It was busier today than my last pics two weeks ago, must be more people on holidays. You tend to get mainly private boats on this canal as it doesn't really go anywhere except Preston unless you want to cross the Ribble. Also it has no locks. When we lived in the midlands there were loads of hire company boats. We once won a long weekend trip and managed to hit a bridge and another boat during that time. The company who had donated the holiday were not best pleased...
Its the water, it can be very slippery, and boats don't have any brakes.

Too hot to get out again today so I've just been having a sort through some recent photos from Tenerife.
1-3 Thought I'd show you a little of the Port of San Juan

4-9 Typical little village near where mum lives called El Puertito which I love -she hates it -says it's run down but for me that's it's charm...Great walk along the coast there and some weird volcanic rock around.

10 The photo of the pool with reflections is where mum lives -was about to have a swim...:D:hothothot

I can see why you like El puertito - reminds me a bit of Ravenglass in Cumbria which I always think of as a (charming) rundown fishing village.

When you live in a place like Ocean Tropical it must be easy to think of other places as run down... have been looking at it on the property pages! I like the little Moorish houses!

A lovely place for a holiday but I wouldn't want to live somewhere where the temperature rarely goes below 18 degrees and growing cacti in my garden does not appeal!

Today's crop from Yesterday in Lancaster

1 Crane at the top of the main shopping street - they've been working on that building on the right for six months!
2 The dome on the Ashton Memorial (just!) seen through a hole in the trees
3 A better view from the next street - it's about a mile away from here, on the top of a hill
4 Close up with maximum zoom
5 Another dome, this time on the Town Hall, the building with the columned portico sticking out...
6 ... or on top of a bus...
7 ...or intruding in a shot of a vintage lorry, from Aberdeen, it said on the side
8 Floral display by the bus stops
9 Old weights, one of several displays in the Marketgate shopping centre
10 Our local wholefood cafe and shop

Bilge water, all the fluids that leak out, seep or leak in, gather in the bilge (lowest point of the craft where the sides meet the Keel) & can then be pumped out, so there's probably traces of oil or cleaning agents in amongst it giving the effect you see on the water. :)

Did that seem spotterish ?:eek:

Spotterish?? is that how you spend your time then? When you're not boozing at tractor rallies or chucking maggots?

I reckon there was some dirty washing up water in there as well - plenty of bubbles from that there Fairy Liquid...

Lawdluvusno ! I try to avoid such pursuits, but on occasion we're dragged into the void by Father dear as we pad round various docks & harbours in Germany & Holland, trying to sate Paters desire for boats.

I know it's somewhat strange, but as a dutiful Son & fruit of his loins I try to humour the owd codger when he's here. :D (plus it keeps him from being annoying ;))

More shots of Tenerife...A selection of shots in different places:
1 A cool corner in Armenìme
2 1000 yr old Dragon Tree in Icod del Los Vignos (note person by white wall to left for scale!)
3 An old door in Icod
4 Weird trees in the square in Icod -like i imagine Ents to be!
5 Strange succulent plant in the mountains - like giant asparagus.
6 Huge flowers
7 Aloe vera and succulents in El Puertito
8 Balconies in Icod
9 Anchovies (and a nice-looking fisherman!:D) San Juan harbour
10 El Puertito again -note little house under the rocks.

More from the Lancaster canal on Monday, this is the other side of the A6 bridge, away from the basin in Monday's pics, quieter and more vegetation - and ducks! Why do we like snapping ducks so much? Then back to the car parked in the old mill complex where Richard's firm has an office.

1 Hogweed but jury's out as to whether it's a honeybee or hoverfly - can't see any pollen on back legs which would defo indicate a honeybee
2 As 1 - nearly went in the canal with this one as the bank sloped away from under my foot!
3 Apartments on the canal, and ducks - I like the reflections in the water
4 This used to be the name of a hairstyle - duck disappearing into an opening in the side of the canal
5 Follow my leader - only one's not playing...
6 Ducks and grass
7 Oh bollards! Could be alien offspring from something in the alcohol/thread. Be afraid, be very afraid!
8 Ornate brackets on a fire escape
9 Didn't know walls could have nipples - the end of a retaining rod holding the walls in
10 I know this one's blurred - but I rather like the effect. Yarrow on the park wall, taken from the car on the way home to Morecambe. Normally when I don't have my camera the car stops at this point for the traffic lights. Today of course - we sped past..

