Dianne, I'm not being picky, but isn't the first picture a Magnolia tree?

I only know because my dad always longed for one and I bought him one......it didn't flower until the 1st anniversary of his funeral.......and only had a couple of flowers on it at that blooming.

We are still waiting for the blooms this year.
Lovely pictures...all of them.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, I'm sure they said it would be like the Mediterranean weather today, wet and windy was what I found, it damaged my vajazzel.

1. Flowers around the car park.
2. We haven't left the car park yet.
3. We are off, the wet bits.
4. We head up toward Dinkley.
5. The river is at a low level today.
6. Still not many flowers, just a burst now and again.
7. Still not sure about the Mediterranean weather.
8. The suspension bridge comes into view.
9. I'm just glad I brought my waterproof pants.
10. The bridge, from this point we head off to the right, and away from the wet bits.

Re: Today in pictures

2nd lot of pics from yesterday's walk. As to the Camelia /Magnolia -I don't know -asked the old lady in the garden when we were chatting and she said a Camelia!

The canal is having the banks reinforced at the moment because they are being eroded away by the work of a creature called a Nutria (bit like a little beaver!) they are a real pest over here and cause lot of damage -there's a photo of a family of them on the banks of the canal and one of them in the water!

Well today's number 3 is definitely a Magnolia stellata - a shrub/tree I have always wanted.

As for the little pests - nutria is another name for the coypu which caused a lot of problems in Norfolk and thereabouts, having been imported and farmed when fur coats were all the rage.

Many escaped and damaged the drainage works, and a concerted programme by MAFF eradicated them by 1989. However, in 2012 a 'giant rat' was killed in County Durham, with authorities suspecting that the animal was, in fact, a coypu.

You could try eating them:




Coypu meat is lean and low in cholesterol. While there have been many attempts to establish markets for coypu meat, all documented cases have generally been unsuccessful.

Re: Today in pictures

Lovely set of pics Dave -great to catch the horses like that and I love the hyacinth. The trees look to be further behind WRT here - probably just needs a few days sunshine as well as the odd shower of rain to combat the drought you've had this winter, to get spring well and truly underway.

The Coypu are a real problem here - and like in Norfolk escaped or were liberated from specialised farms. They breed at the speed of light, burrow into banks causing extensive damage, eat the shoots of crops and also cause quite a lot of accidents on country roads as they grow to be quite large. Farmer's here can apply for a licence to shoot them.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, it was that windy today it would blow the skin off a rice pudding, serves me right for taking a rice pudding out.

1. Pendle and the Coppice and sat in the basin Accrington.
2. Hiding behind a wall.
3. Same view as the first but a bit lower down the hill.
4. Heading up an old cart track, looking over to Baxenden.
5. I must have fallen over.
6. Baxenden again.
7. A long forgotten barn and possibly a farm house.
8. Dropping down the hill.
9. why are the downhill bits always steep.
10. Last view before the car.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, is really a bit of yesterday and a bit of today. I think this shows the spring is here, the winds are strong and the rain is a bit warmer.
