In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge (from a long time ago, trying to get back into the swing of things so picking up a few of the previous challenges):

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/eye-spy/

So ‘Eye Spy’ as a theme. Open to a certain amount interpretation. Amongst otherthings I could base it around eyes, or perhaps just things that stand out – but then that’s simply photography really.

There could have been several other interpretations but I decided to go a little more obvious. A game of eye spy running through the whole alphabet – so this will be a long one, but mostly photos. There will be some letters with more than one photo, but I have used every letter at least once and every one has been used properly.

I hope you enjoy, here we go.

Eye spy with my little eye, something beginning with:

A – the A1

B – Barn Owl (taken at The Raptor Foundation)…

…or bridge (this is the Forth Rail Bridge)

C – Castle (this is Bolsover Castle in the mist)…

…or Cathedral (this is Bristol Cathedral)

D – de Havilland Dragon Rapide (taken at The Shuttle Worth Collection during the Military Pageant 2015)

E – Eyes, they are even eagle eyes (taken on a day at The Raptor Foundation)

F – Fountain (this is the Perseus and Andromeda fountain at Witley Court)

G – Grim Reaper (a manipulation of the effigy of Death on Sophie Charlotte’s sarcophagus)

H – Heron (seen when walking on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh)

I – Iguana (resident at the Exotic Pet Refuge)

J – Joust, huzzah!

K – Kaleidoscope (this one is at the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh)

L – Leopard (this one is an Amur Leopard resident at Edinburgh Zoo)…

or Lyvedon New Bield (that’s me with the family – the camera was sat on top of the camera bag on a timer for this shot)

M – Meerkat (another resident at Edinburgh Zoo)

N – Nene Valley Railway

O – Octopus Kite (yes, an octopus kite, and not a Dementor, at the Dunstable Downs Kite Festival

P – Peacock

Q – Quidditch (I kid you not, this owl’s name is Quidditch – one of its parents was in the Harry Potter Films, another resident at The Raptor Foundation)

R – Roses

S – Snow (This was a view from Edinburgh Castle)

T – Trebuchet (this is at Warwick Castle

U – Urban areas (this is the view over Edinburgh from Arthur’s Seat)

V – Vulcan

W – Weapons display (in Warwick Castle)

X – Xanthic (yellow) flower (a lily and a daffodil)

Y – Yak 50s (displaying at The Military Pageant at The Shuttle Worth Collection)

Z – Zebras (at West Midland Safari Park)

That brings us to the end of this rather long game of Eye Spy. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I have enjoyed going through some old photos to find them all.

Any comments welcome.
