Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Last night's picture taken through my patio windows.
Look closely at the bottom left and in the corner of the fence there is a reflection of my table lampshade.

and a caterpillar I took climbing my wall. I framed it for fun.
Finally a look at Whirlaw hill from Todmorden market.

Today was a quick walk around St Mary's Burial Ground and the Millennium Garden, I did expect to get wet, but it just managed to stay dry, it was only after getting home that the clouds passed and the sun shone for a bit.

Its a Puff Ball fungus, when its ripe a hole appears on the top, and when it rains the pressure of each rain drop puffs out spores.
The car went passed our house just as we were reversing off the drive but there are fuzzy bits so you cant tell any one is sat in.

Love them Jen.....I would have loved to be able to take shots of the moon, but it was obscured by buildings and i didn't fancy being out and about in my frilly nightie :)
They would have carted me off to the funny farm, thinking I had slipped my moorings.

I was either stood in the front garden with the camera resting on my brown (garden rubbish) bin or stood in the front doorway taking them pics .. finally went to bed about 6am ... no one around either .. plenty of cars and wagons going past but no one walked past ... which was lucky as I was cursing the camera and it was a wee bit nippy out there at that time ..

3) Autumn blooms for sale outside the florists......I loved the displays outside that shop.
4) signpost telling you where to go :D.
5) looking down the mainstreet from the path up to the Castle.
6) More butterflies and bees. I don't know what the bush is(Davemac will know) but it was a definite fave with the bees. I don't know what brand the butterflies are either.......I need the help of a lepidopterist...they were quite large butterflies.
7) looking down the mainstreet from the top of the castle.
8) two poppies with visitors. These were at the foot of the statue of the soldier...very fitting.
9) looking out over the roof tops of Clitheroe.
10) A patriotically painted bike.

Just for you, hon ... And I didn't have to go to the park on this wet fall morning ... I just sat out on the scuzzy part of my front porch, watching the wheels go round and round (love John Lennon) ... of course, I did have a pocket full of peanuts.:D 1. Squirrel 2. Squirrel 3.

1-4: Last weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving, and it came with gloriously perfect weather. It was cool, but sunny and bright to show off the fall colours. We went for a little drive, and I shot a few snaps through the windshield. This weekend it's much colder, with a biting wind and on again off again sleet. Glad we got out and about last week!

7: During recent Geocache 'treasure hunt' outings: I liked this tree to photograph even better than I enjoyed putting my hand down inside its trunk to retrieve the cache.

8: Putting my arm down these holes was not my idea of fun. I almost got stuck, and had visions of having to call the fire brigade to get me un-stuck! What's worse, the geocache container, about the size of a peanut butter jar, slipped from my gloved fingers and sank deeper into the crevice, completely unreachable. Sigh!

I can take colour out, but cannot subtly put it back in the way that looks natural.

No,that's not to say the thought didn't cross my mind though.
They are toxic if you don't prepare them correctly,the Sherman use to let deer eat them and drink the urine...

...I'll stick with PG tips ;)

I was back at the location where the shroom was today and I observed two folk pick it and put it in a Tupperware box,if they don't have a deer,I hope they know how to prepare it.
I've never been a lover of the tea leafs as I can't stand the thought of eating them...

...strange,I know considering I waa contemplating eating a wild shroom :)
