Is hubby in 6 ? if its not 6, then its one of the others.

Correct Dave -he's the one in the red top looking at the photos. He's usually with his back to the camera as he gets fed-up of me loitering about taking pics and goes on ahead!!

Lovely photos again to look through -great reflections, flowers and Dave's insects are really good.

The sign seemed to be "promoting" the area?

I had to say driving past it had me fooled, but parking up and taking a good look, it is not my dog, but very similar, still well spotted.

Shame! That would have been great fun if it had been your dog!

Today in Pictures, the flowers are starting to catch up on the season, Mercer Park just before the BIG shop.

1. The wickthing detector has a new set of batteries.
2. Its a weed, but worthy of a picture.
3. On the way out now, the leaves are coming on.
4. Primula, this has shot up over the last few days.
5. So has this.
6. This has been flowering for a while, but the colour is a bit brighter in the sun.
7. I don't know this, but it is Lilly like.
8. Do I know you, your face rings a bell.
9.Elephants ears flower.

Today in Pictures, clear blue skies, it has to be a steep climb uphill.

1. A baby Larch cone.
2. The tide is out at Calf Hey Reservoir.
3. The climb has started.
4. I did knock, but no one at home.
5. Stopping to change oxygen tanks. Helmshore in the distance.
6. Found it, a mooch around Musbury Heights.
7. A moment for reflection.
8. Time to abseil down.
9. Helmshore again.
10. Some building that probably housed machinery, could have been some sort of winding gear from its location.

An early morning walk from the tyre fitters back into Castelverde along the cycle path -it was market day. Bought some fresh bread and battered salt cod (very traditional here for a Friday). Saw some beautiful flowers and the first, near perfect poppy. Note the bunch of garlic hanging by the entrance to someone's allotment -to keep away unwanted guests perhaps?!

It would be a good shot from up the clock tower, is it open to the public.

You have cornered the market in the 360* so I will leave those type of photos to the man who can.

I have already had a couple of expeditions to the turbines so wont be going back up anytime soon, so take your time I wont be racing you to the summit. When I went up there was two foot of snow, and you can only take so much fun and I have had mine.
