WPSH - Final Selections

Eileen at A Bracelet of Days hosted the Winter Photo Scavenger Hunt, which ran from December 1 to March 31.  There was a list of 20 items and 3 alternatives to find.  These are my final selections for this scavenger hunt (some of which have already appeared in the WPSH 1st link up and some which did double duty and appeared in the March Monthly Photo Challenge, as well).

#1 Seeing Faces Everywhere: I struggled with this prompt, which surprised me because I am someone who often sees faces when I look at various things. 

#1 Seeing Faces Everywhere: Sri Lankan Demon Masks

#2 An Essential Item:  We get two for the price of one, here!  My eye glasses resting on top of my laptop which is fast becoming an essential item!

#9 Wildlife:  Urban wildlife in my garden!  One of the visiting raccoons.

#10 Winter Berries:  I was unable to find any ripe berries to photograph, so, these still green baby blueberries will have to do:

#10 Winter Berries: Baby Blueberries 

#11 Hand or Foot:  I took a couple of photos for this prompt, including the hands on the clock and my hand, but, this photo of a foot was my final choice; just look at those impressive claws!

#11 Hand or Foot:  How About a Hind Paw?

#12 This Season:  Winter and Christmas

#13 Point/Pointed:  I guess I could have gone with the upside down arrows for this, but, how could I resist these pointy ears?

#14 Keeping Warm:  Dancer says the best way to keep warm is to take a nap in the sunshine in front of the heater!

#15 The Oldest Thing You Own:  This carved wooden elephant is supposed to have come from my father's childhood home and he is supposed to have sat on it as a child.  I don't know how true that is, but, the poor elephant is certainly old and battered, having lost his tail and one of his tusks (the other tusk fell out, but, I have it and keep meaning to glue it back in) and the lacquered finish peeling off.

#15 The Oldest Thing You Own: My Father's Elephant

#16 Signs of Spring:  Spring flowering bulbs (paperwhites) and peach blossoms (I really couldn't decide on just one).

 

#16 Signs of Spring 1: Paperwhites

#16 Signs of Spring 2: Peach Blossoms

#17 Tree Bark:  I had taken at least four pictures of tree bark from four different trees, but, the eucalyptus tree is my final selection.

 #19 Something Red: I selected the red rose with the raindrops.
