Now that's something I don't think I could ever do - stand there and let someone throw sharp projectiles at me! A true test of your friend's faith, I'd say :)

Because My pics from Saturday didn't go on the forum until Sunday...my Sunday pics(which aren't the least bit exciting) Had to wait until today.
So here they are.....just an afternoon walk along the canal bank as far as the Pikington Bridge.
1) Blue Barge.
2) Red Barge.
3) some kind of duck and her ducklings
4) Wild flower - I haven't the foggiest what it is. I'm sure Dave will know(he's a mine of horticultural information)
5) Duck sunning herself on her nest - have forty winks I think.
6) Woodbine(the plant) not the fag...also known as Honeysuckle.
7) A damsel fly.
8) Two Damsel flies....doing what damesel flies do to make sure they don't go extinct.
9) A leaf made shiny by honeydew.
10) Rosa Canis...a wild Dog Rose.

The people who stood there were all volunteers from the crowd and I don't think they had any contact with the show previously.
They did take a little bit of persuasion apart from the young girl in the white.
The "Indian" also had a bull whip and used it to cut paper in his partners hands.
She held the strip of paper and it slowly got smaller until her fingers were only two inches apart. he was a bout 8 feet away. I did notice she closed her eyes for the last crack of the whip.

I like the photo of the two insecty things ( No.8) Margaret. I wonder if it was father and son out for a stroll.

From what I can see, it looks like the small flowered willow herb, not as "blousy" as the large willow herd that looks you in the face, this one is often overlooked as it is small and not covered in flowers like its cousin

Those are two damsel flies(I think) and they are definitely not father and son!

See Dave.......I knew that you would have the answer.
I nearly overlooked it too. It isn't very colourful.

Tedster is OK as long as you keep a leads length away, otherwise he will strangle your ankles.

Nice Lincoln:D I agree with you on the Mustang ... I had a '67 Mustang with a 390 cu in ... back in the day when cubes ruled and gas was 45 cents a GALLON:eek: It was all downhill after the Yom Kippur War:mad:

Not from today; but here's what's under the hood of my Caddy ... I like a V8 ... old fashioned and politically incorrect, I know; but I'm that way.:D

Yes, it's a beauty T,totally crackers but still a lovely bird.
It's been left while its owners are away in France and I assume it's a little stressed due to its new surroundings etc.

Today I walked the canal bank, to whalley road...then down to Hyndburn Bridge.
I got pics of the bridge over the river stink...the one Dave told me about...and then made my way to the field to see the donkeys........but the donkeys were right over the very far side of the field.....could see their legs but not much else.
Had to make do with shetland ponies...and shetland pony foals....aaaaahhhhh!
But you will have to wait until tomorrow to see these pics :D

A mixed selection taken around the farm this evening -hot off my memory card. Lots of swallows busy raising their young -these are low down in the pump room of the milking parlour. The new building extension which will house 150 extra cows is going up quickly - like a giant mechano set. A couple of shots of hay around the farm (they're busy doing the second cut of the year today), some of the farm cats and new kittens and finally I caught 91 yr-old Remo passing the gate on his way home after his daily constitutional - he is now in his summer gear! :hothothot

Nice summer selection, number 9 looks like it has a story attached if I hadn't seen the ones either side.
