1) Sandpaper.
2) Hot chocolate in a blue mug.
3) A boy named Percival.
4) Sheep running.
5) Three ladies in green.
6) Charlton Athletic Football Club.
7) An onion.
8) Lester Piggott.
9) A penguin in a bowler hat.
10) This list.
11) Pinot Grigio.
12) Chirk Town Hall.
13) A friend of yours.
14) Someone who is not your friend.
15) A purple highlighter.
16) Venetian blinds.
17) A fish with no eyes.
18) An old man watching "Toy Story".
19) Daisies.
20) Papadums.
21) Serendipity.
22) Flowers.
23) Fennel.
24) Bean-bags.
25) A short, 43-year-old man, and his tall cousin, playing drinking martinis and playing badminton on a beach in the north of Spain.

Now come back to me when you've done all these things. OK?

this'll take awhile. #10 is the easiest...
January 19th, 2012
Ok, I've done 13, 14 and 25 already and just done 10. I'll be back when i've got the other 21 shots...
January 19th, 2012
I did these last week, before I died. But then I got better. Do I have to do them again? If I don't, will I live forever? I need to know!

@manek43509 I live in America, we have no one named Percival and our Football is different, but I have a picture of the field.
January 20th, 2012
@manek43509 - I just finished a WHOLE bottle of Pinot Grigio all on my own. Does that count for at least HALF of that list?
January 20th, 2012
Haha! I might see what I can get off this list... I'll save a copy for when I'm struggling for ideas and find something here. Hahaha!x

@brumbe
Then you'll have to travel to London (where CAFC is based). And to Chirk, which is near Wrexham. C'mon - you don't want to be a REAL PHOTOGRAPHER, don't you?! :P

@rich57
Well, of course you've done 25 - that's the easiest one!

@jinximages
Completing the entire list guarantees reincarnation.

@sdpace
I'm pretty sure 10 is the hardest... ;)
January 20th, 2012
yeah we've all got hundreds of those shots, like water drop , book ring and full moon shot!
January 20th, 2012
@manek43509 Win! :D
January 20th, 2012

January 20th, 2012

January 20th, 2012
Kit, I did master Daisies this week, so I will move onto Fennel next
January 20th, 2012
I love a good scavenger hunt. And I'm off.... should be back again with these in the next year or so.
January 20th, 2012
Hahaha! Cool llist!

Does this count for #21? :)

January 20th, 2012
@sdpace Lol! Now THAT is talent!
January 20th, 2012
@sdpace Baahahahaha!!!!!! Nice :) BAM!
January 20th, 2012
if i shoot a chardonnay, will that count for number 11? (and like, would you even know if i didn't tell ya? no - don't answer that...) not that it matters, 'cos there just isnt' any way possible i could ever meet someone named percival... so clearly i'm doomed! ;p
January 20th, 2012

January 20th, 2012

@manek43509 That is quite the list. I am thinking I might have to die and come back in another lifetime to get some of these
January 20th, 2012
I like the challenge @manek43509! I will have to try out this list!!
January 20th, 2012
Who's Lester Piggot?
January 20th, 2012
Definitely saving this list and attempting to do it throughout the rest of my life. Love it!
January 20th, 2012
My Dad played for Charlton Athletic, is a shot of him now in retirement ok?

And you forgot frogs. frogs are a winner. @manek43509

@bobfoto
Did he? Yes, that would do!
One of only two football matches I've ever been to see "live" was watching Norwich lose to Charlton at home, the year they (Charlton) won Division One. (Before it was called The Championship.)

January 20th, 2012
I was working on number 11, but got drunk, fell asleep and had a dream about 3, 5, 17 & 25
January 21st, 2012
