Accrington Web - Today in pictures

They certainly do Margaret - the can be a real nuisance! I used to find the odd one even in our bathroom in the house we used to live in -they can get everywhere...

You should have done Mick. You might have made him a convert to Accyweb.

When I was in Preston Last Monday I was taking pics of County Hall and an old polish chap came up and spent nearly half an hour chatting to me. He wanted to know why I was taking pictures. I told him that I like interesting architecture.

The promised "Procession" was a bit of a damp squib -they no longer walk here from the little shrine down the lane -all a bit too old!( The youngest person was the priest (dressed in dark trousers and pale blue shirt) I went on my bike to take a pic as they'd put fresh flowers there - then all the partecipants arrived at the chapel in cars.
It was quite nice as they recited some rosaries and then sang an Ave Maria - I was outside listening as the sun went down.
Lots of remeniscing about the old days -when loads of people turned out and they processed with a band from the village and there was a big reception held in the farm yard with barrels of wine :D

More attempts to capture some nature, but not quite what I had hoped for to enter this latest Comp. I can sit there for ages, and as soon as an interesting creature appears I raise my camera, and the little beggars scarper! Oh well, it's lots of fun trying.

Davemac, where are you? I haven't seen a post from you in quite a few days. I hope all is ok with you and yours.

1. The elusive Ruby Throated Hummingbird - this one's a male (he has the ruby throat!)

2. My friend the Pileated Woodpecker. The noise he made drumming on this tree was quite impressive.

While the standards are very high for the comp, I think both of those are very worthy Turtle.
