Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Another fine afternoon, so with camera & hound we set forth once more off into the uhloo to discover ancient, modern & something in between :)

I had just finished my washing up and saw the cat on the roof opposite.
My little pocket camera was on the worktop charging and I had just time to snap the cat. I took them through the window, luckily the window cleaner had just been earlier.

Useful tip -will give it a try.

Been walking out during the middle of the day lately so the light is much stronger - better to go late in the afternoon to get some llight/shade in the pics - early morning is good too but I'm not a lark :D

The cat has very interesting markings -was probably hunting birds!

Re: Today in pictures

I have just looked up the butterfly and think it is probably a "Wall Brown".
