Ooh Less, that looks delish.
I am envious of you spending time in the big apple. It is somewhere i hoped I would get to visit.
Have a fantastic time and more pics please.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Can I ask....? What has happened to Davemacs wet wanderings?
I have missed his pictures very much...and I am sure there are others who have too.
Davemac has been a window on the(local) world for those who cannot get out and about...a breath of fresh air.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Is that an American Burger or a Minute Steak?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Half a cow steak, I had to eat most of it to get it to fit on the picture.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I thought it looked small for an American Steak

Re: Today in pictures
 

Probably Canadian beef.

Re: Today in pictures
 

They are too cute keep to myself Margaret.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, I can see that.....if you want a baby sitter.....I'm your man!

Re: Today in pictures
 

So I went to a bar, ordered a beer, would you like to see the menu? I was asked , I've already had a full breakfast and a minisota or somewhere ham sandwich with melted cheese that could have fed three for lunch, so I declined.
Perhaps the snack menu she asked?
I agreed and saw this mixed sea food offer of cod, king prawn and shrimps with fries.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12...36ce58bccc.jpg
The above is what I got as a snack. I put one of the chips next to the fork to give Margaret an idea of what their chips look like.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, that chip lolls good too.
Not a great fan of sea food.....but I would give the cod a run for its money.
Glad to see that you are sampling the culinary delights.
Have a great time Less.....though it looks to me like you don't need this bit of advice at all!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Margaret you can have the cod .. i'll have the prawns ... and we'll share the chips and dips and coleslaw ...:D

For the more astute amongst you, you'll be aware I'm presently skulking round Southern Germany, dispensing my particular brand of joviality & over indulgence to the best of my ability (And Alcoholic beverages capacity :D)

Allgäuer Alps (note the smidgeon of snow on the Grünten) - A favourite haunt from my wild days on "Snow Queen" - Bad Tölz "Weihnachtsmarkt" x3 (in 13°c with plenty of sunshine :confused:) - Kloster Irsee - Monk juice - Inside the Braustüberl - Witchitty one & her Mum - Kloster Irsee. :)

[QUOTE=Retlaw;1157095]No.... I don't think that can be true. Davemac has always had an avid following for his pics on here. They have always been appreciated.
So it is not because his pictures were not valued...they were.....and he and his wet wanderings are missed!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Not bad at all Ma, enjoying myself far to much, travelling round, eating & drinking & generally lazing, marvellous! :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

[QUOTE=Retlaw;1157095]
Thanks for asking as to my whereabouts, the reason is I had that many photographs that required sorting, some going back to the spring flowers, that I had to take time off from snapping to be able to catch up. It didn't help my productivity when I developed Bronchitis a week into my task which knocked me on my jacksie for three weeks.
Walter you will notice that I haven't posted on Hyndburn chat for the same period and Dianne asked me the same question.
I am now back on course working away at my backlog, however I still have an unbelievable 27000 to sort through to delete or keep, that's the output of 5 days a week, using two cameras. I also have to sort out those I want to put on Flickr, that's another site I haven't kept up to date for the same period.
I would hope normal service will be returning soon, but I will have to apply myself, both now, and in the future, not letting myself get so far behind.

So all the best for the festive season and the coming of a new year, I have just thought of a new year resolution for myself.

Re: Today in pictures
 

All the best to you and yours Dave .Glad to know you are better

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks Frank, for two weeks I was non stop coughing, my ribs and diaphragm hurt, but its all over now, but once the routine is changed it takes a bit getting back to norm.

Re: Today in pictures
 

[QUOTE=davemac;1157121]I am pleased to hear that you are tackling your backlog of pics.....I (and I am sure many others) am/are looking forward to a visual feast.

I am sorry to hear that you have been laid low, and hope you are on the mend now(don't forget I am a fully certified nurse, and do a mean line in blanket baths....special rates for friends).
Hope you and yours have a lovely family Christmas, and a happy, healthy New year.

Is your new year resolution ' don't get thI gusset wet lad'??:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

[QUOTE=Margaret Pilkington;1157129]If its not wet you aren't doing it right. I couldn't believe how many pictures I had taken, and how long they take to sort out, but sort them out I will.
I will probably be back in harness for the new year, so until then Merry Xmas and condiments for the new year.

