January Scavenger Hunt

I can't believe the level of interest that has been shown in this little venture. 
I just started it up to give me a bit of focus for taking photographs during the winter, and I thought one or two other bloggers might like to join in. Nearly one month after that first post people are still asking if they can do it too.

The answer is YES of course you can!!!!

If you click on the link on my side bar it should take you to a Flickr group where you can post your photos for January. I've just put mine on, only eleven at the moment 'cos I'm stuck on one!
There's also a page at the top of my blog which has a 'linky' ... where you can add your photos for one week starting from January 30th. You should be able to put this 'linky' on your own blog so you'll have everyone's photos too.

If you don't want to do either of these, just do a post and show your photos there .... plenty of people will see them whichever way you choose!

Now, this is the first time I've ever attempted to do something like this, and it all sounds a bit technical to me, so I've got my fingers crossed
(and everything else crossed too!)

If it all works, I'll post the list for February very soon!

  1. Oh off to see what pics people have added. I need to sort myself out with a Flickr account - its on my to do list - until then I shall be a viewer rather than taking part.

  3. Thanks for doing this Kathy, I'm so glad that so many people are joining in. I have 3 more photos to try and take before the end of the week. I haven't got Flickr as I use Picasa but will have a go with the 'linky' at the weekend I'll put the photos on my blog too:)

  9. i really want to try the 365 days one, but am not really sure what i am supposed to do apart from taking photographs daily. also i don't seem to manage taking them every day, is is it ok to miss a day and catch up the next?
    i have very much enjoyed your posts and your enthusiasm is infectuous, i do so want to join in. i have taken quite a few photos recently and put them on my blog, but am not sure that they are worthy of the challenge.

    many thanks for all your inspiration

    wishig you a happy tuesday xxx

    I guess the first month will be the hardest!

  12. I'm having loads of fun getting these snaps . Thank you. Just a thought though if you are not too busy , is it possible to put a list somewhere of the people taking part as I'd love to see the other pics and make more bloggy friends in the process?

  16. Thanks Kathy - I finished my twelve on a very grey & cold afternoon today! I'll try to add to the linky & look out for all the other scavengers. Thank you so much for organising it - great fun !

  17. I'd love to join in....found your blog via Thimblanna. Busy snapping and even my daughters are taking photos! Just a couple of questions - I assume you have to take the photos during the month mentioned and is there any date they need to be posted by....just the end of the month? Thanks for organising
