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.

I've just seen this stunning picture of poppies in the Countryfile book. The light is fantastic. I'm going to order a copy because there's lots of views and animal photos.

Cows in the meadow (couldn’t find sheep in the corn!).

On holiday in North Wales, I must hundreds of photos from this area but can ever resist another one… or 2!

Eyes to the front, we're off!

Those eyes Ellianne, who could resist these 2 beauties!
Last day of our Welsh holiday yesterday. I really thought I had seen everything looking at its best, then last night there was this!

Millstones below Stanage Edge. They’ve been there a long time but look like they were cut yesterday.

One of our pretty pots brightening a dull day.

Houseleeks flowering on my rockery wall.

A few cityscapes from last week to counter-balance all the lovely flowers and rural settings!

The funny cube thing is the American Embassy close-up, the others are of the two blocks that have the sky high swimming pool. It's all part of the same complex.

I was a bit disappointed that the pool is only about 10 floors up - expected it to be higher!

Wow! Thank you for the architectural photos. Quite amazing.

A walk in the Black Forest. We are spending a few days here just to support the local economy (!).

It's just over an hour's drive from us.

Sehr schön, so grün.

I miss the sunflower fields in France but found this yesterday in someone's English garden. It was well over 8 ft.

Ellianne Thu 22-Jul-21 14:30:36

Magnifique May7. Just look at the sun's rays in the top right corner reflecting on the plant! Great photo.

Our little fountain.

My tame blackbird. Never flies away from me.
