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?

Beautiful atmospheric photo Izabella
and thank you Ellianne for this wonderful thread.

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 17:36:49

this wonderful thread
Well it is certainly more cheery than some other threads! Just hope we can continue to snap some happy pictures during the next 4 weeks

Be great if it can go on through the Christmas period to brighten our days

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 17:46:33

Yes definitely, like for example a shop window.

Ellianne Thu 05-Nov-20 17:47:50

That was a National Trust shop yesterday afternoon.

Love those London bridges, triggered much nostalgic chat here. This thread brightens my days. smile.

Walked round this lake today, well twice actually as it’s not very big grin.

The sun came out today, warm as summer and as if it knew, this Oriental Poppy, (three of them), has decided to bloom just in time for Poppy Day (if they can last that long)!!

Who would have thought a flooded car park could be so beautiful grannyqueenie?

Spangler Does the hedgehog live in your garden? Such a good photo. I love the yellow leaves too.

Another one here who loves your daughters loo Ellianne smile

London! Lived there for 39 years, still miss walking by the river. Fabulous poppies too! In fact everything about this thread is so enjoyable, Here are a couple from our pre lockdown excursion into North Yorkshire this week.

Misty view from my kitchen window..(or maybe window needs cleaning ?

Ellianne Fri 06-Nov-20 09:11:00

Gorgeous poppies Namsnanny, those Yorkshire views look like the Herriot vet programme grannyqueenie. I'd leave the window hazy fairview, it makes the picture more ethereal!

Now I have 2, DOH! Sorry about this - computers grrrrrrr!

This reminds me of our IT fellow at work, who, if we asked him to look at someone’s PC, would often come back and say, “ It’s a picnic”.

In otherwords,
Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

( Not that I’m suggesting that you’re a ‘picnic’, Purplepixie)!

Ellianne Fri 06-Nov-20 09:21:23

I think I'll blame smeary windows too in my photo taken from the top of the Walkie Talkie.

grannyqueenie Fri 06-Nov-20 10:13:25

Funny you should say that Ellieanne, the photos were actually taken near the house that was used as Helen’s house in the recent TV series! I’m sure I have a photo of it....somewhere.....! ??

Namsnanny Fri 06-Nov-20 11:46:18

cornergran will you be walking around your lovely lake again?

Ellianne Fri 06-Nov-20 14:25:30

Dismantling beach huts in progress now. Goodbye until they come back next year.

We went for a walk today and DH said “what’s that bird on that fence post?” “It’s a pigeon” says I. But it wasn’t. It was this fellow, sitting minding his own business for quite a long time until I moved to get a side view of him, and he flew off☹️. A youngster I think.

cornergran Fri 06-Nov-20 18:42:46

Today’s NT walk was in brilliant sunshine, a truly beautiful day.

Ellianne Fri 06-Nov-20 19:13:14

A lovely end to the week for everyone despite the hard times. Such beautiful photos and memories stirred.

Namsnanny Fri 06-Nov-20 20:00:50

One for the bridge collection.
The Second Severn crossing from a couple of summers ago!

Well I took some yesterday of the Prince of Wales Bridge but my photography skills are zilch. It was quite misty !

Namsnanny Fri 06-Nov-20 20:17:50

That gives it an atmosphere Callistemon smile

Well I hope we can put lots of styles of photo up here and not just our best ones ( although I must confess to judging my own and picking out the best ones blush).

Or we shall all end up nervous wrecks!

Beechnut Fri 06-Nov-20 20:19:29

Your bridge photos look like the Severn Bridge to me Namsnanny.

Greyduster Fri 06-Nov-20 20:26:09

Is that the one where I always have to shut my eyes when we go over it??

Callistemon Fri 06-Nov-20 20:39:00

I don't because I'm usually driving grin
