Saturday PhotoHunt - Garbage.

The theme this week is
GARBAGE.
That's something I try to avoid when taking photos, and I've searched my files (unsuccessfully) for something containing garbage of any kind.
Not to be deterred, off I went to WordWeb Online. They tell me that garbage is food waste or scraps, as from a kitchen.
Now that I can do!
Here's my garbage - fruit peelings and coffee grounds waiting to go out to the compost bin.

TNChick has some very sweet garbage on show today, and there will be much more to be found through the links on her site.
Please keep her and her family in your thoughts, as her husband is to have major surgery on Monday.

ABC Wednesday - Y.

We're very nearly at the end of the alphabet again. Just one more week to go, and Denise has asked if we want to carry on. My answer is a huge
YES!
This week the letter is
Y.

This is my son on his motorbike, wearing a high-visibility YELLOW waistcoat/vest. He's waiting at the end of our road, at the sign that once - before part of the Y fell off - said YIELD.

Here he has parked so that he can take photos.

YES,
the motorbike is a
YAMAHA.

This is part of the graveyard wall beside the Old Chapel. The trees are Irish YEW (Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata'). I've been told that, in this case, the yellow tree is male and the dark green is female.

More Y posts can be found through the ABC Wednesday page.
Maybe you'll feel like joining in with Round 5.

Monochrome Monday.

The Monochrome Weekly Theme is hosted by Aileni.

Find many more entries, and a great selection from last week, on the dedicated page.

Saturday PhotoHunt - Pink.

This Dianthus, or
PINK
appeared recently in what I thought was an empty tub. It flowered a few days ago, and there's another bud growing. It's a beautiful glowing colour, and the edges of the petals are serrated, or
PINKed!

You'll find a lot more contributions over with our hostess TNChick.

Happy Hunting!

ABC Wednesday - X.

Today's letter is the letter

I've found this to be Xtremely difficult!
I've been unable to find anything in Dungloe with a name starting with X.
The best I can do is show you some markings in a car park,

and the boX junction in Main Street.

Also, in my own back garden, there's the green trellis on the yellow fence - complete with foXgloves!

I think I've stretched the theme far enough this week, so I'd better stop there.

Saturday PhotoHunt - Flags.

I've had such a busy time! Yesterday evening, and all day today so far, I've been transferring files from my old computer to a new one. It's been a traumatic experience, and it's not quite over yet. There's not very much left though - just my bookmarks to move over and then it will all be done. I know it's all worth while, and this new computer will have so much more speed and capacity, but I do so hate change!

Anyway, here at last is my PhotoHunt entry for the week.
The subject is FLAGS.
This photo is of the wild iris, or yellow FLAG, which grows in damp places. It's a bit past its best now, but still bright and sunny.

For more flags, visit our hostess TNChick.

Happy Hunting!

ABC Wednesday, Round 4 - W.

I'm so sorry! I'm very late posting, but this time it's not my fault - in fact, I thought I might not be able to post until tomorrow at the earliest!
You see, we've had very WET weather, with thunderstorms and localised flooding. Our internet connection seems to have been WASHED away. Twenty-four hours without the WWW - the WITHDRAWAL symptoms have been severe!

Anyway, here I am at last with my W post.

W

is for
WATER over the WEIR.

And for a
WALL WRAPPED in WIRE.

And a photo from last November of starlings
WAITING on WIRES.

Denise Nesbitt started the fun, and more participants can be found on the ABC page.

Saturday PhotoHunt - Creamy.

Today's theme is CREAMY.
I had no idea what to do, until I saw this cleaner on my kitchen work-surface.
That looks creamy.

TNChick hosts this fun weekly event. Visit her for many more takes on the theme.
Happy Hunting!
