I was asked a few weeks ago to be the photographer for various activity groups at The Todmorden NHS medical centre.
Last week they had a visit to Ossy Mills. this week the art group visited the Yorkshire sculpture park where these photos were taken.
I haven't a clue what it all means but the art group enjoyed the day,
A lot of the photos I took were of the groups posing with the statues so they now belong to the Medical centre.

Of course it is, just not as cultural as an unmade bed with used tampons strewn around the floor, or a perfect set of bricks that the artist couldn't be bothered to put mortar in the joints, the only things lacking from the pile of potatoes is a naked lady with a peeler in her hand. What a night that would be! Chips with everything!

Well, it was flippin scrochio today, first I went to Embsay Steam Railway as there was a classic/vintage car rally on

1. A 1970 Dodge Charger and in the background a Morris 'Woody' Traveller - I hired one in Plymouth in around 1985 for a week when I lived there to travel around Devon and Cornwall (I was a student at the time so couldn't afford my own car) for a week. I remember there was no synchromesh on 1st gear, which meant you had to be stationary to get it in first gear - cost £5 a day to hire....

2. Watched some steam trains..

3. And as I had time to spare I went to Brimham Rocks - as the last time I went it rained after the first hour of being there - today though was absolutely scorchio.... and was like an oven up there - mind you it seemed like every man and his dog where up there climbing the rocks...

Blackbirds Fishing and a Mink at Whalley...

I've seen Crows fishing, and Dippers and Herons and Gulls, but this is the first time I've seen Blackbirds do it. I guess they've been watching the other birds...

First time I've ever seen a Mink let alone photograph one, fairly hefty crop as it was 80ft+ away

I seem to recall that it's thanks to some animal-rights (sic) nutters that mink have spread like a plague, taking a lot of indigenous wildlife with it.

I've read the same thing, however (according to the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust) mink farms were first established in the 1920's, by 1956 they were reported as breeding in the wild and by 1967 were to be found in over half the counties in England and Wales.

I'm sure you're right, but down 'ere in 'Ampshire, they had a little help to wipe out other river bank wildlife.
