It looks like you had a lovely day out (even more jealous now ;))
The view from the pier is my favourite :)

Remy, is a rescue dog. I spent a few minutes talking with her owner. I asked if I could take her picture. I have put it on my Flickr page so that her owner can take a copy if she wants to(I told her I would do this).
The lady eating the ice cream also gave permission for me to take her picture. It looks like the ice cream was good.
I had a lovely day out. I didn't go to the shops (well, other than for a sandwich and a drink) I just spent the day taking snaps.
So apart from the cost of my butty I spent nothing.....zero, zilch.

I was hoping someone would know what they were. The ones in pic 9 kept disappearing under the water.

3) From a distance.
4) The Pier was busy today.
5) the obelisk at the end of the pier.
6) The Gallopers were earning their keep today - whizzing round.
7) the view from the end of the pier.
8) Specially for Davemac....some rippled wet stuff.
9) Taking pooch for a walk.
10 View of Blackburn from the top of the bus.

8. is not quite right, you have to be sat in it, nice summery look to them, and busy as well.

That's an interesting collection, the weir is very impressive, and the birds.

Today in Pictures, a visit to a favourite location, Pendle Hill, a very windy experience, and as the sun was shining a few people were knocking about.

1. Walls, walls and more walls.
2. More walls, and a hill in the mist.
3. Sat in the wet moss you can see the sedges are flowering.
4. That's a struggle for a little fat chap.
5. The trig point is coming into view.
6. Strewth, not another one.
7. I bet you were thinking you hadn't seen any pink sphagnum moss this year, well I found it.
8. Stuff grows in strange places.
9. Rocks on a rock.
10. A watery sun.

I know it isn't quite right Dave.....I was on the pier, the puddle of rippled wet stuff was by a stanchion.......anyway, I didn't have a spare pair of undergrunnies with me....so I wasn't sitting in it and having the folk on the bus back home think I was an incontinent old woman. :)

Yes it was quite busy...especially on Lord Street. I will soon be able to call it leafy Lord street......the greenery is now starting to sprut......by next weekend! Oh no......Next weekend it is Welsh Wales for us.

MargP - I do like to be beside the seaside... You can't beat certain things "British" -looks like it was a lovely day out.
GP - very nice shot of the Grebes and bunnies - wildlife is the hardest thing to capture.
Dave - for me it's 1 in first place - dry stone walls are on a par with cobbles (in their absence especially) -10 is in second place.

I think 3 has to take 3rd place as I sat in the wet sphagnum for that one.

^ There used to be a really nice hand-made chocs shop in Lord Street aeons ago Margaret, I wonder if it's still there -I used to love the window display and occasionally treated myself to a violet cream or a rose cream with little crystallised flowers on top! :) There was also a very nice Victorian Arcade -almost as nice as Accy's!
