Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Black Swans are native to South and South East Australia....I took lots of pictures of them on the Adelaide River when I was there in 2003.......they are beautiful birds.
I am sure that Ossy Mills has at least one of them.(or at least,they used to have one)
I also saw them at Leeds Castle a few years ago

I have been to this town in Devon Dawlish Waterfowl. The Black Swans are one its major attractions, being on the river in the center of town.

By the way,Both of you should be commended for your lovely pics. I really enjoyed browsing them

Thank you, Margaret and compliment reciprocated!

I do sometimes light a candle but I find it has less meaning as I get older. And Richard has not a spiritual bone in his body. He's very practical - but also probably the least streetwise person I know. Lives in his own little world which I find it hard to penetrate sometimes!

Likewise - but this video suggests there might be at least one...

Oswaldtwistle Mills - Shopping Centres / Shopping Outlets & Tourist Attractions in England, Days Out In The UK

They are originally from Australia/ New Zealand, but have been bred for use in wildfowl collections and are now building up a feral population as some are free flyers.

They have a cruel streak as this video shows, one drowning a duck...

Went to Brighton last Saturday to see my favourite singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. Got there early. The weather was fantastic. Walked in the sun form Hove to Brighton. Had quite a bit to drink and took some photos :)

5: My camera was dangerously close to getting wet :)

9: Who's that ugly mug standing there in my attempt of a scenic shot? :p

Lovely set of pictures today, a visit to churches on foreign shores shows the care in construction, the Italy shots make me want to paddle around with my knotted hankie on. Rob you are showing a change in your composition, the pebbles and sea shots are very good, the water shape in number 6 makes you hear the sea on pebbles.
