Re: Today in pictures
We rent a house not too far from the pier.
I like Llandudno. Especially when I take Ma in her chariot. I take her along the Esplanade and she gets a good blast of sea air. This time I went with my daughter and her family...Ma was envious. Glad you were able to get away for a break with your wife Gremlin......it was a fair week for the weather too. |
Re: Today in pictures
We could only get the cottage for three night Margaret, we went Sunday and back Wednesday, it was enough for my wife and she was ready for home.
We had to see the consultant on the Thursday as well, he is very pleased with her and we are now hoping for a year or two longer together. |
Re: Today in pictures
I came on to post my pictures, and yet again got sidetracked looking at todays postings. The standard of pictures and locations improves all the time. I have to go out now for a while, will try to post when I get back if no more pictures are posted.

Today in Picture, it felt like we had journeyed up the Orinoco.
1. View from pot house lane across Ossy. 2. Walking around Jackhouse Reservoir we arrive at the top Res (empty) and follow the stream that runs through the now tree covered area. 3. This is a fly on a flower, or a flower with a fly, I cant decide. 4. This is the stream that enters the top res. 5. This is a bit further up. 6. I never expected this. 7. This is back up a bit in order to go around the waterfall. 8. After a climb we followed the stream to within a stones throw of Haslingden Old Road. 9. You can see the blades for the next wind turbine laid out ready, they are huuuuge. 10.Missing out the descent, we arrive back at Jackhouse, next the walk along Pot House Lane, to the car. |

Not sure about the fly, as it wasnt flying , and it didnt hover, it was just having a bit of dinner. |

Heineken Hoverfly - Rhingia campestris | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Well done, that was a toughie. The way it holds its wings is odd, most hoverflies have them spread out rather than folded. That snout is a dead giveaway. |

I have been taking photos for more years than I can remember (or wanted to) but because of this thread I decided to buy a macro lens.
My first efforts are not very good, mainly due to the breeze moving the plant. I am not as nimble as Davemac so won't be crawling around on my knees where the sway of the bushes is less noticeable. The photo of the thing with the long legs was taken on the patio glass doors with some kitchen roll stuck behind. You can see my first effort with my reflection on it in picture 5. |
