I love the change of seasons and how every month brings new flowers in the garden. 🙏🏻🌹🌼🌺🌸🙏🏻 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍
This is a great new law and it's a shame that the UK is no longer part of the EU: "Unsold clothes can no longer be destroyed by companies with more than 25 employees." ❤️🌍❤️
Reading Matthew 12:14-21 just now & learning new words: "vainglory" (the best description for tyrants ever) and "self-emptying", see meanings below. Words that we need to hear & use more often. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I've been thinking a lot about feeling weak lately, and helpless. It's good to read that God works at His best during my moments of weakness. I cannot wait to see what will happen. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 2 Corinthians 2:9-10
The petals on this Calendula flower are beautifully arranged. A real piece of art. 😍🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻
I really support "craftivists". I think they are doing a beautiful protest, quietly working away at things in the background. I might even be tempted to give it a try too.
A "sporting estate"? Sounds more like a nature killing fields to me. 😡 I truly don't understand the "sporting" element of killing beautiful animals. ❤️🌍❤️
Philadelpus...something, growing in the garden of a nearby big house. My goodness, what a fragrance!!! Beautiful. 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻❤️
Greater Butterfly Orchid, growing in the verge just outside the village. What a find, what a joy to see it! 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻❤️ Scotland's temporate rainforest at its best.
Watching an Osprey nest online and noticing both parent and chick responding to the heat: beaks wide open and heavy breathing. I hope they are going to be ok. 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻🥵 It's not normally this hot in Scotland.
Of course I forgot the most important thing: Independence for all UK nations, and a new Union of Independent Equals!!! 😁
This little mount (no it's not a grave 😆) is what was left after we took the invasive Rhododendron Ponti...something down. I am now trying to turn it into a haven for succulents. It should work, I hope. 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻
I love some of the paintings by Gustav Klimt. This one's called Field of Flowers. ❤️🌍❤️
What's not to love about a beautiful sunset show. Feeling very grateful just now. Thank you planet Earth. May we appreciate all you do for us...🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻
