Its the woods at the bottom of Barnes Street C-L-M , I have never heard it called Fiddlers Woods though !

Re: Today in pictures
 

I may be wrong with the name.It's the same place that I was thinking....

...I use to look for buzzards down there and fish the lodge that is at the side of the river.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I managed to grab this shot of the sun going down.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It sounds like the same place as there is a private fishing lodge to one side of the river.

Today is another of those yesterdays shots, It was a day of heavy clouds and threats of rain, however it mostly stayed fine whilst we circumnavigated Calf Hey Reservoir on Grane Road.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely! I see a rainbow in #9 :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

I picked my brother up and took him for a ride over the hills at Walsden where I ws born and bred.

About 150 years ago there was a mining village right off the beaten track which is now just a few piles of stones. It's about a two mile drive over the hills from the centre of Walsden. The last two photos are of Walsden as we were coming back down. The last photo is the new addition to Walsden and the biggest house was sold for a million quids. There used to be a turkey farm there when I lived in Walsden.

Re: Today in pictures
 

There were a lot of rainbows on that day, some that appeared to be just a few yards away, I think it was down to the sun coming out just as rain showers moved through where we were.

Re: Today in pictures
 

These were taken a few days ago - the leaves are almost all gone now. Some are from the fairgrounds near where I live. It's a nice place to walk around the track -1km once around. Some are from a little trail around a storm water pond. And there's one of a pioneer cemetery in the middle of nowhere.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Number 9 is my fave.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a walk between Mill Lane and Martholme Lane, as an old railway line it is, as you would expect, a bit on the straight side.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a day when I didn't have a lot of time, so the Woodlands was the only option.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a gentle perambulation around the Coppice.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a walk around the Pines, Gt. Harwood, I was expecting some sun, however as I drove up out of Harwood it was straight into low cloud.

Re: Today in pictures
 

We don't have, as far as I know any black squirrels in this area just the grey ones.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The red squirrels turn really dark in winter .

Re: Today in pictures
 

Most of ours are black ... but there are some greys ... one in particular, Graymalkin, is particularly friendly. No reds in this area, and few Chipmunks. We have a fairly large feral cat colony around here, and that probably accounts for many losses in the smaller critter community. I suspect that many of you animal lovers will appreciate this:

Re: Today in pictures
 

As I cannot adopt one of these lovely kitties I have made a donation instead.....I know it will help the good deeds continue for our furry friends.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was intended to be a short walk, the fact I took my camera meant it would never happen, a bit of a mooch around the canal at Altham.

Re: Today in pictures
 

God luv ya, dahlin' ... it will help the good work these guys are doing ... it's a great idea: trap the ferals, take them to a vet, have them neutered, give them their shots, release them back into their colonies, and keep kittens for adoption. Organizations like this, manned by volunteers and funded by donations do fantastic work. Here's another one:

Sheba's Haven | Rescue

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you Eric.
When I retired the trust wanted to give me a gift.
They gave me a list of traders who I could visit to choose something lovely.
I told them that I would prefer whatever money they wanted to spend to be given to a local lady who takes care of unwanted cats and kittens.
They tried to dissuade me, asking me if I would not like something to remember the trust
by.
I told them that the best gift they could give me was to know that some fur babies were being looked after rather than put to sleep.
I have enough memories of my working life.
I could very very easily become that mad old lady in the neighbourhood who feeds and nurtures cats.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I always said that if I came into a large sum of money I would head for the Spanish coast with a vet and a team to treat, vaccinate and neuter the cat population in that area.
Himself would open a donkey sanctuary.......so come that big Lotto win.....the money is spoken for.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I can go with that. :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

The weather today was terrible so it was a moist moment around Haworth Park.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I had a short walk on the cut bank at Todmorden. Its a few yards walk from Lidl car park so it suited me.
A man and lady had a ball on a string and the dog couldnt wait to dive in and swim for it time and time again. They also pointed out some duck eggs undisturbed.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Duck eggs .this time of year?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I don't know how long they had been there, it was only last saturday 31st October. Surprisingly they were all intact.

