Accrington Web - Today in pictures

A selection of photos from today's wander.
1 New oak leaves
2 Is this a Campion?
3 Brown and yellow butterfly
4 Rowan sapling coming into leaf
5 A furry friend frollicking friskily - fern fronds unfurling fairly close by ;)
6 More flowers
7 View back to the farm
8 A new thistle
9 This tree doesn't look very alive
10 Elderberry just about to come into flower

You have it with the wild geranium, I would have said the butterfly could be a speckled brown had you been here, but not sure for where you are, and its a rabbit romping in rural realms with rather risky roamings realistically.

Nurse the medicine has worn off, nurse can I have a noggin of night nurse for nocturnal nombrilism....................iv got a headache now.

A few from today, up to Rowlands Gill, Gateshead (the Red Kites were a bit shy today) then back the hilly way.

Some atmospheric shots there.

Today in Pictures, not far from home today, and more or less in the same place, but hopefully with a slightly differing viewpoint.

The Wharf, Leeds Liverpool wet bit.

Shame I couldn't go yesterday, bluer skies and probably more kites, but what can you do?

You have to work with what you have.

Looks like it was a bit of a grey day - nice to see somewhere I used to go past so often -walked home from school along here many a time! Number 9 is my favourite.

1-4 - photos of the first day the new heifer barn was inaugurated, all shiny and new -the ladies seem to like it!
5-10 - new irrigation system on it's first official try-out yesterday evening - it's all plumbed into an underground-pipe/pumping system, so no tractor's are used to pump the water. Clever stuff and it works.
The man on my bike is Alberto, the farm owner, he usually drives one of his Ferrari's -though you wouldn't know looking at him that he could afford one! :D

Re: Today in pictures

I was getting a bit excited there Dianne, I thought it was slurry they were spraying.
Brought back a lot of happy memories.

Re: Today in pictures

Dianne, your pictures are lovely.....and I really like that you call the beasts 'ladies'.

Dave.....I have a cure for your nombrilism......I will replace your belly button with a press stud. :).
It will only hurt for a minute or so.

I took the children to West Beach one afternoon...they played on the keep fit equipment. I was tired watching them...it didn't make them sleep longer.
In fact, I think it gave them energy.

The first picture is a sea snail...nothing much of interest in that but the barnacles to the right and above it look like a skull
Oh, yes...you can see that I carried on with the good ' stick to your ribs' grub.

#4 sucks;)

Re: Today in pictures

And there I was...Thinking that one would be your favourite Eric.
It was lovely.......and what is more, it was one of those meals I could prepare ahead of time and stick it in the oven while we went and 'played out'.
The top was all crusty and cheesy.
Being out and about meant that everyone had good appetites....it is the sea air that does it.

Great pics, bud, esp. the last two. Always fascinated by the cut. That looks like the bridge off which I took a drunken tumble;) Surprising there isn't a plaque or something commemorating the event.:D

Yeah ... and we're getting a nice breeze off the Pacific rite now ... it's giving me the munchies, or something is;)

I took a couple of pics the other day ... but I resisted the urge to show them. They were pics of ... wait for it .... :theband: SNOW:eek: But I thought that you had had enough of those.:D

Eric...I thought you had done with the snow.
For a second there I thought you were going to show me a picture of home made Moose Pie:).
