Enough is enough.
The Palestinian people have had to endure far too much these last 21 months.
It's time for the West to stand up, get in, organise aid and recognise Palestine.

Morning and happy Friday
You really can't go wrong with Iceland for a #scape.
For today, this is a shot I took in Jokulsarlon on a #Pentax Spotmatic with a filter on to accentuate the cyan.

One final piece of #joy for #BlueSkyArtShow
This was Molly
We were her 3rd owners. She stayed with us until she couldn't stay any longer
Despite being an intransigent Beagle, she brought us loads of joy
This isn't her at her most joyful-I would have had to chase after her chasing the scent of a hare

Had to rethink what I was going to add for today's #BlueSkyArtShow. Just not appropriate at the moment.
So, #joy plan B.
Nothing fancy, nothing incredible.
Just two beautiful souls enjoying playing cards outside one summer's afternoon.

For this morning's #vibrant theme, Italy sprang to mind. What a country!

If Pope Leo comes to the UK, will he be arrested for speaking out (at a public mass) about #Gaza as others are?
UK protest laws are an outright disgrace in the UK.
This Labour Party under Starm(Trooper) has done nothing to stem the dismantling of democracy
