Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Gremlin, those photos are brilliant, especially the first and last.

Don't think we have a moon in Morecambe any more. Haven't seen it for days. Or should that be nights?

Eeew hek, glad I didn't go for butchering ... :eek:

Loved your 'photos and subsequent post of the farm, Mobertol, a good and interesting insight into someone's life.

I looked every where for it but couldn't see it. I know it was about because Davemac had just posted a photo of it, I also knew where it should be.

After while I took a few snaps of things in the sky and just as I was about to get back to my beer the moon came rolling down the roof of a house a hundred yards away. It must have been hiding behind the chimney stack.

nice sky shots, how do you get the birds to look like birds, mine look like smudges

6 Seat on the canal basin. I would have fallen in if I'd gone any further back!
7 Not mush room under here- mooring bracket on the canal side. Sorry Marg you've made the same joke on Flickr!
8 Nice name for a leisure boat
9 Not far to go from your boat if yo want to do some DIY...
10 Going into town now - nice pub in the main street, no didn't stop, was tempted

More tomorrow...

Sorry just noticed posted from the wrong set of photos... a couple of those should have been cropped - using new software - does all sorts of silly things.

Nice collection, those canal shots look like a cared for stretch of water, with a bit of cash spent on some seats. The seats around here are either at ground level and your legs go out horizontally, or they are overgrown and you get your nuptials nettled.

I went out half hearted today.....it was grey and there was a hint of rain in the air...yes, I am one of those fair weather photographers.
I normally take between 30 and 40 pics...today a paltry 14 and 5 of those were dire enough to require deletion....anyway...these are my offerings for today.
All in all, a right load of old bowls.

Today in Pictures, I'm easily distracted.

1. Went for some walking boots, noticed this on the hillside, lost 45 minutes somewhere.
2. When you said, my house would be heated by the sun......I sort of thought........ solar panels,........... not roof tile reduction.
3. Berries on a Berberis.
4. Olympic seat scandal stretches to a friendly at Mercer Park.
5. Common Knapweed, a subject for colour isolation I think.
6. Grass seed head with a wickthing. thats the scientific name for a creepy crawly.
7. wers me dog.
8. Oh there he is.
9. Grass seed head this time bearing pollen......wers me anky.
10. This is the famous frog hopper, it resides in cuckoo spit earlier on in the year.

Re: Today in pictures

I came home from Ma's the other day with one of those frog hopper things on my jacket. You know how I said I had cured my insectophobia?
I lied......I nearly set myself on fire trying to get my jacket off......I was that fast...chucked the jacket into the yard...frog hopper bug too.....beat the said jacket with a fly swat.....then got himself to check if the bug had gone. Not so brave when they are on my person.

Dave, I think your berberis is berberis darwinii...the berries and the leaves are poisonous

Re: Today in pictures

Well unless you believe Wikipedia...it says the berries are edible and rich in Vitamin C...I think I'll stick to oranges for my vitamin C.

Sue will know.......till then I'm not trying them.

just looked at mine 3 minutes past 3. I wasn't avoiding you, I was stalking.:bingobang

If you treat those frog hoppers like tiddley winks they vanish at the speed of light. Just touch the back end, you wont see it move, its that quick

Like your shots today esp the grass and knapweed - and Bob of course! Haven't tried any closeup shots yet - have to go looking for some long grass in the cemetery at the back.

Re: Today in pictures

Believe me....I won't be taking any chances with them. I don't want 'em close to me.
I want something between me and them...and yes......I know my jacket was between us, but I didn't like it on me...the frog hopper...not the jacket.

you are correct, it is darwinii, if you look at the out of focus background you will see the derilict farmhouse that I spent 45 minutes climbing up, over, through, and under.
