Re: Today in pictures
 

well, these weren't taken today...but they were taken last Friday.
I took a jaunt to Hebden Bridge. I had done this the previous Friday, but the day turned wet and i found my camera battery was dead...I had a spare, but that had only enough power to poke out the lens and tell me Goodbye.
Being that Friday was sunny I decided a revisit was favourite.
My batteries were charge and the camera's were too.
Here are a selection of my pictures.
I hope they give you the feel of a very pleasant day.

1) A Canada goose on the side of the river.
2) sitting in the sunshine(taken from under the bridge)
3) the square in Hebden Bridge...just look at the sky, it could be July
4) A group of folk in Mono.
5) The flea Market...no there were NO fleas.
6) A man playing a funny instrument...but ti sounded sweet.
7) some little girl would love this.
8) Spring blossom.
9) My love of reflections won.
10) whoever heard of a bike in a bush?

Oh Dave, how I miss the Monty Python Sketches,:hehetable I suppose they are not allowed to re-run them with today's (cannot upset anyone)brigade.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I think they are still available, but you've got to put up with the snowflake & trigger warnings beforehand.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have all the Python Albums on vinyl, no snowflake warnings on them.....
