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?

That's clever dragonfly.

Greyduster Mon 16-Nov-20 13:23:00

A real beauty, Dragonfly.

That’s a lovely shot dragonfly. Beautiful sunset by the sea Bluebelle, a bit landlocked here so I do enjoy a seaside fix every now and then. Here’s one from the other day, a gull who clearly likes to live life on the edge...there’s a large weir right behind him!

As we've all gone a bit invisible during this 2nd week of lockdown, I thought I'd show this morning's misty photo of 6 invisible Royal Marines. Shows how good their camouflage is! Or how blurry my photography is!

They’re ok while you can see them, Ellianne. It’s when they start dropping out of the trees you have to worry!?.

Ellianne Wed 18-Nov-20 15:34:27

Yummy, my favourite food!

After an awful few 'down ' days....have my friends dog for a few hours.
..so out of the gate and onto our moors...what a tonic for the soul..when sometimes..happiness evades us..we have to look for it...its there..promise ?

Ellianne Thu 19-Nov-20 12:36:45

Happiness is in the smallest of things farview. Heres a little shop window I took yesterday to cheer you up.

Beechnut Thu 19-Nov-20 12:40:37

Ellianne, does that shop sell pottery by Mary Rose Young?

Ellianne Thu 19-Nov-20 12:44:54

I'm not sure Beechnut. In the main they sell works by Devon and Cornwall artists and crafters.

Beechnut Thu 19-Nov-20 12:50:29

Thanks Ellianne. I thought the things at the bottom of the photo looked very similar to her work.

farview Thu 19-Nov-20 14:21:38

Ellianne..beautiful..I could just 'stand and stare' into that window! ?

DanniRae Thu 19-Nov-20 14:38:58

What an uplifting thread this is - one of the finest I have ever seen on Gransnet and I've been on here for quite a few years.
Thank you Ellianne for starting it 26 pages ago smile

farview Thu 19-Nov-20 15:30:12

That's so true DanniRae..
This is my friends little dog who I've had today...7yes old but like a puppy.

Greyduster Thu 19-Nov-20 15:50:26

farview I’m deeply envious of you walking on your moors. I can’t wait to get up onto ours but though it’s quite near, it’s over the county border! More ‘tears’ than tiers here! Here’s something to remind me of what I have to look forward to!

farview Thu 19-Nov-20 16:30:41

Beautiful picture Greyduster..moorland is so good to walk isnt it?...so frustrating for you re the county borders...make it the first thing you do as soon as the tiers ease..??

Ellianne Thu 19-Nov-20 17:00:36

Late afternoon on the beach when my dog is the same colour as the red golden sand.

Ellianne Thu 19-Nov-20 17:03:03

And another shop window on the way home.

Greyduster Thu 19-Nov-20 17:12:14

Wow! My first Christmas tree this year!

farview Thu 19-Nov-20 19:11:59

Another beautiful window??
I haven't seen the sea since February...you're so lucky to live on the coast ..

Ellianne Thu 19-Nov-20 19:15:05

I'm glad all the photos of different landscapes of the UK bring pleasure to everyone. We are so lucky in the UK.
We could try to keep the thread going for a few more weeks.

farview Thu 19-Nov-20 19:31:41

We must keep it going...its so uplifting...even when I don't post..I read it every day ?

Greyduster Thu 19-Nov-20 20:49:39

Here here!

cornergran Thu 19-Nov-20 22:44:05

Is that West Bay Ellianne? If so I’m seriously envious. Love that coastline, often there as a child, good memories. Here’s the view from our lunch stop in Wells this time last year, usually an annual event we think not this year sad.
