Number 4 is unusual, to still be there after all this time, and I like the shapes in 5.

Today in Pictures, more than a moist moment. Remember the droplet season is almost upon us, so if you are getting involved, now is the time to give your gusset a coat of dubbin.

1. Here we go, Hameldon Woods.
2. New Beech leaves.
3. More Beech leaves.
4. A moist Hazel.
5. This is where the Bluebells should be flowering, they might be out by bonfire night.
6. A wall that once divided the woods.
7. Hapton Quarry, lost in the low cloud.
8. Just testing my droplet meter, it's working.
9. The meter found these droplets.
10. Almost out of the woods.

It's escaped being cancelled, as most were, because it's in a tiny hamlet in the middle of no-where. Those that remain are always in out of the way places -some in mountain villages famously have bullet-holes in them!

Love your last set of droplets Dave and I have a soft spot for a dry-stone wall too!

Everything is so green over there, a field of dandelions in seed, that is weeks in front of us.

I dont have a wine cellar, I do however have a bottle of Tizer under the stairs, is that the same thing ?

Today in Pictures, a dis-jointed affair today, I had to start early, I was required to fly a helicopter up to Scotland with vital suplies..........not really had to see my therapist about telling lies.

1.Whitaker Park, Rawtenstall.
2. Never been before so it surprised me as to how big it was, from the road it looks no size at all.
3. Despite overnight snow and frost on the ground flowers are still trying to come out.
4. Even the trees are trying to flower.
5. & 6. flowering current.
7. Looks like its crying, as its cold.
8. Different location, Cutwood Park and much later in the day.
9. With the wickthing filter on, these became apparent.
10. Coming in to land.

Just a bit of trivia, 10% of all the photographs in the world were taken in the last 12 months, so come on people we can do better than that.

Nice shots, sun and dappled shade, and it looks warm, its wet gussets all around here.