Some of this looks very familiar to me, the Dragon Tree, I visited it myself donkeys years ago on the way through to Loro Park.

The Asparagus thingy, is actually the flower spike from the Agave, its called the Century Plant as thats how long it takes to flower , then it dies.

I know what you are saying with regard to ducks, at the start of the Duckling season I took hundreds, but I think the proximity to water is the same as well. I tend to be drawn to walks with canals, or streams, and rivers, failing that, a running tap.

Thanks for nailing that for me Dave, that was my thought too, though I've never seen one actually at that stage.

Perhaps that's why I get some good pics from my loo window!

Was frustrated this morning, went in there about 5am, saw some lovely colours in the sky, though I must get the camera, waited till I had done the necessary, by which time the colours had faded - no I was only a minute or two, honest, sorry if too much information! so no need to get the camera, straight back to sleep instead.

Today in Pictures was a bit fragmented as "Dads Taxi" was required.

1. Quick walk on the canal to get the day started.
2. Then after taxi duty it was a walk around Cutwood Park, and the reservoir beyond, Purple Loosestrife growing on the banks of the Res.
3. Walking the perimeter of the Res.
4. The wind was picking up at this point.
5. Heading back to the car as "The Big Shop" beckoned

They are very impressive in full flower, the spike is tall and treelike.

Thats a mental picture that will stay with me for a while, you should always have your camera, even in bed, you never know what will crop up, thats why pyjamas have a top pocket, even my nightie has one.

No, I've seen lots like that, in this country, I think, couldn't tell you where though - I meant I've not seen one at the "asparagus" stage - at least, not without flowering ones around to tell me what it is. It was really just a guess, trying to imagine that spike with flowers on.

No, my PJs are pocketless, perhaps that's cos they're not really PJs but a hiking base layer top and bottoms. Perhaps I should keep my old camera in the loo, for emergencies? I do keep my camera in the bedroom, which is opposite the loo, so not far to go really...

It was very windy during that walk, It messed up my quif, and taking flowers in the wind is a bit frustrating, they blow out of the way when you click.
The black paws also came with a wet underside and a wet posterior, he was walking along the edge of the Res, it slopes away, and his rear took a dip, he doesn't swim just paddles

Not really a fan of zoos as such but went to The Jungle park in Tenerife to see the flying display last year -worth seeing. Here are a few pics of the animals and birds. The lion scared me to death as it had an incredibly loud roar!

No I don't like zoos but those animals looked very well cared for. Also their surroundings looked more "natural" than they would do in UK. Warmer climate helps!

Took these at home on Monday.

1 Blackberries growing in the verge by the house
2 Basement door and steps leading up to front door. Pots and baskets don't do well here as they catch all the weather off the prom funnelling between the houses on the prom. They also need watering - but they got a lot of rain that night and yesterday! And there's a serious shortage of sunshine here. The coach in the background is parked in the car park you often see in my photos - there are often seven or eight coaches in there for the folks staying in the hotels. The blackberries in pic 1 are growing in the verge you can see.

The rest of the shots are of my agapanthus in a pot which have done quite well this year. There are two white ones but couldn't get the second one in shot apart from in the last photo which is taken looking down over the steps from the top.

Today in Pictures, a return to altitude.

1. On the way up the hill a Dung Roundhead in need of moisturising.
2. The top of Hapton Quarry.
3. Looking down over the firing range.
4. This looks like it contained some part of the bucket system that took material down the hill.
5. A job half done, I bet when they were put here (flagstones) they thought it would be for a day or two, not forever.
6. The spoil piles go on into the distance.
7. Three insects for the price of one, a butterfly , a soldier bug and a fly.
8. On the top of the world, and I find a bit of a cobbled road.
9. The underside of a spider, guarding the firing range mechanism.
10. The pond on the way off the quarry.

I wish my geraniums look like that! They never seem to do well on my steps because of the weather but I have this image in my head and keep trying! Either that or move further down the terrace where the weather is less vicious from the prom.

