Accrington Web - Today in pictures

I`ve been trying to get a pic of that bird in 2 & 3 for a few weeks (Grey Heron I think), seen it down by the river, on the canal and various ponds but it flys away before I can get anywhere near.

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.

Have some been removed then? They are a nice sequence of colours in the moon shots. Like Dave, I can't get any definition with my camera when I try to capture the moon.
The cat is lovely - I used to have one just the same called Rufus. I like the photo with the three window panes especially. :)

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

I agree you've come on leaps and bounds - a bit like the dog in the first picture :D I didn't realise you'd encouraged him to jump -not as critically observant as Dave. I envy the way you can get birds too , I can't get near enough. Lovely reflections and I like what you did to the sky in number 4 too.

The pics were captured using The mode photo sphere.... which you've seen before from me... The mode that is designed to create a photo that is a 360 pannible (is that a word) from the photographer's perspective. But in these photos I just simply do not complete the arduous process of the entire 360.... Which creates IMHO a better and larger panoramic photo....if not a confusing one :)

Thanks m, it was on the lodge at the side of Asda this (glorious) morning.
I stalked it thinking it may fly off as I got close, turns out it wasn't fazed in the slightest by my presence :)

Todays pics have a theme, they can all fly (or will be able to in time) -

1. Got the Heron, to get any closer I will need a boat.
2. Or a crop.
3. After that you are going to have to swallow a spider, then after that it`s cannibalism
4. These things are fast as ....
5. Too slow, I wanted to catch it beak in water.
6. Gosling eating bread.
7. Resting on a wall.
8. An experiment, this thing was hovering a few feet in front of me.

I went off on my bike today - stopping in Cortetano to see the donkeys which are used for riding for the disabled -they were having their hoofs trimmed. The rest are in the village -more tomorrow... :)
