Not at all -play to your heart's content! Look forward to seeing the results.:)

Strange how few people there were around at 11 o'clock in the morning -mind you it was mid-week in April...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today I went to the hosp but they wouldn't let me have my next chemo session as my blood count wasn't right. So we went for a drive to Grange over Sands instead (Richard was supposed to be at work but it was a lovely bright and breezy day so I persuaded him...)

These first ten pics don't even get us to Grange, courtesy of a mid morning fuel stop near Carnforth...

1 Leaving home on a bright day with blue sky
2 Fuel stop for tea and bacon butties in a layby near Carnforth
3 Willow herb on the layby verge
4 The canal at the layby
5 Moorhen family wth three chicks
6 Unfortunately the chicks resemble nothing more than black blobs
7 Canal bridge - there was a heron on the towpath the other side of the bridge but it flew away before I could get a shot
8 Flowers on the bridge
9 View from the bridge - the A6 on the right, layby with butty wagon under the trees, then the canal
10 Morecambe Bay from the bridge - the cables going across the pic and the white pole on far right are on the West Coast main line which is just below the wire fence in the foreground

2. Looking over the small pond toward Platts Lodge.
3. I think this is the sluice gate from the lodge.
4.& 5 The Cinnabar Moth Caterpillar.
6. Part two, toward the canal from Altham.
7. Piggin eck, another bath night.
8. I wish I had seen this when it was a working whatever it was.
9. I think this Damselfly is watching me.
10. Hey you, hop it.

1 Is known as Woodnook Water, it meets up with Warmden Water
at the corner of Cross St & becomes the Hyndburn.
3 Is the head gear for the sluice gate known as a worm and screw.
Bullough's used it to control the flow from the lodge.

Glad you got a day out in the sunshine for a change Sue!:) Nice steps...

Great insect photos again Dave.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks for that, I often come across streams and bits of water that I dont know the name of, and that info filled in a blank. I have walked most of Hyndburn Brook where it is above ground.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some days you go out, and don't see a thing, then other days I'm on my knees for most of my walk. Ragwort around here is full of Cinnabar caterpillars at the moment. Will keep an eye out for the Cinnabar Moth as it is very colourful.

Re: Today in pictures
 

We parked near the station when we arrived at Grange over Sands yesterday so here are some photos of that very attractive building.

Featuring ornate cast iron and glass awnings, the buildings date back to 1864 and were designed by Lancaster architect Edward Paley for the Furness Railway Company. The station was extensively restored in the late 1990s, receiving a Heritage Trust Award in 1998.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely building as you say. Has been painted in similar colours to Accrington market hall.

Re: Today in pictures
 

... which was opened only five years later (1869).

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have to say that I tend to miss these type of photos, i'n not paying attention to roof spaces, I must try harder with regard to this.

I will pay more attention next time I go in, I just get my shopping done and away without taking the time to stand and stare, next time I will.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I've always photographed buildings, often from odd perspectives, but then I don't always see wickthings, or fungi, under my feet...

Each to his/her own, makes for variety!

Re: Today in pictures
 

You have a point, if I'm on my hands and knees I wouldn't notice the roofs
