
There's a summer hunt as well.
DeleteThank you, Eileen.
DeleteThat is so cool! I have never done anything like this.
ReplyDeleteI haven't, either, Anne. This is my first time! :)
DeleteI won't be doing the scavenger hunt but I love your first photo and I am looking forward to seeing future ones!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. I've a couple of possibilities for one or two of the other prompts, too, but haven't taken the photos, yet.
DeleteNice photo! I am doing the scavenger hunt. I was out and about today and took several photos (as usual lol). I just have to get them together and post them. I think I managed - flight and a crossing place.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Sharon. I am looking forward to seeing your photos. You always take such lovely photos.
DeleteA great start to the hunt Bless. You're one of the first to post photos this time. I look forward to seeing what else you find.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Thank you, too, for encouraging me to join. I'm enjoying it. :)
DeleteThat looks like fun! I like the horse picture:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky. I was a bit hesitant, at first - I just have my cell phone camera and I am by no means a photographer - by Eileen encouraged me and now, I am all excited about doing something new and fun! :)
DeleteThis looks like so much fun and I love your first entry. It will make going out for your daily walks far more interesting for you, as you are looking out for specific subjects.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. It is fun! I keep looking at things and wondering if it would fit one of the prompts! :D
