1000 words. Photos on GN.

They say a picture paints a thousand words and there have been some lovely photos on GN recently. I am a visual person and, especially at this time, pictures cheer me up. Autumn scenes, people's gardens, cake baking, craftwork, pets, clothes we fancy buying etc. Even stock images of Boris, royalty etc.
What is the general feeling? Are they superfluous or do they add another dimension? Are we "allowed" to just drop them into a non photographic thread?

Don't mention 5 bird roast as you pass those geese Kate.
Very tranquil.

Geese on my walk today.

What a diverse and wonderful lot of photos since we started out! We’ll soon be hitting the thousand posts mark!

Greyduster Thu 26-Nov-20 14:16:22

Fabulous! Corner you did better with spiders webs than I’ve managed to do!

FannyCornforth Thu 26-Nov-20 13:54:51

Nam's- did you make that deer?

Namsnanny Thu 26-Nov-20 12:54:28

Brilliant Elliannegrin

How about this one?
If you can make it out!

Namsnanny Thu 26-Nov-20 12:49:31

Great minds cornergran smile only my rose is minus co webs, and plus rain drops! I dont think they can be seen easily though.

Ellianne Thu 26-Nov-20 12:12:50

I've made a quick contribution.

Ellianne Thu 26-Nov-20 12:12:05

Your deer photos are all lovely.

Since we’re talking deer, here’s one taken earlier this year at Harewood House. I did wonder where they were all headed?

Greyduster Thu 26-Nov-20 11:01:31

I do remember two getting properly locked together River. They had to shoot them.
Here is a photo of deer we took at Wentworth Castle which is local to us.

Riverwalk thankfully the park is big enough to avoid the deer. We only saw them at a distance. Some people are just plain stupid though.

Not sure how well you can see these, lovely spiders webs after the frost this morning.

That was 1964, fevertree. Then we moved up to Mill Hill where there were no stags, but I once woke up in my ground floor room to find a donkey staring in at me through the window. It had escaped from a stables down the road!

The deer cull is on at the moment in Richmond Park - I'd keep away! They apparently sense something is going on and can be even more unpredictable.

fevertree Thu 26-Nov-20 10:32:17

Gosh greyduster when was that? smile The stag were (literally) locking horns yesterday. I ran away!

Thanks for the tree info.

That must have been such a hassle, Greyduster shock - but would have made a good picture!

Greyduster Thu 26-Nov-20 08:17:56

Fevertree we used to occupy a barracks in Richmond Park - hopefully pulled down now, as it was a horrible eyesore - and deer would sometimes be seen dashing off with our washing tangled in their antlers!!

Greyduster Thu 26-Nov-20 08:12:20

My DD has one of these in her garden. I think it’s called a Tibetan cherry. The bark peels and curls in strips and it looks gorgeous when the sun is on it.

fevertree Thu 26-Nov-20 08:05:58

Anyone know what this gorgeous tree is? The bark looks like silk ribbon. Walking in Richmond Park on a mild day earlier this week.

It’s actually wrong to post pictures of grandchildren without the parents permission. I work with children and we would be legally pulled over doing this.

I took these yesterday on my walk the little hedgehog was toodling along the bottom of a hedgerow and the Red Kite soaring over the golf course, loving all your lovely pics of London where I've lived all my life.

Sunset in the woods last night, just to get the thread back on track
