I did say give me 15 mins ... I had to text my niece back ..shes wondering how the tedster is ... lol

Re: Today in pictures
 

I thought you were joking.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Wish we were there on your walk, but we went to St.Annes on the Sand Dunes with one of Max's mates Dylan the Border Collie who was on holiday there

Re: Today in pictures
 

New toy! Did the deed & picked up a Lumix FZ62 so having a proper play. :)

Distant wind turbine, seen from the balcony, the Grimlin, a wildy & an escapee in the garden.

the factory is a straight line distance of about 3km

Re: Today in pictures
 

brilliant pics Jen. If I could have got the pork to leap into the oven by itself...I would have been there with you.
It looks and sounds like you had a very pleasant walk.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I am sure we will do it again Margaret.
I enjoyed it but didn't make it all the way to the end.
We turned round with about a quarter mile to go.
Very sedate stroll, plenty of benches to sit upon and lots of little things for Dave to get his trousers wet bending down to photograph them.
I am sure Jen will invite us again and if anybody who wants to go and needs a lift to Baxenden don't hesitate to ask me.
No dogs or smokers allowed in car.
I have just had a jacket spud followed by rice pud and half a bottle of Best Aussie white plonk, got into my night attire and will soon be in bed absolutely exhausted, but in a happy sort of way.

Thanks for the afternoon out Jen and an excellent pot of coffee.

By the way, the offer of a lift only extends to within a couple of miles from Accrington so don't ask DiG.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Typical! You throws it out there ..... then whops a great big caveat on it! :D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Ooh..that's my kind of toy. I have the FZ18......and the Lumix G.
Great pics from your new toy Son.....keep them coming...put some in the comp now you have a great bit of kit!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Aye not bad Ma, the machine does the hard work, I just point & press, simple actions for a simple mind. :D

I may enter the comp on occasion , but more often than not I just nose through other folks piccies & vote. :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Looks like a lovely walk!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have the TZ30, 20X optical zoom and 20X digital with 14MP sensor, very handy little pocket camera, smaller version of yours but fits in my inside pocket easily. All the settings you need but Intelligent auto is the one I use most.

The Nikon D7100 with all my lenses is getting a bit heavy to cart around, especially with the 800mm lens, that has its own tripod bracket.
The little Lumix with the Leica lens is almost as good in most situations and the one I use more than the Nikon..

I have been trying to upload today's photographs to the site but it keps saying web error and refuses to upload them. I have even resized them down to below the accepted level but still no joy.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Where do you live Dave? I am sure I have seen that brewery thing on my travels but can't place it.

That's still not an offer of a lift.
If the Euro Star ever gets extended to Walsden I will be willing to collect you from there.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, Accy Webber's on the rampage, I say rampage perhaps a meandering.

1. I think she said "don't come home until teatime".
2. Wet bits with ducks.
3. This time ducks with wet bits.
4. Looking back at the gate we just came through.
5. This is tucked away over a bridge and round a corner.
6. I found a sculpture, well not so much found as came across it, well not so much came across it, as had it pointed out to me by Jen (shillelagh) I would have walked straight passed it without noticing.
7. On the way to Shoe Mill.
8. Entrance to Shoe Mill.
9. Now I think this might be a first, if you go to page 320 post 4799 picture 5 you can see me taking this photo and I think Jen got my arse just right.
10. Last shot of the outing, cup of tea time.

Re: Today in pictures
 

you did find the owl tho ...:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

I would not have known what it was though.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Now it's my turn to post photos of our walk.

No.1 Speaks for itself.
No.2 Tedster.
No.3 Bob.
No.4 Dave, doing what he does best.
No.5 Trees and water
No.6 a Bridge too far, but I kept going a bot further.
No.7 An old platelayer's hut, probably has a different use now.
No.8 Stile type gate, whatever the correct term for it is.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Two more from yesterday's walk.

No.1 I can't resist taking photos of old machines.
No.2 A flower for Jen for inviting us along.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A bit of a correction, I must have not had my head screwed on correctly as I described this as Lowerfold Park, It is no such thing, its Memorial Park, Gt Harwood, I was however thinking of visiting Lowerfold Park and that must have wedged in my cerebral cortex. I don't know why, but I woke up this morning and the mistake was on my mind, is that sad or what !

