8 and 9 are great ... but I love 4: reminds me of S.W. Saskatchewan. Warms the cockles of a stubble jumpers heart.:D

I was out walking the other day and I stumbled across this tree full of (sheep?) bones :eek:.

Where was that?

Re: Today in pictures
 

If they are sheep bones ... probably near the Ewe-bank factory.;)

Today's Walkies

Re: Today in pictures
 

It was wet and windy on our walk around Hameldon Woods.

Re: Today in pictures
 

We've had an easy winter over here in Southern Ontario so far: not much snow, and tolerably cold. A couple from yesterday:
1. An afternoon snow squall seen from the comfort of my window
2. Miss Pris thinks: "Wake me up when Spring comes!"
3. What a difference a day makes. Today's drive to the next town: minus 10 and sunny.
4. Another view from inside the car. I love the red dogwood bushes - they give a bit of colour to the side of the road in winter.
5. We managed to fit in a Geocache hunt so down the steps I go
6. Hubby waits at the top
7. My cell phone GPS points to 'ground zero' - the container is behind the tree. I didn't linger - stayed just long enough to sign the log, then back to the warmth of the car.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Cold, wet & miserable over here, so photie opportunities are limited to through the window at the birds in the garden.

The resident Fezzy prowling his range, that includes our garden x3 - A Green Woodpecker doing the rotovating work so I won't have to come spring x3 - Some Spadgers ready to descend onto the feeder - Best way to spend a soggy afternoon. :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

In front of a fire ... drinking beer ... watching birds ... what a life!:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Don't forget the generous nip of a favourite Malt. :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was a day that people should stay at home, instead of walking around Huncoat Colliery.

Re: Today in pictures
 

All great shots :)
Number 2: I've had these beggars attach themselves to me more times than I care to remember. Number 6 shows green things shooting up - always good. The perspective in number 8 is really nice.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks,I know what you mean about the burdock heads, they were attached to the dogs legs, and up the length of my sleeve which then rubbed them onto the trim of the car when I lifted the dog on the back seat, and then when I took my boots off at home they were snagged on the laces. The way these plants spread their seeds around I am surprised that there are not more of them about.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It was a dull, windy day with nothing outstanding photography wise, but there are small signs things are improving. (St Mary's Burial Ground and Millennium Woods )

We've bin up t'fell today

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its over 12 months since my last visit there, the bare spaces left by the felling operation is fast being filled with pine saplings.

Re: Today in pictures
 

They were still felling when we were up there,we could hear the machinery in the trees.

View from hotel window, heavy snow forecast for tomorrow so camera might hopefully get a rare outing.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Were are you by the A9 in Scotland?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Not the A9, A82 I think, Kings house hotel, Glen Coe.

Re: Today in pictures
 

You are in the sticks then.Any snow yet?

Re: Today in pictures
 

The snow was a no show :(

Re: Today in pictures
 

A few pics so far from Scotland.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Very atmospheric.
Would not like to be stranded in that countryside....looks hostile(but maybe that's because I am a softy).

Re: Today in pictures
 

I love it up Scotland,but not this time of year

Re: Today in pictures
 

That`s more sensible than soft, get lost out there and you`re in big trouble, we stuck to the West Highland Way.

3rd year we`ve been this time of year, last year was amazing with lots of snow, this year it`s been lots of rain, it`s the gamble you take.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have only ventured to Scotland twice...Once to Edinburgh on a train day trip(loved it) and Gretna Green for a wedding.......that was OK, but didn't see much.

Re: Today in pictures
 

You don't know what your missing

Re: Today in pictures
 

I was wondering,when are we bringing the photo competition back? :hidewall:

Re: Today in pictures
 

I would love to go up to the highlands,but right now circumstances prevent me.
I wish that Ma was fit enough to travel. The two of us have had some corking breaks away.....but never North of the border. This is not really by choice.
It has just been what has been available when we have been able to take off.
Until things get better, I have to make do with where the photographers take me.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Wow, great scenes well shot. Makes me want to go there :)

Who's after a free meal from my bird feeder guests ?

Re: Today in pictures
 

A wet and sleet ridden day around Oak Hill Park, I have to say bending over taking snaps while the sleet if blowing around the nether regions certainly tests the resolve.

Re: Today in pictures
 

After a couple of night in Glen Coe it was off up to Skye where the rain was even wetter so photo opprtunities were few and far between.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Beautiful shots. I cannot pick one out of that bunch, they are all spectacular in their own way.

You shouldn't be playing in traffic.;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in pictures is actually yesterday in pictures, windows update downloaded 22 updates then took 6 hours to reboot, it did a check-disc, so that was a black screen with writing and numbers on it, all which I new nothing about. Anyway it was an afternoon mooching around Memorial Park, and an evening with a black screen.

Re: Today in pictures

Re: Today in pictures
 

Test What?

Sorry. I didn't think that would post. There seems to be no login option on Tapatalk?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Just a few pics from a walk around Rydal Water.

Re: Today in pictures
 

St Jame's Church, Altham on a cold but mostly sunny afternoon.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I noticed you had a valentine's rock in no 3

Re: Today in pictures
 

That,s what the wife got as a present, she was so pleased she couldn't speak.

