Had a really great day out there Margaret -it's a beautiful place with amazing gardens. The woollen woods installation is really clever, it would be the perfect place to take your young "tinlids" for a day out as they could explore the woods and find all the creatures and plants which are displayed throughout -literally hundreds of them!

Today in Pictures, a rare outing at the moment, and spent with Dianne (mobertol), so it was a pleasure to be out and a pleasure to meet her as well.

1. A brief distraction on the way to Spring Wood, guess who !
2. If its not wet, you are not doing it right.
3. From this point on its Bluebells a G0-GO.
4. I told you it was.
5. What's that smell.........Oh its me.
6. Taking steps to snap bluebells.
7. Stumps and Bluebells, it will never be as popular as Dandelion and Burdock.
8. Its that smell again.
9. Say Cheeeeese.
10. They are cutting most of these down.

Dianne is out tonight basking in culture, but if she uploads the pictures I think she will, I may never show my face in public again, only joking, I will wear a balaclava.

Oh this is bliss - bluebells just as I remembered them! And the wild garlic is wonderful. Beautiful shots.
I'm so happy for you Diane, and just a little bit jealous I must admit! :). I look forward to seeing your photos too.
Dave I'm sure you wish Bob could be with you on this walk, but how happy for you to have fellow Accy Webber Diane enjoying the views in his stead.

There were carpets of bluebells and wild garlic, they were late last year so missed them at Spring Wood, so the timing was just right this year. I think Dianne enjoyed the outing as much as I did, and hopefully her pictures will expand on my contribution.

I do miss not having Bob by my side, and getting ready to go out, we have our routine and as soon as I put my coat on, he is out of his basket ready to come with me, I know it sounds daft but I have to sneak out so I don't see him dissapointed.

Here are a selection from today's really lovely trip out with DaveMac - much appreciated and thanks again Dave! He survived me nattering him to death and distracting him from his phoography :D I am leaving the close-up's as they are Dave's territory and my attempts were rubbish. My pics : Featuring him in his element (note his "trophy" dirty knee in photo 3) and getting down to business with a bluebell by cobbled steps later. Interspersed with my more general pics of the gorgeous bluebell display in Spring Woods. Finally a short verse dedicated to the Lancashire witches which is in the carpark where we stopped to have a rather nice ice-cream. :hothothot

Number 3....... A dirty knee! Now wouldn't that just go brilliantly into the present competition?
Great pics Dianne, but Dave looks decidedly lost without his ever present companion..... Bob.
Looks like you had a great day......and put your close ups on.....they will be relished by those of us who can't be out and about right now.
Oh, and by the way comparisons are odious.(just check out you signature as to what beauty is)

Your shots of the flowers are wonderful Diane. There's nothing more lovely than bluebells en masse, and you certainly did them justice. And you even managed to capture the elusive davemacious intrepidus, resplendent in all his moistness!!!

I DO like that.....I hope it doesn't go to his head....no, of course it won't (nurse will see to that).
You do know that this is an endangered species...don't you?

All these were taken around Jumbles Reservoir. Nos 2 and 4 were on the opposite bank of the res. I've got to get used to the settings yet.
