Scavenger Hunt ~ February 2012

I've had to wait until the last minute to post this, because I needed something for 'Leap Year'. 
Talk about cutting it fine!


 5  ~ a restaurant in Bath
 Food - sadly not real, it was in the kitchen on the SS Great Britain
 Black and white - also on board the SS Great Britain in Bristol.
 In the sky ... a bicycle dangling above a houseboat in Bristol
 A train .... two in fact. A carriage from the city's old Overhead Railway, and below is the Lion locomotive from the Liverpool to Manchester railway dating from 1837.
 Music .... Snow Patrol play Liverpool's Echo Arena. A wonderful night!!!

 Love ... displayed in the window of the Jane Austen Centre in Bath
 Empty .... Mr. B. standing in the vast Tithe Barn in Bradford on Avon

Heritage ~ the SS Great Britain itself.

So far, so good .... here's where it all falls apart ....

Cupid ~ Couldn't find Cupid anywhere, so this little cherub is the closest I got! Well, he's got wings I suppose !!!!

 Crowded .... I  completely forgot this one on the list .... so I've just grabbed a Crowded House CD.
And, finally, Leap Year ... thank you to The Times today for coming up trumps today with a little article about Leap Year traditions!

Well done to all of you have posted already ..... some fantastic shots out there!

Look out for March's list tomorrow!

  10. I am so pleased I found your scavenger hunt on a blog last month and played along this time.....I failed with Cupid I thought he might have been easy to find with Valentines Day....but perhaps he has gone to ground! Loved your "in the sky".....looking forward to the March list.

  13. I think you have taken some great photos - the bike in the sky was a great find also the empty barn and I love your photos of the SS Great Britain. You set us a great challenge for February - I wonder what we'll be searching for in March?:)