Re: Today in pictures
 

While I think it is a wonderful gift...I can imagine that it is not so wonderful if you were expecting a different kind of rock.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Did you stuff it in her gob?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great shots gPick. Was that some kind of rescue?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Wonderful photos Davemac. And that was a lovely thought... to find such special rock, and give it to your wife. Kudos to you :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

The only other type of rock she gets is when we visit the seaside.

Its a bit too big, the stone not her gob.


I think it was the fact that it was valentines day, and among all the debris washed up on the banks after the floods the shaped one was the one I noticed.

Today in pictures
 

Thanks, yes, it was a rescue, not sure what the problem was but helicopter and four mountain rescue vehicles for an injured runner

Re: Today in pictures
 

At a guess I reckon your wife is a bit like me...doesn't expect much that sparkles...except perhaps a smile(they cost nowt, need no wrapping and never need to be exchanged because one size fits all......and if you haven't got one I will give you one of mine!)

Today's stroll

Re: Today in pictures
 

Where's Max?

And please keep the pics of flowing water to a minimum;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

He did not want his photo taken today.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice blue skies, and greenery all over. Looks like a lovely day for a stroll :)
We're just a wee bit jealous over here in Southern Ontario: the dreaded Polar Vortex has made an appearance. The past couple of days started at minus 26 degrees, and felt much colder with the wind chill. Winter came in like a lamb for us, but is having the last roar.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A walk around Dean Clough, this time without the wet bits close up..

Re: Today in pictures
 

Beautiful ice crystals :)
The air is so much clearer in winter, even where you are. Less humidity in the air, I suspect. Better for long distance views.

Re: Today in pictures
 

did he tell you that Frank?

Re: Today in pictures
 

He kept out of the way.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Foxhill Bank, when the weather was supposed to take a turn for the worst, it didn't though.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Blossoms? Pussy Willows? Some of us over here could get quite jealous :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its all a bit mixed up with the weather, there was a snow warning out (it hasn't yet ) and the temperature is down around zero at times ( I know you get minuses in double figures ), yet flowers and stuff are still trying to get the season started.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A typical winter's day in Southern Ontario: driving to the next town to get some computer stuff. I hardly ever walk when it's this cold and nasty out.
1. Check the Temp. - brisk!
2. Miss Pris is not amused.
3. On the way - a bit of snow.
4. A bit more snow - not much this year, thankfully (so far :))
5. A shelter for children while they wait for the school bus.
6. Another one - looks like a little house!
7. Back to Georgetown. The McGibbon Hotel (built 1861) is going to be replaced by condos for rich mucky-mucks. Bah!
8. Ah - our favourite pub.
9. Just opened - time for a pint :)

Re: Today in pictures

Re: Today in pictures
 

She's a bit timid and highly strung, so no fear of that. She's more likely to run off, with a cheeky "Meh!" :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

An interesting and varied set - great scenery, reflections, history, colourful graffiti, vegetation and a handsome Max :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Love the picture of Miss Pris.....she is a very pretty girl, but looks not so happy in the fruit bowl....her ears are a bit down and she looks like she is not very pleased with something.( though all this could be to do with camera angle - though I doubt it)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks Margaret. She's probably fed up with me photographing her all the time, plus the living room isn't very warm these days. That bowl holds onto the cold, I'm sure. A cold bum does not a happy pussy make Hahhah.

Re: Today in pictures
 

She has fur knickers on!

First couple are from a metal workers near my works (big crops of phone pics so not brill) third is a Dipper from walkies down the river.

Interesting sculpture - it looks like one of those where seen from a side angle, it doesn't mean much. But seen head on, it makes sense :)

Today's Walkies

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today was another excuse to get wet, a walk around Haworth Park.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It might not be wet; but it is dirty.:alright:

Re: Today in pictures
 

Seven and ten I really like. But if this is walkies, where the hell is the walkee.:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today at home having lunch, we were startled by a very loud police helicopter circling the Credit River valley. I'm guessing they're searching for a young man who's presumed drowned after a kayak accident on the weekend. They found his young girlfriend already. It's very, very sad. The young couple were probably encouraged by the recent spring-like weather, but the water is still very cold and dangerous.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I hope they find him

Today was a walk around the turbines under almost Blue skies, yet despite the fine weather I still ended up with wet socks.

All great shots - I can't choose a favourite. Did you place the floral tribute in number two, or was it already part of the landscape?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I really like how you cropped number 6 :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

He really is well hidden. I'm tempted to hope that his intended meal got away, but then again he (or she) has to eat too.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks Turtle, the flowers were already there, no obvious reason for them, maybe just a lost loved ones favourite viewpoint.

Today's stroll

Re: Today in pictures
 

Only two from me today. Glad my window cleaner had been, it was too cold to go in my dressing gown to get the snap.
This chap is wanted for stealing fish from my neighbours garden pond.
He sat on her roof for ages, just looking then down he went and away with the fish.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Well captured, Gremlin. I'm glad he got the fish :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yesterday there was a nice little dusting of snow to greet the morning. Only about 6 inches for us, but neighbours to the north got far more. We can't complain, as its been a fairly easy winter (so far! :eek:)
The windscreen wiper blades were left up because we expected ice rain.
