Beauty is all around us.

These are a collection of snaps of the beauties all around us in the Nature Realm in Rishton this morning, when the sun was shining and the sky blue with good white clouds. There is still warmth this afternoon, but the sky is changing to more low cloud. The Hyndburn shield on our coat of arms, has a very inspiring motto, "Industry and Prudence conquer", and as I stood watching a bee working so industriously with the amazing rhododendrons, it rang true. Industry is hard work in this expression of it and bees are incredibly busy and energetic.
I was blessed to photo many beautiful flowers, including the Parish Church garden and some forget me nots, on Pickup Road where they flower in gracious profusion.
Hoping you all enjoy a happy Friday and good weekend.

It is the birthdays of two people I admire, Enya the composer and singer and J Vine the radio presenter, 48. Blessings to both in their chosen spheres.
