Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt 2013: Tilting at windmills

Hi again.
[If you want to play along with the Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt then make sure to visit Rinda over at Gallo Organico for all the details.]

So ... I've got another item to cross off my list  ... but I'm pretty sure you're going to accuse me of cheating.

And yet ... here it is anyway ... [I'm a rebel like that.]

Item No.16: A windmill

This is the label inside my gorgeously soft black leather bag [the kind of bag of simplistic-perfection I'd been seeking for a long time!] and, while it may not immediately seem connected to summertime life ... I promise you it is.

During the summer I work from home and my days are as flexible as my deadlines and self-discipline will allow. And on some of those days - although far fewer than you might imagine - I take myself out on a little shopping trip. The kind that doesn't involve bread, milk and toilet roll.

And so, after doing a spot of invoicing over breakfast ... I decided I'd worked hard enough over the previous week that a new dress might just be in order. So out I went. Which is what I was doing when I realised that I actually didn't need to go hunting out that windmill ... and that I had one with me all along.

[I know... it's like the ruby slippers of the bag world!]

I was in my car, leaning over into the passenger seat, rummaging in my bag to check I'd put my phone in there, when I spotted it:

Note how I'd packed the essentials of a British summer in there ... with my flowery rain mac nestling against my sunglasses!

And on the outside of the bag ... another windmill for good measure:

So that's my case for adding this windmill logo to my list of summertime treasures found! I know it's not a 'real' one ... but then neither were the giants that Don Quixote thought he'd found when he spotted windmills in the distance!

 

Needless to say ... if I find a 'real' one [a real windmill that is ... not a real giant ... ] I'll snap that too.

p.s: If you're a Month-in-Numbers blogger/doer/sharer [hey, we need to work on a better title for us all than that one ...] then just a reminder that we're getting to that time.

• My numbers will be here on Sunday ...
• ... but you're welcome to join me anytime afterwards.
• And if you fancy joining in but haven't been counting anything all month - don't let that stop you ... just flip through the photos you've taken or your diary / blog / Twitter feed / Facebook timeline / Instagram  ... anywhere you keep a record of your days ... and just pick out some facts and figures from there. Sorted!
