Photo THREAD….

This world we live in is breathtakingly beautiful….

Even the simplest things, dying leaves and a pile of manure set against a setting sun with some wind turbines. Or a duck in a wintering garden.

I have a modest proposal to you my followers one which I intend to now pursue.

For every tweet about politics or worldly matters that are sad or disappointing or annoying, I will now post a recent photo from my #BeautifulWorld

I am currently in a field watching the sun set. These days we all have cameras in our devices, so this is far from difficult. Especially once you start to look at this #BeautifulWorld

It seems to me that his time of renewal Christmas, Timket, Hanukkah, New Year is also a very appropriate time, to share with each other our #BeautifulWorld (s) and give thanks for it.

This little video is from a #BeautifulFriend’s Garden whose cat and local birds I have agreed to help feed whilst they are away.

Meanwhile the sun is still setting in my #BeautifulWorld. Sunsets and sunrises are star performers in my #beautiful world

Moon rises at sunset are particularly special.

Seed heads…. New life waiting to be born. Wintering like me. #BeautifulWorld

Here’s a still life portrait of some visitors to my house, leaves gathered from the floor earlier today, in a particularly large fallen walnut leaf.

The leaves were brought in by loved ones who have now departed. #BeautifulWorld
