Yesterday and today in pictures.

1. The only thing I could find interesting in Milnshaw Park.
2. Hagg Lodge.
3. And so to today, behind those trees lies St Mary's Burial Ground.
4. Not much colour in the forest at the moment, and when there is colour it's brown.
5. Are those droplets looking at me.
6. He's just a fungi to be with.
7. A whole herd.
8. Puff Balls.

Duke`s certainly missed his playtime in the water, good to get him back out and about.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I never noticed any dogs whilst I was there.

Nothing exciting happening until I was just about to go out and saw these characters in my garden, I had my trusty Panasonic pocket camera handy and took this shot through the patio windows.
Luckily the cleaner had just left and cleaned the glass inside.
I will clean and fill the bird bath before I go out. Cheeky devils should help towards the water bill.

A pleasant 3 mile circular walk around Roddlesworth Reservoirs.

Driving past the airfield on the way home tonight the "FW 44 Steiglitz" was out undergoing engine trials, she's looking quite smart now with her red trims and prop fitted. (see post 7742 for how she was when last seen) :)

Thanks for the photos Dave, great shots of the valves and pushers.
It seems a bit odd to have the rockers and springs exposed. There doesn't seem to be any where to bolt a cover over them either.
A bit of grit between the coils and a valve sticks, no fun at 5000 feet.

The exhaust system must have taken some very accurate fabrication.

Good on yer Scouse.

You'd of thought so wouldn't you, but apparently that's the way of it. The Siemens halske sh 14 was the original engine for this aircraft & by the looks of things it appears to be an original.

From Tuesday, a new walk for me not far from where I live: Hungry Hollow trail in Georgetown. It was named that after a pioneer who found conditions less than favourable! I enjoyed this trail, and hope to do it again as the seasons progress. It's in a well developed suburban area, and seems to be appreciated by dog walkers (as apparent from all the doggie-doo I had to dodge - shameful!)

1. The nights have been cool, so no mosquitos today in this swampy area. I'm glad of that!
2. It's called Silver Creek, apparently.
3. I think it's a bat house, but could be for birds too, I guess.
4. Bright red berries - don't know what kind.
5. Sign showing that there are beaver, muskrat, kingfishers etc. in this valley. I didn't see any.
6. Golden Rod - it's everywhere.
7. Orange flowers - the sign called it Spotted Jewel Weed (Impatiens Capensis). Thank goodness for signs!
Pretty pink weed - maybe Himalayan Balsam?
This morning - walking around the track - a very different start to the day.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It`s getting dark way to early now, so just a few night time canal pics from me

Nice set of photos - but that's the best shot of an English robin I've yet seen :)
