Scavenger Hunt - Strike a Pose, Footwear, Hobby, Shiny & Colour me Green

 This week has been quite crazy, I didn't even know if I would do SHS heading into the weekend, but with some stretching I've managed it. 

1. Strike a Pose
We went to the Botanical Gardens yesterday and I went looking for dragonflies, this one struck a pose, then flew away. 
Edit: Yes, this is actually a damselfly, a Common Bluetail Damselfly to be precise, as I said it's been a crazy week and the old brain isn't working very well. :-)

2. Footwear
I love this vintage t-shirt of my son's, it has really cool footwear on it, unfortunately he's growing out of it. But I love the boy inside even more, picking flowers for mummy here!

3. Hobby
I got into cross stitch before I had my son, but since he's been born I just haven't had time. 

4. Shiny
 I put some shiny Christmas baubles inside my birds nest.

5. Colour Me Green
I got this watercolour splatter idea from Rosie at Leavesnbloom Studio. I used Watercolour Splatters Photoshop brushes.


Can't wait to see everyone's interpretations

Such beautiful shots - I especially love the 'footwear' shot - looks like a gorgeous t-shirt! Isn't it sad when they grow out of somethings that we the Mummies love so much!! :)