Re: Today in pictures
 

Is it me, or am I developing a bold spot, I've never seen the back of my head before.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Wouldn't concern meself oer that its sod all to be moidering oer.

Re: Today in pictures
 

No I don't think it is a bald spot...it's just where your cap has pushed the hair down a bit.

Re: Today in pictures
 

aww thank you gremlin .. my sunflowers are doing well .. :p even though a caterpillar decided to take munchies to the petals ... thing is it was too high for me to knock it off!!! :D

it was nice to meet both of you and if anyone wants a wander down the lines .. i'll come along .. im on tedster duty for the next couple of weeks and as gremlin and davemac are still alive after drinking one of my brews yesterday .. i'll make a brew after ...

Re: Today in pictures
 

No worries! I did wonder at the time, but put it down to my own faulty memory
LOL

Re: Today in pictures
 

They certainly are scraping the sky! Nasty caterpillar, but they have to eat too, I suppose. My pathetic little sunflower is struggling along - it threatens to flower soon.
Wish I could come on a wander too, but it's just a bit too far for me to get there.
Thanks for the karma you sent a while back - I just found out yesterday :)

What the eck is that in number one photo Frank?

Re: Today in pictures
 

It is supposed to be artistic. Painted on the wall of Accrington College in Sandy Lane

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks, I suppose that is what they call modern art. Not what I would like on my wall.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I know, but I'm only 21.............(I wish)

That's a bit of a worry as I had it in my pocket, think what it would have done if I had worn it.

Nice placement of the cow patty in No.3 (Tee Hee!)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, a slight dip into the realm of moist moments.

1. At the entrance to Memorial Park.
2. Straight into the moist moments without a safety line.
3. Wet bits on a leaf.
4. More wet bits on a different leaf.
5. This one is for Turtle.
6. So is this, the full panel.
7. The pull of the moist moments is strong.
8. Wickthing on a wet bit.
9. They only last a day, that's why they are called Day Lillies.
10. Last snap, time to head home.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you dave mac. It means a lot!
Turtle.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Let me know if you get the others OK.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I noticed that on your walk with Shillelagh, Gremlin & Davemac not one of you dare to point your camera at Jen or post the photo of jen:p:hidewall:

Re: Today in pictures
 

The Lens aint been created thats strong enough to withstand her.:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Glad you said that cashy and not me:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Dare taken up Dave.

Seeing as Jen posted a photograph of me looking scruffy and unloved I see no reason why I shouldn't post one of her.
We met at the pub car park and it is a long way to the start of our walk. I drove down and the photo was taken while they were making their way to catch up with me.

Sorry about the quality, it was just a quick chance shot from a distance away, Jen is the one on the left of the picture.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Russell, don't talk yourself down...you didn't look scruffy in any of the pics I looked at......and I looked at them all! :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Did you look at post 4799 Margaret?
I looked a right mess with the old jacket, flat cap and trousers hanging loose around my boots.
I changed as soon as I got back to the car.

Then back to my usual hobby.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, many thanks, they arrived. I can't wait to show them to my Aunty! She emigrated from Great Harwood in the late 60s (she's 87 now), and she's told me many stories about her Uncle Dick and how he joined up to escape working in the mill. I would also like to post some of them on my public Ancestry tree, only if you're ok with that. I would give you credit, of course. Dave mac, you're a star!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its OK to republish the pictures in whatever form you wish, they are now yours. If your Aunty would like to see any place or spot let me know,its no bother.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes....I looked at all he pics.....I thought you were suitably dressed for a walk in the wilds(well, semi wilds).

Re: Today in pictures
 

Out wi jen, its exceedingly wild.:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

After my little jaunt on Sunday I thought I would have a walk around on my own.
I parked my car on the Gamecock par cark and WALKED down to the Cock Bridge and back again.
Then I drove down to my mate's house at Clayton Hall Drive where I got out of my car again and took some more photos, that time I never strayed more than ten yards from my car, afterwards I had to go into the house for tea and chocky biccies to get my strength up to drive home again.
See, I told you I could walk alone after all.

