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.

Nope! Seems like this has run its course for me, folks. Computer says no!

Oh no Greyduster. We lost a few others along the way because their lovely photos wouldn't work.
Try tapping the "Post" button two or three times to wake the photos up in the thread.

Oooh yes the hawthorn bushes look lovely when they are in flower. Takes me back to my childhood too .
All to often our council cut them back and we dont see them in abundance anymore

Sing a song of May time, sing a song of spring. Flowers are in their beauty, birds are on the wing.

Ellianne Fri 07-May-21 14:21:43

A host of pretty bluebells.

Greyduster Fri 07-May-21 10:00:41

That’s a lovely lilac May7. When we were out on Wednesday we passed a hawthorn bush in full flower and though the smell could never match a lilac, it took me straight back to my early childhood in an instant, walking in the lanes with my dad. I did take a photo but it doesn’t seem to reproduce well in small format.

Ellianne Thu 06-May-21 21:17:28

Or smell them!

Ellianne Thu 06-May-21 21:16:30

I think what amazes me, as an amateur photographer, is that a lot of the pictures on this thread almost seem 3D. You feel like you could put your hand out and touch them.

May7 Thu 06-May-21 20:40:27

I wish you could all smell this beautiful white lilac in my garden this evening

Greyduster Wed 05-May-21 15:59:07

Herons look completely out of place in a tree.
