Oh yes it should!

Today in Pictures, I appear to have cornered the market for moist moments, and for having a damp gusset as a result.

So without explanation, I give you, Oak Hill Park in the rain, not only the park, but I was as well, also my four legged friend.

Gorgeous flowers Dave -the park looks bloomin' marvellous!

Something a little different today : Lessons in Western-style horse-riding with Dick Pieper a real cowboy over from his ranch in Oaklahoma. You can tell a real cowboy by his boots 'n' spurs (his are hand-made and initialed) and by his buckle(the bigger the better)! You might spot a red-indian in one photo and there was a prize for the longest plaits.

I was that busy trying to keep the rain off my equipment I didnt have time to take in what was around, but you are right.

Dean Clough Reservoirs, nothing much had changed since my last visit.

Bright and windy lots of fair-weather clouds around. A selection of snaps of what is going on around the farm today. Managed to do a few close-ups of some wick-things - one very acrobatic pair on a blackberry flower were definitely up to no good! Found some men at work and some major bottle-washing going on...

The sky in No 1 has interesting cloud formations, and I like the composition.


p.s. good work with the wickthings.

Today in Pictures, a walk up the hill (Pendle) with low cloud cover, it was a day when you couldn't see your hand in front of your.......YIKES WHERE'S MY HAND.......oh there it is in my pocket.


1. Its uphill from here.
2. Churn Clough Reservoir.
3. Its getting smaller.
4. And smaller.
5. The Craggs.
6. This is the top for us.
7. I'm not lost, just mooching.
8. One day that will fall off the rocks.
9. Not far now, back at the reservoir.
10. Here we are again, with the reservoir vanishing into the distance.

I like the bottles and chair, especially the clean bottles and the chair with cobwebs on it, and thank you for the wickthings.

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.

Love your photo's

The photo of the black swan is very interesting Dave. He sure is along way from home, I reckon about 20,000kms. He is native to here Western Australia and the Black Swan is the emblem on the Western Australian flag