Re: Today in pictures
 

[QUOTE=shillelagh;1157147]Thanks, and the same wishes to yourself, I am still going out walking the dog, but have decided not to take any snaps until I have cleared my backlog, it is a bit strange not having a camera bag over my shoulder, but at the rate I was snapping I couldn't make any headway into the backlog.

Re: Today in pictures
 

So you are past the 'blanket bath' stage of your condition then.
What a shame. I have just opened a new box of Brillo's. They aren't so nice when they get rusty.:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Further adventures in Bartzland! :D

The Ayinger Bräuerei - Schweiger Bräueri at Markt Schwaben - Inside the Schweiger Bräu haus - "Poing" the next village up from the M.i.Laws - Looking across from Großhöhenrain towards the Alps - Typical Bayerische "Zwiebel Turm" Church in Högling - Rosenheim Flötzinger Bräuerei - The Witch & the Bitch at Chiemsee - And the last two, just for their novelty value & my schoolboy sniggery sense of humour (Pups - "en" added by some local wag, look it up on a German-English translation site) ;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

love number 4 Son...great shots all of them...but 4 is my favourite.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It's apparently some kind of modern art/welcoming sign from the village & it sits on the roundabout as you come into the village. The M.i.L is most definitely taking the Queen Vic approach to this piece of "Art". :)

[QUOTE=davemac;1157151]

Re: Today in pictures
 

[QUOTE=shillelagh;1157182]My collection went all the way back to Spring, but it was the huge number of snaps that were a bit staggering, but I never take just one snap, I do one left a bit one right a bit, one a bit lower etc, I will delete a large number of them but each one has to be viewed and that is the time consuming bit. I hope to get myself into a better system when I bottom the batch.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Dave Good luck with that one...the deleting. I am hopeless at that.
I always always think that I can do something with the pictures...crop them, colourise them, remove the colour.
I can have hours and hours of bum numbing fun doing that....but I only delete the 'past redemption' fuzzy ones.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have to be strict with myself, the amount of snaps I take can be hundreds every time I go out, this requires terabytes of storage and if I am honest some are just rubbish, so delete is the only way. There was a famous photographer (cant remember his name) who said take hundreds of photographs but delete most of them.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The picture of the 'Old Bus at the Wedding' at The Dunk is actually of the No 10 Accrington Corporation Guy Arab III Single Decker from 1949 that was sold in 1986 when privatisation arrived. It is now owned by a wedding Company in Yorkshire. T'would be great to see it in the classic Accy Transport colours of Red, blue, black with gold lining!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I didn't know it was an "Accy" bus, there is a possibility then that I used it when it was in service.

Re: Today in pictures
 

They start to leave us this weekend :(

Re: Today in pictures
 

You'll miss them

Re: Today in pictures
 

I know, the mrs gets really upset when I start talking about them leaving.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I can't blame her...I would be in bits...they are lovely puppies.
The pics make me broody in a way that babies never did.

I was at Ma's yesterday and walked into town along the lodge path.......there was a duck trying desperately to get onto a rock(which was icy)....he had no luck and gave up after several attempts. It made me chuckle.
The Cannada Geese were walking on the ice too.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Think you'll find that's more of a Colonial than an immigrant. :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

still haven't sorted the Scottish ones out yet .. but yesterday went for walkies .. got caught in the snow .. well the flying Scotsman turned up in rawtenstall as the same time as the snow ... :p

Although I still have a lot of pictures to sort through who can resist the snow and the chance to get frozen knees and an extremely cold gusset. So off we went to Dean Clough Reservoir, it was a joy to be out.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Dave, we get your joy too.....it is evident in the pictures you post.
I LIKE snow.....but only pictures of it.....and yours are just lovely.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank,I have resisted the urge to snap randomly for about a month now, and have made headway into my backlog, but the sight of snow was too good an opportunity to miss, especially as last year there was very little snow to snap, and looking out of the window it has all but gone now.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A walk down to the River Calder, with no snow or frost the ground is a bit soft underfoot, and the water is a bit wetter than normal as well.

Ooh - quite a few moist gusset moments here Davemac :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

You been up the Coppice,Dave?

Re: Today in pictures
 

If you look at the perspective from a couple of the snaps its impossible not to have a moist gusset

I think we live in a part of the country that has amazing views just minutes away.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I hadn't been up for a while so thought it was time to see if it was still as steep, I think it is a bit more inclined than it was the last time I visited.
