Lovely snowy shots from all. Great icicles, that beautiful Robin and Rob's shot of Riley's swing bridge and the canal is great too! Snowing here as I write -we're expecting a lot by all accounts too. Hope to get some shots but my camera is playing up!

Cheers - I enjoy playing around like that - think Mrs P does too!
Yes, I do...and believe me I was tempted....that is the kind of picture I would put on a Christmas card.......I would print out the picture(on silk paper), stick it with sticky pads onto a pine green card(so that the pic was slightly raised away from the card) and use stick on sparkly greetings....with my own verse inside.......I keep telling myself I missed my way.(I am deluded, I know)

Just wanted to thank everyone for their pics of Accy in the snow. We haven't had any at all here, and even across the bay I don't think there's much on the hills. Looking at the Met Office maps we seem to be at the eye of the storm, with all the snow circling around us and nothing directly over us. So it's nice to see somewhere where it has fallen - and still looks pretty!

You can have ours. I'll send you some in a plain brown envelope.
No, it is only silk finish photo paper as opposed to glossy paper.

Today in Pictures,.........with a smile on my face, and a song in my heart, I headed out to play in the snow.
1.Right......who ordered the snow cone, mines a bowl of chilly.
2. The stream between Childers Green and Castle Clough.
3. It's the ford.
4. Top edge of the clough.......chase me.
5. Someone left their xylophone out in the rain, and I don't think that I can play it.
6. I came all this way for a moist moment.
7. So then we head back along the Clough bottom, sounds like a case for Germolene.
8. When I took this there was a bloke tucked into a crevice taking photos of icicles, is that strange or what.
9. If you are looking for the footpath.........its the wet bits.
10. So there it is, full circle, all that remains is the walk back to Huncoat Stocks, to the car.
1. After a walk to Church Kirk, down the lane to Hyndburn Brook.
2. Erosion is still happening.
3. Heading toward the "Dunk".
4. Almost at the Dip.
5. Across the road and in the direction of Clayton Fields.
6. After a few barbed wire fences, a bit of the Brook I have never walked.
7. A Private fishing lodge, or so the sign says.
8. Past the weir, and heading for the park.
9. It is getting dark, perhaps its time for home.
10. There it is, almost at the start point, and it has gone dark.
Today in Pictures........it looks like its snow scenes for a while.
1. Winter Jasmin putting on a brave face.
2. Chilly Ivy.
3. Larch in the woods.
4. Its just like slipping off a log.
5. Cotoneaster berries.
6. The last time I took this photo the sun was shining and the birds were singing, now its snowing and my teeth are chattering.
7. Bell Lane.
8. Bell Lane looking back to the canal.
9. Heading through the woods towards Wilson's Playing Field.
10. Time for a left turn.
