Merry Christmas 2016_1930_C
Wishing all my Flickr friends Merry Christmas
and a Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year.
Thank you all for your visits, faves and comments throughout the year. I love the feeling of community and friendship within Flickr and it is a privilege to be part of this worldwide family.
It has been a very strange year to say the least. What with Brexits, Trumps, Wars and Terror, it's hard sometimes to believe we are a civilised race in control of our own destiny. Perhaps neither is true.
Still pondering this, I was in a garden shop this afternoon, I was surrounded by cascades of beautiful flowering plants and there were butterflies everywhere - and I realised, yes, there are still little pockets of paradise, untouched by the ugliness, and that is a very comforting thought. That such pockets exist in abundance on Flickr should give us new hope and keep the dream alive.
