The snow has all gone now, but it's grey, damp and cold. More white stuff to come before too long - just glad I don't live in Buffalo USA, only a few hours south of me. They had over 7 feet of snow in a record short time, poor beggars!
Your time and effort were worth it Carolyn. Would love to have been to your sale it looks really great - lots of original pieces which would make lovely Xmas presents - hope it went well

4. My mooching found the old service yard when this was Queens Park Hospital, now deserted and not seen by most visitors.
5. Up to this point my mooching have been retentively solitary.
6. It was visiting time by now, and the queue to get in was backing up to the main road.
7. Bumper to bumper parking, and £1.90p for three hours, the building on the left is one of the few remaining buildings that were part of the original mental hospital section.
8. And so to today, my old "mess room" at Haworth Park.
9. The trees are laden with berries.
10. Time to head back.
Your photos capture a mood, davemac.

Just a quick session with my camera before the heavens opened in Towneley Park this morning
A rather well fed squirrel - he senses a harsh winter maybe?

Re: Today in pictures

A walk this afternoon - very autumnal. I was hunting funghi to photograph and met a pensioner (Gian-Franco) who was looking for them to take home and eat! The bird I crept up on in a field earlier - there were a lot of them and I couldn't believe how close I got without them flying away! They were decoys laid by local hunters Luckily no-one saw me creeping up on them!

It must have been a lovely walk
Number 3 is gorgeous - well done with the mushie shots! You really got down to their level in number 8.
I would have been tempted to follow those 'birds' too Hahhah

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures was undertaken when a bit of sleet followed by hailstone was occurring as we set off. Therefore where can we go today, perhaps its time to wet the gusset again.

1. Not sure if that building has a name, it is at the end of Pot House Lane looking in the direction of "Ossy"
2. The new overflow appears to be overflowing more than usual, and has a lot of peat in it, hence the brown colour as it flows off "Ossy Moor"
3. And here we are at the wet bit.
4. At some point the water must get to a flow that moves those rocks.
5. Keep this viewpoint in mind for the last few photos, it will show how one gets a moist gusset.
6. A slight detour up a stream that feeds into the main one.
7. Another stream that starts its life on the moors.
8. Right....time to take this moist thing seriously.
9. Its amazing how easy it is to get wet right past your plimsoll line.
10. So having swam up the waterfall like a salmon returning to its spawning ground, time to look back, and think, I'm getting to old for this stuff.



So it was time to leave Jackhouse Reservoir and head for home, at this point I have a couple of dogs who are wetter than a very wet thing with extra wet bits.

No 1 - now that's what I call a house, lovely countryside too - I wonder if it's up for sale?
