Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Lovely shots from one of my favourite parks. It's been many years since I was there (50? Yikes!!!!). There was actually an enclosure filled with budgies back then, unless my memory fails me. Gorgeous views, and the closups of the flowers are wonderful! Thanks davemac :)

The budgie enclosure is now the shelter at the top of the path in picture number 1, the budgies went a few years ago now.

Restless -love that panoramic of the town center. Dave - can never have enough of your flowers and I love the photo of the memorial in Great Harwood and the one with the viaduct in the background. Off out now to do a few errands and then hope to take some myself - camera has been still for a few days! Not sure I'll manage to post today as my son is over later for a Mexican meal which I have to make yet for him and his best friend!

4. The underside of Pilkington Bridge.
5. Fosters swing bridge, that's a lot of bridges today.
6. Spanish Bluebells.
7. More Spanish Bluebells.
8. Down the lane and back to the car.
9. Wild Poppy on the way.
10. And a maturing Hawthorn, they get a pink tint as they age.

Mine was just a short walk up the lane and by the river -quite a few wickies and locals around and the Alps can be seen in the distance.

[QUOTE=davemac;1106087]Nice birds, and the moon has a lot of detail, I just get a blurry white spot when I try.

I had a go shooting the moon a few weeks ago one early morning when I saw it was pink

I don't want to dampen your photographic enthusiasm but we have been set a limit of 10 photos per day, but keep up with the postings.

Looks like you have got the same sunshine we have over here, but you appear to have more active wickthings than here.

I think your photographs are improving, if that doesn't sound to condescending , the first one is a cracker, followed swiftly by a splasher.

Not at all, but I think the biggest improvements to my pics have come from processing (and the new camera for christmas probably helped as well).
I do quite like No.1, but it was set up, I much prefer the spare of the moment pics, I find them a bit more satisfying if they turn out OK.
