sunny fine days are a bit of a rarity around here, and short lived when we get them

Today in Pictures, a walk through the woods is a very green affair, with a few moist moments.

1. A lot of green today.
2. A bit of blue as well.
3. The start of the moist bits.
4. Heading up the stream bed.
5. 6. 7. more moist moments.

8. This is a bit different, I had to walk down stream to get this photo. The bed was sandstone slabs and covered in algae, and on a slope. Both my feet vanished from under me, and shot up to head height in an instant. There was a moment when gravity was defied, then applied, and I horizontally descended into the stream with a thump. I then had a muddy wet stripe from head to toe, just like a skunk, plus I now smelt like one. As I looked down at my feet,through the "V" that was formed as I was lying there, I could see Bob looking at me thinking we were playing. So now I have had a horizontal moist moment, so you don't have too.

9. Back to the green bits.
10. Finally a dry stone wall going nowhere.

Doesn't look like there are many bluebells out yet. I love the mossy dry stone wall photo.

Dave, could you do the moist moments photos more often look very good, and then that's another string to your bow

The bluebells are very sporadic at the moment, I think another couple of weeks before they get to a full bloom point.

the only thing that stops me posting more of moist moments is the daily total of 10.

I do post a few more on Hyndburn Webb https://www.facebook.com/groups/180568218734634/ although you do have to be invited onto this thread.

Also there is my flickr thread, (link at the bottom) Flickr: davemac43's Photostream


And just a moment to blow my own trumpet, I have had a few pictures selected for this months submissions on the Q.I. website, use the sideways arrows to get to my pictures 7 in total about 7 in. QI : Quite Interesting

Thanks for the interest, and if you have any pictures please post them on here as we would like to see them.

I forgot to say in the post, the woods are Hameldon Woods, up Burnley road coming out of Huncoat past the roundabout and on the right just before you get to Hapton. There is a layby for about 4 cars.

Today in Pictures, another walk through the bluebells, this time Cutwood Park.

1. Marsh Marigolds, just through the gates.
2. Not a lot, just enough for a hint of blue.
3. What do you call a white Bluebell, a Whitebell ?
4. The Rhododendrons are giving a good show.
5. The black Swan is back, and I think I know where it goes when it's not here.
6. My guess is, it is the one that is a feature of Ossy Mills.
7. Do you think that Hoverfly is having a poo ?
8. I forget the name now !
9. Time to head back.
10. That pollen gets right up my spiracles.

I may have missed a post, but I don't know what has happened, and it should be in pictures as well !