No.1 The name of the bridge.
No.2 Looking down into the river Calder.
No.3 Back to looking at water, from the other side.
No.4 I walked in to a field and this is the bridge again.
No.5 Lane down to Clayton Hall, taken through windscreen.
No.6 Mum and her two chicks on the Hall lawns, the only two left out of eight.
No.7 The Hall.
N0.8 Hall and gates.
No.9 It says "Gated Road" at the top of the lane but one clown came down while we were stood talking and had to reverse out again. It is possible to walk all the way to Martholme Grange on the path, according to DaveMac.
No.10 Heading back home, taken through windscreen.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, around "the pines" as its known locally, its the wooded area just above Dean Clough Reservoir.

1.This is a good start, face down in the dirt.
2. We are only into Autumn by a few days and the trees are starting to lose colour.
3. Muck up the nostrils again.
4. I am so low taking this I am below ground level. (wood sorrel)
5. Downhill toward the wet bits.
6. As close as we get to the wet bits, its now back uphill.
7. Pendle in the distance.
8. Almost back up the hill.
9. Big trees.
10. Last shot, time to turn around and head back to the car.

Re: Today in pictures

Re: Today in pictures
 

I would love to accompany you again Jen but; I don't think I could manage to put up with two dogs trying to do three laps around my ankles, with their leads trying to cut of the blood supply to my feet.
Tedster was enough, he kept me jumping around like a Morris dancer all the way, all you did was laugh and tell me three laps was Teds record.

Re: Today in pictures
 

it was davemac that said 3 laps was the record .... :p

Re: Today in pictures
 

Have you never had a dog , Russel?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Bit personal that ain't it! :eek: Never you mind what he got up to in his younger days ..... sauce!! :s_aim1:

Re: Today in pictures
 

For forty years there was at least one dog in our home.
Apart from the eight guide dog puppies my late wife trained over the years she also was a volunteer foster Carer for the Hyndburn stray dogs in need.
She managed to nurse and get well a few dogs who went to good homes.
We also had dogs of our own, a few pugs and Alsatians and one or two mongrels over the years.
Apart from me and a little love bird the house is empty now.

Re: Today in pictures
 

They reckon the quiet ones are the worst

Re: Today in pictures
 

Since Shillelagh took us for a walk last Sunday I have got more adventurous and strayed further afield, I think she should be helping me pay for the clog irons I am wearing out.
Yesterday it was Cock Bridge and Clayton Hall.
Today I did about two miles around the canal bank at Barrowford.

No.1 Starting from the lower car park.
No.2 Looking along the canal.
No.3 More locks.
No.4 The reservoir looked a bit low.
N0.5 Lock keepers cottage.
No.6 Boats moored at the highest point on the Leeds-Liverpool canal, the locks are all downhill from there on.
No.7 A very welcome sight, a brew and chocolate cake later and I was ready for off again.
No.8 Sorry ducky, nowt for you.
No.9 Green reflection in the water.
No.10 A leaky lock.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The butty van's never there when I go there. Did you go up to Foulridge tunnel?

Re: Today in pictures
 

No Frank, as a beginner to this walking lark I am only doing short ones.
I had thought of driving to Foulridge and taking a few pictured there but finished up at Barrowford instead. Maybe the tunnel will be next on the agenda. Weather permitting.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm saying nothing. ;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

If you don't mind travelling a bit before you walk. The canal side at Glasson Dock is a nice walk. You can walk as far as you want and back to Glasson Dock for a pub lunch

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yep, that was me.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures took me from St Mary's Burial Ground to the Millennium Woods and back again.

1. Start point the burial ground.
2. I was going to say a couple of Ladybirds, but on close inspection I don't think one is a lady.
3. The direction we are heading.
4. Big trees from little thingys.
5. Puff Balls.
6. You wait for one, and two come along at once.
7. Looking over to Hapton Scouts.
8. You wouldn't want that flying up your nostrils.
9. A gate not used for a while.
10. The direction we are now heading.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice ones Dave, where are the Millennium Woods?
It could be another new experience for me to go there.
My car is a 4X4 but my legs are really only good for firm level ground so I am starting my walks with nice gentle strolls.
The camera is good company and is a good excuse to keep stopping for a rest.

I am still a bit stiff from Sunday but loosening up a bit now.
A good bottle of McGuigans gold label white Aussie plonk is a good lubricating agents for weary bones.
Jen told me about a Transport Festival at the East Lancs Railway Museum at Bury on Sunday.
That's more my interest so hopefully I will be there.

