1000 words, 1000 posts, let's get back!

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.

Cold today, but a sense of calm.
Certainly no signs of lots of day visitors.

Some very strange weather today. Sunshine and bright blue skies, mingled in with snow flurries and a bitter wind.

Greyduster Paul Hollywood tells you to put them in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. Apparently that gives an even rise, though one or two are a bit wonky!

Australian echidnas -thanks nanny8! New to me. What a tonic all these photos are.

Wonderful old trees in a nearby National Trust garden. Caught this dainty-flowered magnolia before today’s snow (must have browned all the flowers now)

No, the original photo was 5.3mb and I hadn’t noticed! That’s exactly how blue it’s been all day ?

Enjoyed a visit to some local gardens yesterday. It was a crisp sunny day but I felt so sad to see rhododendron blooms, lying like a carpet of autumn leaves, decimated by the harsh weather. But then other shrubs and trees appeared unscathed, just like us some are more tender than others.
