I've received a few messages asking to continue the 1000 words thread. It has obviously given many people pleasure and some positivity. For anyone who doesn't know, posters come on with their photographs of pretty much anything and we take it from there. Nature is always a good one.

On Countryfile last night they were talking about entries for the 2022 calendar. The subject is Miracles of Nature.
They gave some really useful tips on how to photograph landscapes and flowers.
Perhaps someone form this thread might enter?

Had a day out to an NT place the other day. It was really too overcast for any decent photos but I couldn’t resist this solitary cygnet!

Ha yes weather is very changeable. Weve been to the summit twice on nice days and not seen a thing because of descending clouds.

Greyduster Sun 13-Jun-21 13:52:35

Lovely photo, May7 - whenever we’ve been you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face!

On a beautiful day like today you can see the tip of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)

Wish we could grow hollyhocks greyd, no sooner planted than full of disease. Love the colour of yours. Not sure I could balance on a paddle board at all ellianne, wonderful image.

The sea from a different angle this time. My daughter took this one while I was looking after the children on the beach.
(Not sure I could balance on a paddle board with my phone in my hand!)

My hollyhocks. Last year they had barely reached the top of the wall.

Nice lights MiniMoon. Can I ask where from please?

Aldom Sat 12-Jun-21 11:06:30

MiniMoon I like your garden lights. Very pretty.
I planted this rose ten years ago when I moved to this house. It's called New Dawn.

MiniMoon Fri 11-Jun-21 22:40:22

Some of the garden lights. These ones have a remote control with a selection of many colours.

Ellianne Fri 11-Jun-21 15:00:35

Red hot pokers at the beach.

Clematis on our trellis

Kate1949 Thu 10-Jun-21 19:39:32

This rose in our garden is a beautiful colour.

May7 Tue 08-Jun-21 11:53:51

cornergran I can almost smell the perfume of that Rose... it's beautiful
Here's some Red Hot Pokers before the birds strip them and they just become Pokers

Greyduster Tue 08-Jun-21 10:13:15

Spots??

Greyduster Tue 08-Jun-21 10:12:53

One of my favourite spots flowers - geum Mrs Bradshaw.

This is the fishing lake a few minutes walk along the canal from Stourbridge!

cornergran Mon 07-Jun-21 23:35:03

A rose from today’s NT walk. An odd one, the paths always went up and never down. How does that happen?? grin.

Aldom Mon 07-Jun-21 21:49:50

Great picture Parsley!
