you actually got the sunto set nicely for you tonight. Too dull in Accy.
Just luck that I happened to be looking out the window at the right time. It was actually better a few minutes earlier but there was a camera malfunction and I had to do a bit of tweaking before I could take any pics.

I'm impressed with your wildflower knowledge today Dave... Just to say I think the wild potentillas are usually called cinquefoils.
That is one dirty dog - hope you didn't get so mucky - otherwise me and Mrs P might be paying you that visit like she threatened yesterday!
Its not down to knowledge, its searching for the right flower on identification guides.
I actually had a damp posterior and mucky knees (I was in shorts as Mrs. P. will confirm). You cant get closeup shots without getting down with the flora. So I'm braced ready.
The sky at night, from your Morecambe correspondent... about 9.15pm.
Apologies, couldn't help bits of window frame in some of the shots - the attic this time, not the loo!
The first three pics are looking over Lancaster towards the Bowland hills, the others are over Morecambe Bay.
I cant compete with the sunset pictures, nice colours, couldn't see the window frame at all, looked like buildings, so If you hadn't said we wouldn't have known.

Some brilliant pics there Dave.
I would love to be able to take pictures of insects, but if I am honest they scare the britches off me(I'm a wuss and am afraid they might bite me sting me or worse...run up my trouser leg). I don't mind snails, but slugs are repugnant....another 'boy' thing I guess.
I chickened out today.....the tinlids got mini laptops for getting brilliant school reports, so I was loading them with music, pictures, videos, word processor programs and a couple of games.
I was flavour of the month when they got home from school.

Great selection today Dave, especially the slugs and snails! Oh... and the woodlouse is my favourite!
I would say that is definitely not sweet cicely, that flowers much earlier and will have set seeds by now. Easy to recognise when you do fiind it (I have it in my garden, cook it with rhubarb as a sweetener instead of adding a lot of sugar). The leaves smell of aniseed when crushed, and the seeds are about an inch long and taste of aniseed - good to chew if you have an upset stomach.
Having said all that, not easy to work out what it is, could be wild carrot, fool's parsley, hedge parsley etc. Withe umbellifers a lot depends on leaf shape, flower bracts etc - things that need a close scrutiny.

I am definitely going to look out for an Observer book of British wild flowers........it would be useful and I would share it with Dave.

I went out ready for the rain, but it stopped fine the whole way around. It was warm actually. I think there is always the camera between myself and the wickies, and if a slug ran up my leg it would have to get past my bike clips first.
