Beautiful - thank you

There's lovely! Thank you. I'm glad you and the garden are blooming. I've never been called that before. 🙂
All is well. 'All manner of things are well'.

Hello. How's the garden? How are you?

Thank you! Sunny here, birds are singing, washing's on the line.
Have a day full of whatever you like best.

One of those mornings.

Good morning World

Now I know why there is no steeple - thank you!

But no steeple?!

How kind, thank you.

Happy St David's Day lovely people.

Thank you. And to you too. X

Dramatic.

Hello lovely. Such a struggle the last few weeks but I'm still here. And the sun is on the mountain this morning - haven't seen that for a while.

Layers of history. The C14th crypt of Holy Trinity, Bosham (birth town of Harold Godwinson) has rib vaults made of Caen stone. Now a chapel it may have originally been a charnel house.

Good morning World

Begonia 'Elaine's Baby' for you

Because beauty helps, this is the Villa Farnesina in #Rome, full of bright early 16thC frescoes - incl Raphael's "Galatea" on the wall left - filled to the brim with heavenly creatures: gods, planets, constellations, cupids, and birds everywhere 🤩

Hello friend. Enveloped in cloud. Doing battle with recalcitrant words. Wish they'd stop fighting back.

Hello lovely. Have a day that is of just the flavour you like best.

Good morning World

Full-on profile shot including the puffy white tail. The ears are sort of backlit and translucent.

The other morning I took a picture of a desert cottontail rabbit in the neighbor's front yard

I wonder what they are eating.

Of course lovely. There is always room on the bookshelf for another haven seeker.
