What better way to look back on summer than through pictures?
This summer, we asked Online Community members to share their experiences of summer through photographs and artwork as part of our Summer Picture Festival in our “Express yourself” forum. This forum is a place to celebrate creativity and how being creative can help you to feel better.
Here on Community News, we’ll be reflecting on summer as we go into autumn by looking through a selection of members' photographs and artwork. Remember you can also see all the pictures from this year’s Summer Picture Festival in the “Express yourself” forum.
Lots of members shared pictures of flowers in bloom. If you share a love of gardening, why not take a look at our blog on gardening chat?
Some members shared their paintings.If you aren’t sure how to get started with being creative but you’d like to give it a try, take a look at our blog on creativity and coping. This blog was put together by a Community member to talk about how you can get started with writing poetry and making your words into art.
Some members shared pictures from their beach trips.
There were also many pictures of forests and woodland walks.
Sharing pictures can be a wonderful way to bring joy to other members on the Online Community and show your creativity. It can also bring comfort and support to look through pictures that may bring you joy. While the Online Community is usually for talking about how you're feeling, sometimes a picture can say a thousand words.
We’d like to thank all the members that took part in the Summer Picture Festival. You can view all the photos in the Summer Picture Festival thread in the “Express Yourself” forum.
