GOODBYE SUMMER!

Today, summer is truly over!.......'the girls' leave tonight; the last of the Summer Visitors.....we have had a week of eating too much, drinking too much and laughing till we cried!



In the last  half hour, even the sun has gone away(though I'm quite certain that will return!)...as if it knows the 'summer season' is ending.

It's also the last day of the SUMMER SCAVENGER HUNT, organised by our friend RINDA; the list she reamed up this year was as follows:

1. Open air market
2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater)
3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building
4. Airplane
5. A sunset
6. Someone or something taking a nap
7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny
8. A tower
9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn't belong

10. A bench that is outside
11. An animal in a zoo, aquarium, nature preserve, etc.
12. A cloud in the shape of something (please specify what you see)
13. A fence
14. A stained glass object or a mosaic
15. A fire truck or police car

16. A windmill 
17. Candle(s)
18. Your local pub/bar, coffee house or tea shop
19. A fisherman
20. A dinosaur
21. A photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply (you cannot substitute for this item)



....and I managed to get all 21 items onto three collages (courtesy of Picmonkey)






To see interpretations of the list from all around the globe, pop over HERE.

So it's thanks again to Rinda for a fun summer and to 'the girls' for a fantastic week, rounding it all off...bring on Autumn!!

Hope you are all having a good weekend...and I really do hope to catch up with all my blog reading in the next few days!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
