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.

We had a glorious sunset last night but I couldn't photograph it as I was at choir practice and could only enjoy the bright red sky through the church windows - doubly glorious.

I had to go into Speyer this morning. It's our nearest big town and I love it. Have lived in the area since I came to Germany. I used to work there and driving in in the mornings would take my breath away with the sun shining on the historic spires and medieval buildings.

Today was a perfect September day and I was in tears at the sight of it because I haven't been since the start of the pandemic.

And then being able to sing on top of all that! I was helping out the choir at the church music school I used to attend as they are preparing for conducting exams.

I took this picture of the Cathedral. About half an hour later the sun would have been round the front but I had to get home - singing makes you hungry!

Oh dear, I chopped the top off. I made sure I hadn't!

I'm just amazed at the way they shoot up overnight. So delicate

I couldn’t resist this single stem multi-head sunflower outside the National Trust shop in Lacock today, it was amazing!

On a chilly autumn morning just sharing a couple of my roses in their second flowering. New Dawn and My Love.

Aldom Sat 02-Oct-21 08:58:16

Sorry, the photos are the opposite way round to the wording. My Love then New Dawn. smile

Mind you the picture might have given you a clue! ?

Flowers from my daughter and son- in-law.

Aldom Wed 06-Oct-21 18:23:41

Flowers from a dear friend. She gave me a three month subscription to Letterbox Flowers. This bouquet was the last one.

Esspee Thu 07-Oct-21 09:14:59

I love white flowers Aldom. They are beautiful.

Yesterday’s sunrise on Loch Lomond. It was the beginning of another stunning day.

One from my walk today.
Where two rivers meet.

It was quite foggy earlier this morning.

The view from Chelsea Bridge with Albert Bridge in the distance; and a rather atmospheric view in the other direction of a brooding Battersea Power Station.

Josianne Sat 09-Oct-21 12:47:52

Some people are up early to get ethereal shots. Here's a late afternoon one yesterday in the west with a dying light.
