About That Ex-Nun's Favourite Things

This group aims to find the ultimate photographic representations of the objects listed in the Rodgers and Hammerstein song 'My Favourite Things'.

Please help me to search Flickr for the necessary items, and invite the image-makers to post their pictures here.

Acceptable subjects are as follows:

Raindrops on roses
Whiskers on kittens (with the emphasis on 'whiskers')
Bright copper kettles
Warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
Cream-coloured ponies
Warm apple strudel
Doorbells
Sleighbells
Schnitzel with noodles (although Admin has know idea what 'Schnitzel' is, so you could probably get away with anything)
White geese that fly with the moon on their wings (yeah, it's a bit specific)
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring

Plus, of course, the evil, karma-destroying forces of pure malevolence that are:

Dogs biting
Bees stinging

Please note that your and my opinions of the required subjects is irrelevant. I'm not really a big fan of cream-coloured ponies, if I'm quite honest (although like many young men, I dabbled a bit in my youth). If it isn't a favourite of the semi-fictionalised convent-fleeing governess, then it is surplus to requirements.

We'll also accept any candidly taken photographs of Julie Andrews, maybe taken with a telephoto lens, or through other surreptitious means. I'm not unreservedly advocating spying, stalking, or invasion of privacy, but hope you'll use your initiative. If anyone can provide hard photographic evidence of Julie gazing at a bright copper kettle with a happy, glazed expression, I will certainly tag it as a personal favourite.

When the project is complete, and the best examples of each object have been gathered together, this link will be forwarded to Dame Julie, so she can make those cold Monday mornings more tolerable, or just any time she's generally feeling a bit fed up.
