A walk along the canal today, coming back over past Whinney Hill quarry, then back along the canal.
1 & 2. Sniffing for something.
3. That water isn`t calm for long.
4. Cobbles look good in black and white.
5. Two donkeys, one shy, one not.
6. Not going that way.
7. A field of geese.
8. Soon turns into a field with no geese.
9. It`s not been a good walk if they come back clean.
10. Loads of mushrooms.

Today in Pictures, Out the bottom end of Foxhill Bank nature reserve.

1. A once busy workers footpath.
2. Over the wall into the Nature reserve.
3. Muddy steps.
4. The wet bit of the reserve.
5. A circle of seagulls.
6. Its one of the few fungi still on the go.
7. It looks like not everyone had a merry Christmas.
8. Once these steps were that busy with feet they wore away.
9. Coach Road, and steps that went up to the big house.
10. Not a standard railway bridge, when the railway was being built through Church a local mill owner objected to the railway being so close to his new house. Mr James Simpson had the railway company fancy up the bridge, it was built with alcoves and terracotta balustrades to be more pleasing to the eye when he had to travel underneath on his way home.

1. Start point, but in the other direction.
2. The line of trees is Goldacre Lane.
3. Through a muddy field.
4. Same field, differing light.
5. Not long before sunset, and I am in the middle of a muddy field.
6. The temperature is dropping as well.
7. Once a small holding.
8. The sun is now on the horizon.
9. There had to be a wet bit.
10. Heading back up the hill.
Lovely shots - nice effects of light and colour. No. 7 is a particular favourite!

Nice capture of the iridescent green on the mallard's head, and great cobbles!

#4 and 5 could be paintings. What an interesting story the abandoned roses suggest - if only they could talk, eh?

Just grabbed my snap camera and shot these through the window. Not very good quality, but you can see the birds, I think. Incidentally there's snow on top of the ice now.
1. There's a male cardinal in there somewhere!
2. These are red polls (I looked them up).
3. a Bluejay - beautiful but raucous-sounding birds.

Lovely shots Carolyn.....the quality looks fine to me.

Today in Pictures, wet and windy, I had to tie my flat cap on.

1. Start point, St Mary's Burial Ground.
2. Heading through a soggy field.
3. The clouds are whizzing past.
4. Pendle Hill in the distance.
5. At the end of the wall is the Millennium Baby Wood.
6. The soggy field we just tramped across.
7. Back across the same soggy field again, I do like slutchy strides.
8. The clouds suggest snow, but it just keeps away for now.
9. Back into the Burial Ground.
10. Have you met our Ivy.