Today in Pictures, anticlockwise around Foxhill Bank, and a bit extra.

1. Down toward the stream.
2. Found it.
3. The water level is up a bit after the rain last night.
4. Along the top of the pond.
5. Then left up the other side.
6. A bracket fungi on the way up.
7. Along the rear of the playing field.
8. Found another young fungi.
9. Down the slope past the field.
10. Around the playing field on the other side of the road, and back to the car.

No Susie, you didn't offend at all, in fact I found it amusing! If I could master this posting photos business, I'd put one on so you could see how nice it looks in its more neutral setting in the bay window!)

Its about 10 years since my last visit, just thought today, as its a bit moist, a small walk around a new location, had it been a nice day I would have included the reservoir higher up, but that is for another day.

More steps today but the pics lead to a new theme - cats, brides and bikes...

When I was browsing through the Italy trip photos yesterday I came across these. On our travels we saw three brides in different places, not at the ceremony, just wandering about...

I also noticed some cat pics that had bikes in them - they're for Mrs P. Bikes in one of the bride shots too!

1 Ancona cathedral, couple being photographed. We saw them in other locations nearby as well
2 Florence, walking down the street
3 Near Calais, returning from a picnic on the beach
4 Fiesole, near Florence, stone steps and cat
5 Pienza, Tuscany, cat relaxing and bike shadow
6 Besancon, France, cat, bike and parking meters

Nice selection Sue - very Italian feel to the brides! Steps make an interesting theme - is the man in the Panama -Richard -very cool!;)

Dave your photos make me wish i was there -it looks cool in the leafy woods...

Am almost at the end of my tether here -the heat is infernal from aptly named anti-cyclone "Lucifer"!! We have hit 40°C on the last 2 days -it's expected to continue at least till Thursday:eek:

Have been leafing through my albums and have a new theme of statues...

1 Dante in Piazza dei Signori a Verona
2 Neptune in Bologna
3 Heller gardens Lake Garda
4 Dalemain
5 Slaidburn memorial
6 Installation of modern sculpture Bologna
7 Piazza delle Erbe Verona
8 Maryport

Gosh am glad I'm here in 20 degrees rather than with you! Much prefer the cold - at least you can get warm but if it's hot it's so difficult to get cool...

Yes that's Richard in the Panama - not sure I would call him cool though! he always wears a hat, not having much up top. That Panama has definitely seen better days, it's almost shredded now, being very finely woven and bashed about here there and everywhere. It's not easy to find Panamas in the shops these days, there are plenty on the net but would not want to buy a hat without trying it esp when forking out £40 or £50 for a decent Panama. He tried some on when we were in Cambridge a couple of years ago at the university outfitters but they didn't have his size. The search continues!

So now I've got to search my photos for some statues... will see what I can find!

Today in Pictures. 5 Arches and beyond. often walked up to 5 arches, but never started at the arches and walked up toward Haslingden.

1. Start point, the memorial garden.
2. Went "off piste" and found this wall, remains of a factory I presume.
3. Bet kids go in here, doesn't look safe to me.
4. Going further off piste found the waterway that fed the factory.
5. This pond fed the water channel into the factory.
6. Back on track, literally.
7. Almost at the reverse point.
8. If you think you are getting in my car..............
9. On the way back, a seed head of the Herb Bennet.
10. Almost at the car, and wash behind your ears.

Ha ha Dave have you had your magnifying glass out?

Pic 1, the statue is a lion, what looks like sunglasses is its open mouth!

Pic 4, not a cartridge - it's someone's lipgloss, must have dropped it...

Blow ups below just for confirmation.

Wrong on so many levels then, ( its a steps theme, see what I did there ) When you blow it up its obvious, shows I'm paying attention though.

Was very lucky, we went to a place called Rivoltella (near Desenzano) takes one hour from here - great evening out and the fish is delicious -see the following post for photos. Our midnight swim photos are censored, hadn't been skinny dipping in years!:D:eek::D

Well you certainly seized the moment there... sounds like a lovely evening and all the better for being impromptu.

We've been to Sirmione - went on a coach trip to Venice a few years ago and spent a day there on the way... it was March but still nice!

