(I liked this earlier without time to respond, so I'm returning to it now.) I love this picture.

I love the feel of this.

I'm going to jump in and echo what Lori said about your pictures. I love seeing your photos!

I will, thank you.

That looks great.

Gid ofternin.

It really is called 'Zapain' because it zaps pain, isn't it? That's remarkably ... on the nose

My son is making envious noises at the mussels.

I love this.

Oh god, someone may have to stop me from doing silly accents all day now

Thank you!

I think my phone doesn't - I did look up what it could and couldn't do early on. Seems a useful feature.

Thank you! A bit of time, at last, and some nice light. I was happy with the result.

It is! We also have some of the orange ones, but they're really difficult to capture in a photograph.

Yes! It's on the road that starts off as Station Road then becomes Stuntney Causeway. It's just after you go under the railway line and just before you go over the Ouse.

Thank you! It's a gorgeous flower.

Finally got a few minutes in the garden, after a long week of work. 📷 #photography

Fantastic.

I'm delighted to hear it. 🙂 Baby steps here we come.

Yes!

The concrete looks pleasingly metallic.

Also like this (I now realise I'm seeing them backwards).

Oo yes. Like this.

Seconded

It's the time of year when we have juvenile blackbirds blundering round our garden and I couldn't be happier.

That's great. Love the light reflecting on the rails.

I really like this.

Thank you!

There's been no spectacular sunset, but a pleasing evening light, and foliage still wet and richly green from today's rain. 📷 #photography

Hope you enjoy the visit! It's on the High Street (round the corner from the cathedral's main entrance) and worth a look if you get the chance. Looks small but has three floors and books on every available surface. It reminds me of what bookshops seemed like to me when I was little.

Looking through old photos. 📷 #photography

It does sound lovely.

Yes, I get that impression from the photo.

I like them in the right place. We have two large ones we were bought that just don't fit the spaces in our garden. On the other hand we have a couple of hybrid tea roses whose look and smell takes me right back to happy childhood days back at home. Those and sweet peas.

The flowers look pretty too. This rose has dog-rose-type single flowers, which are nice enough but perhaps not worth the pain...

That rose has thousands of the infernal things. Its briars grow to fourteen feet long and have to be cut back each year, from underneath. For two weekends every spring I come back into the house looking as though I've done three rounds with Freddie Krueger.

Yup, this was one of those macro pictures that looked very different from how I'd seen it before I took the photo...

It sounds awful, and difficult, but like everyone else I'm glad to see you back - I hope your recovery continues swiftly. Being stuck in is no fun.