You know that you have too many peanuts when squirrels climb up your leg to take them out of your pocket:

Re: Today in pictures
 

My beloved Aunty Sheila is in hospital now in palliative care. She's reached a good age at nearly 90, but a good lady doesn't deserve an ending like this. My heart is broken, but I'm holding on to our many shared memories. Every day I make the trek to Oakville, and park my car on nearby streets to avoid the exorbitant parking costs. The upside is the beauty that I see on my walks. I will post more from my visits in the coming days. Today: the leaves are piled high for the workers to pick up: almost like snow! A Japenese maple glowed briefly in the late day sun. Apologies if the images don't come to you as I intend, my iPad is a fickle beast :)

Not a lot can be said at such a sad time, other than you are in our thoughts.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

I echo that sentiment too.
Your pictures are beautiful.
stay strong.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It has been too wet to go out today.....Yesterday my day was taken up with medical appointments for ma....but, I did get a chance to do something creative.
See what you think of these.
1-4 Christmas cards
5) the paper isn't creased it is textured
6-10....all the same stamp, but hand coloured in different colour combinations.
In truth I am not sure what i am going to do with these.....they might find their way onto cards, but they might be framed and given as pictures.
I LIKE them......yes I know that small things...etc :D
All that colouring took my mind off fireworks.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you, Margaret xo

Re: Today in pictures
 

lovely cards, so nicely crafted :)
I too like the wee dollies - they suit being hand coloured.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you Carolyn.
I like them, but then I am a bit biased.
I treated myself to some special craft pens, this was my first attempts at using them.
I am quite proud of my efforts.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a day for waterproofs as we walked along the boundary between Hyndburn and Rossendale

Re: Today in pictures
 

When I was tucked up warm and dry, I thought about you Dave...sloshing about in galoshes.
I wondered where you would be and hoped that during the deluge you might find somewhere to shelter.
Me being cowardly, stayed in with my colouring.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Beautiful - stark and moistly so :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

I think we were lucky with the moist bit as it was raining when we set off, and mostly stayed fine whilst out, we even sat outside at the cafe for a brew, then just as we got home it bounced down again, so even waterproofed up it wasn't tested to its extreme.

The whole area is industrially attractive to me and the moist bit is a bonus.

A gorgeous day today ... in fact, the weather has been great all week. A view across the Cataraqui River; notice that the ducks and geese have made themselves scarce. Usually happens in hunting season:D Number 2 is the boat I use to go water skiing.:cool: And one of a lake cruise ship stored for the winter.

It has termed it down here all day......never really got light.
But it hasn't been cold.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It's suppose to term it down for the next few days too,can't complain as it's been a pleasant Autumn....


...oh and it's suppose to be a bad winter too this year :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

For Margaret P. ... She seems to like these critters.:D Number 4 reminds me of Fess Parker ... Is there anyone else on here who wore a coonskin Davy Crockett hat?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Oh Eric, they are lovely.
I wish they came to my door.
I would be feeding them too.
The squirrels that live near Ma were on her back yard wall......she had put some mushy peas out for the birds( remains of one of her lunches) and there was an adult squirrel and a tiny kit hoeing into them.
By the time I went inside to get my camera, they had gone. An opportunity missed.

I bet those squirrels were 'turbo powered'later that day :D

She has a lovely expressive face.......lovely pics.
Will await the shots of the new arrivals with anticipation......I prefer puppies and kittens to babies if I am honest:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you Margaret, they certainly grow up to be better behaved than babies do, most of the time. Only a couple of weeks to go and the vets best guess when he did the scan is six so plenty of little furry models.:gooddog:

Re: Today in pictures
 

So they won't be ready for Christmas then....not entirely a bad thing.
I can see there being a lot of oohing and aahing in your vicinty very soon.

Re: Today in pictures
 

No, I think Christmas is a bad thing for puppies for obvious reasons, the timing for these ones however couldn`t be better, they will be ready for training just as spring is starting.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I am sure those folk who are lucky enough to get one of these puppies will have their life enriched, and will get more than a few smiles and chuckles out of the antics that they will see.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Daisy had a much bigger litter than expected, she ended up having 12, unfortunately this was way too many for her and with them being a week premature more than half didn`t survive so we now have 5 lovely little pups, had their first visit to the vets on Saturday just to make sure these are OK, and Roscoe is a girl.:rolleyes:

I love the sounds that puppies make. My parents used to breed poodles, and I have fond memories of cuddling them all. Thanks for sharing, gPick :)
