Eileen is hosting the Winter Photo Scavenger Hunt (WPSH), which runs from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024. It is time to post the first set of photos for the first link up!
These are the photos I've taken so far; the full list of prompts is at the end of the post.
3. Entwined - I took a couple of photos for this prompt of vines entwined around each other and other plants:

| Star Jasmine Vine Entwined Around Itself |
But, ultimately, nothing says "entwined" more than the stems of my old rosemary bush, wouldn't you agree?

5. Bent wire - One of several pieces of bent wire on my chain link gate:

13. A cloud formation - After several days of rain, we had a sunny day with puffy white clouds (and then, it started to rain, again!)

Or, maybe that should be "Whiskers on Kitties" as we are not exactly a kitten, anymore!

I'm a kitten at heart." |
Thank you for hosting the WPSH, Eileen.

These are all very good. The entwined ones are excellent selections. And also, Dancer fits right in! I couldn't comment on your last post, blogger denied me permission! I was going to say how cute the calico visitor is. I hope she has a home nearby and was only out investigating the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. I'm sorry you were denied permission to comment on the previous post! How rude of blogger! I, too, hope that the calico cat has a proper home and is just visiting ; I really don't want another cat! But, I feel sorry for it, too, and don't want to be without giving it some food!
DeleteLove that Sound of Music Song and Dancer's Whiskers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. :)
DeleteBeautiful photos! I love the entwined rosemary and the cloud pictures. My favorites are the whiskers on kitten photographs. 🥰
ReplyDeleteThank you, Taconix. :)
DeleteA lovely set of photos. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteLovely photos Bless. Two favourites for me, your rosemary stems and whiskers on kitties :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. :) Hope you are participating in the WPSH, yourself. :)
DeleteEntwined - definitely the rosemary. I love the way you zero in on the bent wire photo. The clouds are spectacular, and who could resist whiskers on kitties? I'm trying to ignore the hash browns! 😛
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. I have a copper kettle, too (although it needs a good polishing to make it shiny and bright), but, I knew I had to go with whiskers on kitties! :D Hash browns? What hash browns? You didn't see any hash browns! :D
DeleteGreat start! My faves are something living, clouds and whiskers. Your hash browns are quite different from what we would call hash browns, which are more like potato cakes made from grated potatoes. I'd struggle to decide on my favourite method of cooking potatoes ... your bowlful would definitely have gone down well!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ella. We have that kind of hash browns, here, too. Sometimes, they are known as shredded potatoes. My daughter likes the hash browns made with shredded potatoes; I prefer the diced potatoes. There are many tasty ways of cooking potatoes, aren't there? And all are delicious!
DeleteI'm not sure what I would choose for the potato one - I generally like potatoes in all their forms!! Definitely whiskers on kittens though!
ReplyDeleteThank you, FD. :) I, too, like potatoes in various forms. At first, I thought of taking a photo of my copper kettle, but, then, I decided that it had to be whiskers on kitties! :D
DeleteLove FD xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, FD. :)
DeleteYou have a great start to the WPSH. I like your whiskers photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary-Lou. Had to have a photo of Dancer in there!
DeleteSome great photographs, Bless. Especially the whiskers :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules; Dancer was happy to oblige! :D
DeleteLol - Good prompt for Dancer's appearance this time around.
ReplyDeleteI love those roots on your rosemary :)
Thank you, Debra; yes, it couldn't be anything else other than Dancer's whiskers for that prompt! I thought you'd like the rosemary picture; I know you like how those stems twist around!
DeleteNot roots - trunk - you know what I mean ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes, I know what you mean. :)