I misread her text, I thought she said she was going on her Velocette.
I was visualising her with Tedster clinging on to her while sat on the pillion.
Now that would have been one photo worth waiting for.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its right next to Martholme water treatment works, its not very big, a tree was planted for every baby born in the millennium year, and a board inside gives the names of all the babies born in the borough that year. I link the walk with a stroll through the field to St Marys Burial ground, I would say it is flat but a dirt footpath, and not longer than 30 minutes walk.

Look forward to the pictures of the trains after your visit.

Jen was going to use the Velocette, but she changed it for the Harley.

Re: Today in pictures
 

A few more from yesterday.

No.1 A "Happy snap" as I call random shots.
No.2 I carefully avoided the white mushroom like things, they are there hoping people will trip on them and go for a dip in the water.

No.5 He looked annoyed because I didn't share my choccy biccy with him.
No.6 I can see four bridges there.
No.7 Looks like a bonny place to live.
No.8 Just another "Happy snap".

Re: Today in pictures
 

Good on you for getting out and about, Gremlin. I like your "Happy Snap" appellation - one to add to davemac's rather descriptive "Wet bits" and "Wick things". :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some great close ups!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, Mercer Park and a bit of the Churchyard.

1. The Autumn flowering plants are just starting to make an appearance.
2. Mercer House, for a short time this used to be my office, bottom right window.
3. Begonias are still trying their best, other summer bedding has given up the ghost.
4. Looks like a Campanula, but will throw that up in the air.
5. Just a couple of ends after lunch.
6. Looking up toward the memorial.
7. Have been stalking this butterfly all summer for a good shot, the Speckled Wood Butterfly on a Sedum.
8. Growing on the "footy" area.
9. In All Saints Churchyard, a Brittlegill Fungi, one day I will be on the floor like this and someone will give me CPR.
10. I went all giddy when I found this, its a Giant Polypore, the size of dustbin lid, it's the biggest fungi I have come across so far.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It must have been a special outing for you! Great shots.
Is the gentleman in #5 playing bowls? (or 'bowels' as my Grandad used to say in his best Snuffy 'Arrod accent).
I recognize the begonias - they're a favourite of mine because of their intense colours. There's a frost warning here tonight (Boo Hiss!) so mine might bite the dust, sadly.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Went for a drive with hubby today to pick up hard-to-get deli items in the next town.
As the weather was so nice, we took the scenic route. I snapped photos on the way back with my cell phone camera.

1. There's a bend in the road coming up.
2. A tree (taking photos to distract myself).
3. More trees (not a Top Gear moment today, thank you. Hubby is restraining himself)
4. Going a bit faster now.
5. Better watch out: there are four- legged beasts afoot!
6. Fence made of tree roots.
7. Ah... Ice Cream! (Not really, we stopped for apples)
8. A Happy Snap.
9. Another Happy Snap - I just liked the colours. Fall is just around the corner, got to make the most of days like this.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It was only a quick walk as Bob had to go for his booster shot mid afternoon, and yes bowls was being played, there were three people whizzing the woods about.

Its a bit early for frost here, however rain is forecast for the next few days, begonias are a good choice over here as they tolerate wet conditions very well, and thrive were other plants just die.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Nice selection, and a sunny day as well, Autumn over there can be spectacular.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, it was forecast for rain, and rain it did.

1. Look at this and play the theme from Coronation Street in your head.
2. The lane between Lower Barnes Street and the Hyndburn Bridge pub. The fact that it is cobbled means it must have had some importance when industry thrived down here.
3. Due to the rain there has to be a moist moment.
4. River Hyndburn as it heads for the pub.
5. Change of direction, same river.
6. Wet stuff all around.
7. Just time for another moist moment.
8. Alright then, one more.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'll bet you were in your element today.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I did think when I set off that moistness was on the agenda, but was sad to say it was the wrong sort of rain for too many moist moments.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I was only thinking recently that this must be the first time for months that you got your gusset wet.
It has been a spectacular summer.......and has been fine and dry for most of the school holidays.......and the children must be laughing, now they have gone back to school, and taken the fine weather with them.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Sadly at the moment I have lost the enthusiasm. Might sell my camera. Afterall I will prob keep upgrading phones and eventually end up with 300 mega pixel by time I am daves and gremlims age

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its only the last few days that I have had to put my waterproof jacket on, I have gone right through the Summer without it, I wonder if this indicates a rough Winter?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Enthusiasm comes and goes, but if you sell your camera and it returns you will be sad.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Good advice....Will take it into consideration

There is a photo I want to take..... I am stuck on this idea for a picture but do not know how to go about it. I want to stand in the middle of Accy Stanley(even though I don't like football and yet I wear a Stanley hat) and do a photosphere.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Lovely shots, in spite of the rain. What are the flowers in the last two? They look like some sort of orchid!

