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?

I now have Loo Envy too!
I like Ellianne's idea of a 'Loo Visit'.
After the pandemic (whenever) and the shops are full of toilet rolls again this would be a wonderful way to make new friends. We'll join up and advertise open house on ?day the ?th of ?month from 3.30 - 4.30 at ?? address. smile all welcome. Bring cake or a bottle!
Next week at someone else's.

(Well maybe not, but I'd love to visit some of these loos and it seems I'm not alone)

The leaves have only just fallen from the trees, but I'm yearning for my Springtime walk in the bluebell woods. I really don't like "the dark days before Christmas".

I think I’ll be taking a peek of that lovely loo every time I pop into this thread ?

When this covid is all over perhaps those GNs who like it could book visits to the loo!

Elliannne that sounds like a plan

3) *If Henrietta does the Funky Chicken, I'm off''*

Very amusing namsnanny .?

Namsnanny Wed 04-Nov-20 21:34:12

Couldn't resist it! grin
I spotted these lovelies out in the road. I tried to usher them back behind the fence, but not before I took a few snaps.

minimoon thats a beautiful scene. The slope shows the bluebells off well.
I've found it hard to get a good photo of bluebells. The light has to be right or it bleaches them I find.

Every chicken has a right to cross the road, Namsnanny. We do wonder why, though!?. Great photos and commentary!

Namsnanny Thu 05-Nov-20 11:02:21

They certainly do Greyduster grin.
I'm enjoying your sublime photos!

Well. I am sure none of the posters on here realise just what a gem it is for me. My alzheimer support worker went through it with me yesterday and used so many of the photos as memory prompts I recognised many of the places and we had a lovely discussion of memories and past times. Thank you all.

Izabella Thu 05-Nov-20 11:18:43

Here is one of mine from the days when camera settings were still understood/ Grey you will recognise this.

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 11:21:33

Beautiful frosty picture Izabella.

Greyduster Thu 05-Nov-20 12:03:50

I do indeed Izabella. A wonderful place to be when the mayfly are rising and the trout are in a frenzy! Not on a day like that though! What a fabulous picture!

A foggy River Thames this morning

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 13:11:30

Ooo I feel homesick Riverwalk. Which bridge?

Riverwalk Thu 05-Nov-20 13:15:31

Ellianne two bridges - the close up is Albert Bridge, the other Chelsea Bridge.

Namsnanny Thu 05-Nov-20 13:19:55

Isabella I'm do glad you posted how much you like this thread!smile
Your wintry photo is making me shiver!

Namsnanny Thu 05-Nov-20 13:22:27

Riverwalk was that very early today?
I love photos of bridges.

farview Thu 05-Nov-20 13:25:40

Izabella..what a beautiful photograph...in fact I've loved every photo on this thread...⚘

Riverwalk Thu 05-Nov-20 13:27:16

Namsnanny not that early, around 9.

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 13:29:34

Oh yes, thanks, near the Chelsea Hospital and gardens. (I'm from the Tower Bridge end).

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 17:01:58

My river today was a bit smaller than The Thames.
