Precious

Our village has a monthly photographic 'competition' on Facebook, and the winner of the month chooses the theme for the following month. No prizes, and not very many people participate, but it's a bit of fun and I always try to post an image. This month, Shona chose the word precious. Trying to think a little bit 'outside the box' I opted to post an image of something which is very precious to both John and me. Our OS maps and compass! We would literally be lost without them! Ha ha!

Clever take on the word!
What more precious to you & John on your adventures.

I loved this - it is a story of your interests in the wide open spaces and your love of a good challenge.

The sight of those makes my heart sing - I wish I could fit more walking in before my knees truly give up the ghost

Love the "outside the box" approach here- it works quite well for the word!

Great photo. Sometimes I realize that I don't know where I really am in the world. A compass would be a good thing for me to have. Oh, and a paper map.
