Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Today, an amble around the coppice.

1. Lots of tree chopping going on.
2. A view of the farm.
3. Some birds.
4. That`s not how dogs are supposed to sneak.
5. Duke having a run.
6. Playing in the stream.
7. Cobbles always look best in B&W.
8. I think I might invest in a wood burner.
9. Ever get the fealing you`re being followed.
10. Time for me to fly as well.

Lovely set of photos - especially the ones of the dogs, Spire's Farm and the cobbles which is really good in B&W - is that Plantation Road?

They`re drawn to mud, thankfully, they like water as well so they tend to clean themselves.

I was wondering if you had some kind of special washing facilities at home - out in the yard maybe! :p

We made the best of the sunshine today and went to Formby

You did the right thing -get that Vitamin D in while it's there! Taks me back -we used to go for days out with my Grandparents when little -picnic on the sands - afternoon tea on the way back in Freshfields (I think it was?) I seem to remember red squirrels...

That is a beautiful photo of Max -one of the best I think! :)

No, nothing special, just a bucket of warm water.

Today in Pictures, it was just a gentle mooch today, from Goldacre lane to the edge of the reservoir and then a bit of a shuffle around the stream and back to Goldacre Lane.

Driving past some farmers fields yesterday, I saw the biggest bird of prey I`ve ever seen, it was huge, just stood there in the field. From the RSPB bird identifier it was a white tailed eagle. Pulled over, got my camera, sneaked up to the the gate, click, nothing. clicked again, nothing. I`m thinking come on you stupid camera, frantically pressing the shutter and altering settings, nothing. The bird flew away and my camera started to beep. I`d been messing the night before and left it on timed shutter release.:mad:
