1000 words. Photos on GN.

Ooh! My favourite birdie! I know they’re naughty, but there’s nothing more agile on two wings - unless you count the F35B Lightning.......! Okay GQ, I’ll shut up now shall I??

Love all the candle photos...(I still am not able to post pics)
grannyqueenie..we also get sparrowhawk taking our garden birds..I know its nature but I hate seeing it..I often shoo them away...but one day as I clapped my hands loudly at one..he flew right at me...and swerved at the last second ?

He (or she) has to eat ...

Just saying
We have had one in our garden occasionally and one caught a pigeon once. It sat at the top of the garden and demolished it.

We get one every winter here as well, Callistemon and I gather it's the female who hunts small garden birds.
It's all part of the cycle, but hard to watch.
Perhaps yours was a male?

That must be frustrating for you farview
I'm having tech problems too, so I cant post either!!

Greyduster did you ever see the documentary where the sparrow hawk had a camera attached which filmed as he darted here and there through the woods?

Ellianne magical misty photo. Keep up the good work ?

Has your Google logo today got a little robin stringing pretty lights through the letters and switching them on?
Let's have a few days of lights to brighten things up!
I hope those of you who are unable to post your photos can get yo the bottom of the problem.
Here's a lit up shop window.

Some more Longleat lights and an unusual nativity from Gloucester Cathedral. We were there in January and were delighted to find it still on display, very unusual, it was delighting the children.

I can post photos but its taking an age, everything hangs for what seems forever. .

New little Christmas deco

Well the goldfinches have obviously forgotten yesterday’s visitor and are enjoying the bird feeders once again.!

Lights are so cheering in these short December days. Here’s some from last year’s Christmas Tree Festival in our town, sadly yet another event that’s fallen foul of Covid this year..

Thank you Lara!
Looking forward to some of those photos on here.

I couldn't post photos either. So I logged off and logged on again, now ok. Might work.

Love the Christmassy ones.

Here is my strawberry tree - arbutus. Nice and colourful for December.

grannyqueenie the pink walls of your Church are absolutely stunning.

Re Four Candles.
Ronnie Corbett's daughter has a shop in Brighton of that name, which I think is so lovely. I bet that he was a smashing father.

My birthday is in November and one of my presents had a beautiful bow on it that I used for the Advent decoration on my front door. The picture is not brilliant because I had to take it in daylight. It has fairy lights on ot, so in keeping with the theme of "lights"

Nice JackyB and others.
The lights and colours are starting to appear everywhere in our town.

Yes they are grannyqueenie!
I wasnt sure if it was coloured light reflected off the white walls?

DH bought this just after last Christmas, to go with one we already have. I would have paid the shop not to sell it to him, but he and GS love them! Now all I have to do is stop him going out and buying any more!

Be thankful ?? Greyduster, it could be very much worse!
The church walls are actually white, but there are fancy uplighter/spot thingies that can change the hue to all sorts of colours. They were part of the big refurb a few years ago and are really effective.

Be very careful greyd - they breed ?.

Oh my goodness!!?

corner ???

How can you not love them greyd? I’m shocked . .

Hmm! Let me see......?!

Perhaps “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....” would help, gduster” - apply to the Christmas items or Mr Duster whichever you think will work best!
