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.

Lovely greyduster, Happy Birthday PDBP! These great spaces that we have really are something to be celebrated.
This isn’t a national park but a managed woodland where there’s been a lot of planned deforestation - hence the tree stumps. The view across the reservoir was a pleasant end to a sunny day yesterday.

I love silver birches, whether on a hillside in the sun like yours, GQ, or the ones planted in front of Tate Modern. At home in any setting.

Crikey, life is dangerous at times!

Blimey! Where did you meet that?

Adders come out when it starts to get warm in the woods and on the moors here. There have been some tragic accidents when dogs investigate them. He was on a path in the woods.

Fantastic photo's! These are from a walk Thursday in fields between Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton.

One of my favourite walks is along the burn. It's a historic place, having been industrial in the 19th century, quarrying, lime burning and brick making.
These are the faces in the rock.

The burn, below the faces.

Almost tropical here today.

Aldom Sat 24-Apr-21 11:24:12

Good morning everyone.

Ellianne Sat 24-Apr-21 13:07:25

Good morning to you too! Warm today, but the breeze is playing havoc with my hair.

Continuing on an agricultural theme, we spotted this little one having a nap with mum, and a slightly more curious one who came to say hello!
