Saw this on my way to work this morning, Cemetry on New Lane.

That's a big tree to come down - looks like it only just missed the church!

Nice shots! Number 1 reminds me of flying over my city in a plane, so the angle works for me. Number 3 is my favourite though

I do hope Davemac isn't out in this inclement stuff.
I have just come in from daughters house and the rain has icy bits in it.
If he is out I hope his mother has a clean vest and socks warming in the oven!

That's what happens when you wet them in the fountain.

I certainly was, and as they say, you have to be in it to wet it. (but I wasn't out long).

Today in Pictures, a moist but brief outing to the park.

1. So that's a wet knee to start off with.
2. It's already wet, so just carry on.
3. It just seems a bit early for this flower, last year the sun was bouncing off my head, I am partially there, as something is bouncing off my head.
4. Hyndburn council employ a new driver, he has a woof first day.
5. Although it didn't stop him cocking his leg up on the tyre.

And with that it was home to the oven.

By the look of the roots it has been partially dead for a while.

I guessed as much, looked to have snapped just below ground level.

It was pouring down and I thought to myself Dave will be out in this.......the kind of weather you wouldn't send a dog out in...and you are out on your knees snapping greenery and plants...lad, you must be mad!

It is an early flowering dwarf variety, but it still is a month early, it should not be out until March.

It certainly was an unusual day, as you say, you wouldn't send a dog out, yet I snapped a man, dressed as a dog, and he was out in it, sort of a triple wammy. Yet I am inclined to think you may be right about my collection of marbles being a few short.

Being in a restless sort of mood I was just mooching the site and I noticed this particular thread has had 204,433 views, I don't know, but is this a large number ?
