Scavenger Hunt for March 2016

My thanks to Suzzie ('greenthumb')
for choosing the words shown in blue on my post

and preparing the March Scavenger Hunt.

Local

We sometimes see this delightful character 

as she is often found grazing in one of our favourite local haunts.

City

We spent Easter in Salisbury,

and walked around the Cathedral Cloisters.

You can see the spire in the stained glass. 

The poet, George Herbert, lived just outside the city,

close to Wilton and to Old Sarum in a village called Bemerton. 

This stained glass window is in Bemerton Church.

What fine oak leaf and acorn decoration.

Stripes

These are perhaps flutes rather than stripes!

I love the crinkly-crankly lines along the edge.

We saw this shell on the beach at Cley-next-the-Sea last weekend.  

 

Crisp

We always enjoy seeing this wind pump 

at NT Wicken Fen, not far from Ely.  

The crisp lines and criss-crosses of the sails

always look wonderful against the wide skies of East Anglia.

Street art

 Not technically 'street art', 

but we try to keep an eye out

for cute or unusual signs on the road.

I have seen a flying pig sign not far from home ...

Tiles

This Robin spent a large part of the day

perched on the fence, in front of the tiles. 

Most of the time she had bits of twig and leaf in her bill,

so we hope there will soon be chicks.

RocksStairs

I could not find the photo I had in mind

of real stone stairs,

so this is a view of wooden steps

 - rather impressive ones -

at Tintagel.

Hair

One of our 'regulars'

enjoying a Good Hair Day!

Measure

'Measure for Measure'

or perhaps

the heart of love ...

Swans at Thorpeness,

displaying in front of the 

House in the Clouds.   

Large

I couldn't resist posting

one of Swansea's iconic buildings,

perched above the sea in Mumbles.

For one

Des res ...

an English duck's home is her castle,

in the grounds of Hedingham Castle. 

I was thrilled to see clumps of Coltsfoot on the bank. 

Landscape

Spring in Suffolk 

Twin lambs at NT Ickworth.