Re: Today in pictures
 

If you want to take it, ask the groundsman when he is knocking about, or do you want it full of spectators ? Or write a letter to the club, I am sure they will assist. Whichever way, do it.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The weather here has started to be wet, and with that brings with it more opportunities for moist moments, and I do like to be out in all types of weather, especially the frosty bits.
The plant you see is a very common weed here, Himalayan Balsam, and has become very invasive, but it does have a nice flower, it can get over 6 feet tall. It was introduced in 1839 by Kew Gardens as an ornamental plant but soon escaped into the wild and became the problem it is today, along with Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed, another two plants that are invasive and push out native species.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Just go down the club & have a chat with them, you may be surprised Rob. X years ago we came to Accy to have a look at the club & take some photos, it was closed season & ended up chatting to the groundsman, he then asked if we'd like to go inside the ground, he then took us in & gave us our very own personal tour, stands, onto the pitch, changing rooms etc, I could take as many pics as I liked from wherever, they couldn't have been more accommodating.

From that point on we've made the effort of visit Accy & were possible take in a game or two (at the same time having the dubious honour of meeting up with some of the denizens that frequent these pages! :D)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Love those cobbles, Dave! The pic of the cyclamen in the previous set was really good too - signs of autumn there. Love the bowling green pic too!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I agree with this. So far this year my opportunities for taking pictures have been very limited...but I would not consider selling my camera's(I have a few).......I am not into taking pics with a phone.....my phone doesn't do pics and I really don't envisage having one that does.
I have an Ipad, but find it very limited for taking pictures.

I would only sell my camera's if I was very short of cash(and they wouldn't be worth much) and had a pressing bill to pay or no food to eat.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Once you have bought the camera, what follows is, to all intents and purposes free (unless you print out) and to sell the camera would result in a loss as you say, you never get what you paid for the thing in the first place.
So it makes sense to put it to one side until enthusiasm returns, we will be here when it does

Re: Today in pictures
 

Have snapped that set of cobbles before, but the rain gave them a bit of depth, I did however walk back up after taking that snap as they were as slippery as a very slippy thing with slippy extracts, and I fall on my posterior enough without pushing my luck. The Cyclamen were they only clump in the park that I could see, you can get a feeling that Autumn has truly arrived when the fungi are coming up all over the place. My next project is Autumn colour, the leaves are just turning but nothing photogenic at the moment.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I just found out we have it in Ontario too. Pretty, but nasty :(

Re: Today in pictures
 

It has to be a bit on the sturdy side to live up the Himalayas, its related to the busy lizzie plant, it is planted out for summer and used as a pot plant as well, they both have the exploding seed pod to scatter its seeds.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I think empty would be better. It would be a bit weird spinning around all over the place in front of the spectators :D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Full would be interesting though Rob.......I like people in my pics...it gives them life.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Driving along Hyndburn road today I saw a sign advertising a Model Railway Exhibition in the Hyndburn Sports centre. Nowt better to do so I popped in for ten minutes and came out two hours later. I was amazed at the quality and size of the layouts, it's on Sunday as well if you fancy taking the kids or re-living your youth.

No.1 Looking down from the balcony.
No.2 Wishful thinking.
No.3 Station that never was. (I think).
No.4 Liverpool Lime street station.
No.5 Ditto.
No.6 An American paper mill model rail yard.
No.7 Proper smoke from model shop fire.
No.8 Another busy station.
No.9 The big layout was controlled from this panel and run to a strict schedule.
No.10 Part of the big layout.

If you look closely at the last picture you can see the effort the modellers have put in to get it as authentic as possible.
Notice the policeman frisking the chap outside the cannabis cafe, in the window of the Wilkinsons Hi Fi shop at the end there were two tiny model TV's flickering away in the window.

I was lucky that I always carry my little pocket camera with me.
