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.

My favourite bluebell woods. Taken a couple of years ago but it is the right time if year.

I love bluebells. These were taken last week. Heligan and the access to our holiday cottage,

It's a beautiful evening in the Tyne Valley. Looking from my garden over the chimneys towards the North Pennines.

Venturing out today to pastures new-ish this was my view as I sat with a cuppa and a (far too) large slice of carrot cake. I’m trying to kid myself the walk dealt with the calories hmm.

A rare glimpse of a male whitethroat this afternoon on our walk. I’ve only seen three in my life. He was singing his heart out with the zoom as far as it would go - then obligingly came to pose nearer.

Aldom Mon 31-May-21 19:29:25

Poppies.

cornergran Mon 31-May-21 23:25:51

I do enjoy seeing everyone’s photos. Thank you all.

My offering today is a fishing lake near our son’s home, we walked round it in warm sunshine and sat on a bench just, well, looking Excellent.

We came across a hidden waterfall in North Wales today.

Beautiful photos everyone, I do enjoy seeing them all. I’d been wondering why no irises had flowered in my garden this year. They’re one of my favourites, they remind me of my mum who loved them. Then up popped this one in an unexpected spot. Gardens are always full of surprises!

A pink popped up amongst the pink.

Ijustbshowe my DGS how to make a poppy doll. He was enchanted and has now been playing with it for at least 10 minutes!

JackyB Sat 05-Jun-21 11:19:57

I have just realised that this thread is in the "games" forum. I can't see it in "Active discussions" although I posted much later than the last post on the oldest thread in that list. Have they now arranged for the Games" threads to be hidden automatically after all the protests?

Ellianne Sat 05-Jun-21 11:29:53

What? No way.
This isn't a game, it's serious stuff, people taking the time to photograph things to share with others.
Thanks JackyB very observant of you. I will report it.
And I love the little poppy doll!

Aldom Sat 05-Jun-21 13:01:56

May 7 The hidden waterfall photo looks so peaceful. Heaven on earth.
Jacky B I love the poppy doll. Never seen one before. Pure enchantment for a small child.

It's sorted now. GN returned it to its rightful category. No idea why it got moved!
