1000 words. Photos on GN.

Sadly coming to an end. Haven’t contributed much but have very much enjoyed this wonderful thread, all the lovely views, skies, jugs, animals and so much more.
Thank you for starting it up and for keeping it rolling Ellianne. Please start another soon.

I’ve been distracted and not managed a look on this thread lately, what treats I have missed - thanks everyone.
Lovely words and images Ellianne
Here’s one I took a couple of years ago, I came across it again the other day and I thought it just sums up the upside down year we’ve all had in 2020!

Might as well get started on this then, seeing as we won't be sharing it!

Just had ten minutes catching up on the posts and beautiful photos...love the 'broken dog's.. ?x

That’s lovely, Ellianne. Let’s all hope that a better future for all of us and our grandchildren is not too far off.

I was taking a look at all the photos on here over the weekend. Thank goodness for nature and all the beautiful views, plus all the other wonderful pictures!
This morning I tried to be clever and grabbed a child to add to a previous photo I took. I didn't want the person to take over the landscape so attempted to be creative and make the figure represent all those children we have been unable to hug and the feeling of longing. The child is gazing wistfully into the distance, 1000 words, read from that what you like.

Wintry river walk for us. Raining now - again?

Canal walk (again) this week. It's the only place I go!

There are winter flowering cherries, but they are usually small white flowers, arnt they?

Oh my goodness Lisagran. That must be pretty rare in December. Lovely picture.

Its heartening to see photos of blossom and snowdrops.

I know! I wonder if it will be frozen / snowed off?

That’s amazing Lisa at this time of year.

Put it on Ebay Ellianne ? they buy anything, even broken golden retrievers.

Saw cherry blossom on our walk today!

Ooh, snowdrops already? I must look tomorrow! Lovely cyclamen

Early Snow drops shooting out of the ground, and red cyclone, which looks gorgeous this time of year.

The sky this morning before the rain began, still falling. Webbed feet will be needed soon.

Holly alert!
I watched a programme about Hampton Court at Christmas and the lady who was doing the decorations was cutting all the red berries off the holly. She was then twisting little artificial ones back on the stems. Apparently the berries stain the floor. I never knew that.

Yes, I saw that.
We have berries on our holly for the first time this year. I am waiting till the storms have passed before I go out to investigate.

My eyes see it better with tee light!

Without teelight and with teelight..... I think it’s teelightful!

Jug, not as neat as yours Lisagran. I just ran out to my porch to get a photo!
