Hello all and firstly thanks to all who commented on my photos last month . This one I found a little more taxing ,probably owing to the fact I left it until the last minute hmmmm yesterday to be exact.
So here goes :-
1.CRANE.
A representation of the type of cranes that were used in the quarries ,the quarrying of Portland Stone that was very much used in buildings in London.
2.RING.
One of the 5 Olympic rings that were erected to mark the home of Olympic sailing held here in 2012.Made from Portland Stone.
3.SET..
A set of measuring spoons that I use most days,
4.LIGHT.
The Lighthouse at Portland Bill, I am sure this light has warned many unwary sailors.
5.BOW.
Sorry not very clear. These cottages were close to what the locals call Bow and Arrow Castle , really Rufus Castle which was built in the 15c but is now a ruin. I will cheat a bit and show you a pic of it as you can see the slits where they would have fired the bows from.
6.SPRING
A frog on a spring , in our garden hope it makes you smile.
7.OPEN.
As you can see in the background the Portland Museum is thatched.
8.GRAND.
Pennsylvania Castle , once owned by William Penn, I used to do the flowers here when it was privately owned . The hall had a very large circular table and we had to make a very large arrangement to go on it . Those were the days. Now it is owned by a holiday company who hire it out for corporate events, It is rather grand.
9.PARK.
Not a very inspiring photo but it does feature the right word.
10. MY OWN CHOICE.
I just loved this cricket at my feet. ,mind you I would not want to encounter one that big lol.
So there you have my Julys choice now off to find how others have interpreted the words.
If you want to have a look too then pop along and see.

Clever you! Most of your images have the theme of Portland running through - excellent. My favourite? It has to be the sign for 'Bow & Arrow' brilliant! followed swiftly by the stone cricket at your feet - lovely selection this month Barb -nice one :) xxx
What a lovely selection of pictures. I love the Portland stone ring and the lovely stone cricket is my favourite.
Great pics. Loving the lighthouse at Portland Bill.Do have a soft spot for lighthouses. And the frog on a spring does make me smile.:)
Great! I giggled at your little froggie on the spring. Ever so cute & what we can do with springs is up to our imagination. Love your ring photo & thanks for a glimpse of around Portland, somewhere I've not visited in UK. Maybe next time we come, as it looks lovely & interesting. Take care.
A great collection! I love the cricket and you found a good photo for ring. My favourite has to be the lighthouse! I used to love the Portland Bill stories as a child and my parents took us to that lighthouse - there's a photo in their living of my sister and I sat by that very lighthouse with ice creams (and ice cream all over our faces!). I'd love to revisit now! Thanks for the little trip down memory lane :)
You may have left it to the last minute but you have a great selection of pics and I have enjoyed all of them.

It's a great view from the lighthouse, must come back and see more of your lovely area xx
Great interpretation of the subject matter in photos. The frog made me smile:) and I didn't realize that William Penn left a very fancy estate to come to the US. Never thought of a Quaker as wealthy...I have to read more about him now.
Love the old castle photo too as we don't have building with that kind of age here, they always fascinate me. Have a great weekend. Mary
I can relate to all of your photos. Lovely selection and so hard to choose a favourite one. But I have selected Crane, closely followed by Ring. I've never visited Portland Bill as it is so far away but it sounds lovely. The Portland Museum is interesting.
What a great post love the photos .
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
A good selection of photos. It's interesting to see how you interpret the words.
Great photos Barb
I am thrilled with the picture of the castle where William Penn once lived. I am originally from Pennsylvania (which means Penns Woods). To think you were working at the castle while I was living in Pa. Something more we have in common.
The remaining pics are also great. I personally like the spring frog and the cricket. Love seeing your pictures.
Hugs
Lovely photo's x

A great set of photo's. How amazing that several of the scavenger hunt participants have springs like your frog one in their gardens! I must get hold of one and make a sculpture!
Fun photos, I love the cricket!
Great photos, I like the way you have interpreted each prompt word.
Wonderful photos Barb x
