2020 Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt

Once again I have been taking part in the Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt which Mary-Lou of Patio Postcards has devised. I think this is the eighth year I have taken part in the scavenger hunt and have to admit this year I found it hard to find interesting things to photograph. Not having our usual two week holiday meant I had to find the majority of items closer to home but, I did managed to find everything on the list.

    My daughter's favourite bracelets

2. Something with or in a knot

    Knotted string on a scrapbook layout
