Like to photograph things that catch my eye. All photographs are mine.

Dreaming of spring, although winter is only about to start. The soft light, the subtle colours, the gentle beauty of the petals unfolding to reveal the rebirth of nature.

Despite the longing for spring, I intend to enjoy the remaining days of autumn and the forthcoming winter. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ

Beautiful photo. This is another place that I remember from my childhood @shlead.bsky.social ! Along with the amazing temples of Madurai and Tanjore/Thanjavur. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello again BlueSky and BlueSky friends. It's been an extraordinarily busy week for me and I need to catch up on everyone's posts.

Meanwhile, London is full of decorations for Christmas and this is a close up of one. The twelve days of Christmas. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฆข

Going back in time to two years ago when this florist had an imaginative window display for the festive season. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŒŸโœจ๏ธ

Yes, it's been great to see them bloom for an extended period. Agree with you about the cold snap and the damage it will cause. The force of nature can't be denied!

The festive season lights have been switched on and I felt happy to see them again. It's like an old friend coming back into my life. Is that a crazy thing to feel? ๐Ÿ˜ฌโœจ๏ธ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŽ„

That is true. The service to fellow human beings is a wonderful characteristic. Have been to a few langars myself as a child, always had delicious food.

Many years ago, some friends of mine went swimming in Lake Baringo in Kenya. They later realised that it was full of crocodiles. Lady Luck was smiling on them that day!

The eye-catching angels of Regent Street are back for the tenth year in a row. Each time I see them, it feels like they are as good as new. โœจ๏ธ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ซโญ๏ธโœจ๏ธ

This reminds me of the drive from the Outer Banks, NC, to Washington DC at the end of the Memorial Day weekend more than thirty years ago. My friends were playing this song on repeat and we sang along with gusto. Memories. ๐Ÿ˜Š
