Love the floating leaves and the damsel fly Frank - and you've got two cows and two crows in the first set of pics!

PS does Max ever move at anything other than a gallop?

Re: Today in pictures

Today in my garden. Some colour still, but it starts to fade at this time of year.

1 Rosa mundi
2 Nearly ready for some cream!
3 Feverfew and yellow loosestrife
4 Yellow loosestrife again (Lysimachia punctata)
5 The engine room - my compost heap
6 Astrantia major
7 Antirrhinums amongst corncockle (Agrostemma githago). I think there's a sweet William in there too!
8 Lychnis coronaria (Rose campion)

Re: Today in pictures

Ok...so here is my day. We went off to Bury. On the way back(because it was such a lovely day...and I wanted a hunk of peace just for myself) I got off the bus at Ramsbottom to take pictures. I had such a lovely time...I was grinning from ear to ear all the way home by myself. Yes.....I know. I'm easily pleased.
So here are some pictures of the day out.
1) the bus to Bury (I cheated a bit here...took this when I got back).
2) Railway sign For Ramsbottom.
3) Train going round the bend.
4) Do we really need all this luggage? - We're only going for the day!
5)The Bucket family - Ma, Pa and teen bucket - except they say it 'bookay'.
6) The Peel monument. This was taken from the footbridge over the railway.
7) We'll never get all this luggage on two bikes.
8) Enjoying fish and chips in the open air. They smelled divine...beef dripping and vinegar. I was tempted.
9) He's escaped. Don't worry he'll be back because he's left his bag(it has his 'snap' in it).
10)The Blue Lamp...can't you just hear the Dixon of Dock Green music?

Hope you like them.

12. How did that get there, and how long ago.
13. Well, look at that, lets go up a bit.
14. I have to get closer to that, my socks are still dry.
15. I can feel the spray on my face, I never knew this was here.
16. Right, further up we go.
17. OK. if I had four legs I would be first up the hill.
18. I found a clutch of Orchids.
19. Must be near the top by now.
20, Well, its like being on the Moon.

I think Ayers Rock (or Uluru as it is now known) has shrunk in the wash...it was much bigget than that last time I saw it.

Great set of pics Dave.......you must've walked your legs off.(you are wearing out faster from the bottom that you are growing out from the top ).