That fish has me drooling - nice to see a plate that's not piled with veg and stuff just pure unadulterated fish and more fish - I find overloaded plates a real turn off. Perhaps we'll have to take a trip to the Hark to Bounty for their £6 Fish on a Friday deal... had sardines last time I was there! Trouble is it takes as long to get there from here via the Trough of Bowland as it took you to get to Lake Garda!

Re: Today in pictures
 
Looking at that antipasto of lake fish - one of my favourite dishes in France is the assiette de fruits de mer - including crab, winkles, clams, langoustines etc etc... Takes about two hours to eat and you need tools but oh boy... The nicest one I had was in Reims which is nowhere near the sea... I have that while Richard has his steak tartare which is something else you can't find in this country.

It grieves me that now I live by the sea, shellfish here are almost non-existent - apart from the ubiquitous potted shrimps - which to me are a crime against shellfish and quite disgusting.

When I lived in Accy in the 50s/60s we used to get crabs and winkles and stuff on the market for Saturday tea - is there still a stall doing things like that?

But they weren't pastel, Margaret, they were blood red/orange - and those pics were taken on the sunset setting which is supposed to enhance reds and yellows...

Got some better colours on Saturday but they were taken through the window and there was too much reflection on them!

They still didn't have much colour when I did that, Frank. I think maybe the window glass may be taking some of the colour away - the best place to get shots of the sky here is the upstairs windows but they open outwards from the top so it's impossible to get a shot without going through the glass. I'll have to try doing some outside but there are really too many buildings in the way to get good pics.

Yes, that's true, but I can't open our windows far enough to look out as they open from the top and not from the side. We have Velux windows in the top storey (it's a four storey house) and they open wide enough to point the camera out of but the view is not so good from up there.

Yes they are pointing forward. We have to keep Max away from the fence to stop him getting the horns in his eyes. The Sheep is a big softie , if Max is not with us he will come for a stroke.

It was a real treat Sue as I'm not getting out much at the moment because of the heat!

Did you visit the Grotte di Catullo in Sirmione? Great roman remains there, really worth seeing. Sirmione village is lovely but absolutely heaving all year round.

The fish was excellent -grilled vegetables on a side dish -very healthy!

The £6 deal at the hark to Bounty sounds very good -do they do a proper fish pie I wonder, love it!:D

Yes we went to the Roman remains, and yes the village was very touristy but still - it was enjoyable.

I remember having grilled fennel and courgettes when we were in Italy - absolutely yummy!

Just been on the Bounty website, fish on Friday is now £6.90 - you can tell I haven't been for a while - was £5 when we first started going! It's a different menu each week depending on what they have bought in, we usually get there quite late and have to take what's left - can't remember if they have fish pie then but it's on their regular menu:

Fisherman’s Pie – Smoked Haddock, Salmon and Prawns served piping hot in a bowl topped with Creamy Mashed Potato and Cheddar Cheese. £11.95

Have to say I prefer it with white fish but seems to be the way these days - all the supermarket ones have gone down this road - presumably farmed salmon is cheaper.

Got to stop - I'm salivating!

Random acts of stupidity like that are so upsetting though...:(

Two pics taken from my back bedroom window at 18.45 hrs. There are blue skies and sunshine at the front.

I didnt come out on the road, I did a u-turn when I got to the ( I think ) chemical works, and went back down Woodnook Vale, but thanks for the offer.
Is that close to the garage?

Today in Pictures, I set off in bright sunny conditions and ended up with wet knickers.I deferred this walk earlier on in the week due to the slight rain, I saved it, until. it was thundering and lightening.

1. Pot House Lane start point, with a teasel, you don't see many of these today.
2. Down the lane, we arrived at Jackhouse Reservoir, it had started to thunder, but we did a Magnus Magnusson.
3. After a tramp through the grass, we found it, and followed the path anticlockwise.
4. Stinking heck were did the path go.
5. We had to climb down, what is holding all the water back?
6. After a climb back up we resumed, with the rain starting.
7. This is a spider, eating a spider, is that legal?
8. The top res is almost dry, but there is rain on the lens, and the grass and nettles are wiping themselves on my pants, and bob is getting the worst of it.
9. We make a push for the way out.
10. So there we have it, wet dog, wet pants, and a wish I'd done it in nicer weather.
