Today in pictures

1. Looking down at Sabden.
2. Some semi circular wall, perhaps for sheep to shelter, or shepherds.
3. The Craggs in the distance, and a wall vanishing over the hill.
4. The last time I stood here there was snow.
5. I didn't know it at the time but I snapped an Accy Webber.
6. Where the land meets the sky.
7. A cairn that changes in size and shape every time I walk passed it, Churn Clough at the bottom.
8. The fast moving clouds are changing the colours constantly.
9. Just climbed over that style, and now I am stood in the wet bit to take a snap.
10. A well weathered fence post, it could have been here for many years.

All great, but number six for me

Today it was wet and windy, it's no surprise that when I got home my knickers were wet, as was most other things, Calf Hey, Grane Road. Also there was no other soul about, strange that.

Thanks Had a succession of problems recently which meant abbandoning the photos for a while. Hopefully will get back fully into the swing of things again soon.

1. More of a day of wet bits, and close ups.
2. To early in the year for professional moistness.
3. So more of a practice.
4. I have a leg on either side of the bank, its a good job I am twelve foot tall.
5. Still very bare looking.
6. The leaves are just responding to the early warmth.
7. But not on a widespread basis.
8. If you look at the bauble closely you will see they have printed a short fat chap on it.
9. Time for a last splash.
10. I will return when the bluebells are out, and hope the scramblers have moved on.

Love your reflection in the bauble Dave - pink is definitely your colour

What a pleasant coincidence! While you were looking at the same subjects you have both got your own very personal take on them in the final results. A photographer's signature style I suppose. Great photos by both.

A selection of (mostly) winged-things.

The last photo is a huge lizard (about 1 foot long) which is quite rare, know as a Rammaro locally because of the green colour like copper oxide (Rame is copper in Italian) - a pensioner in the local village called me to take the photos - he has a number who live in his garden! http://www.bpo-natura.de/en/index.php?id=124

Wonderful shots, Dianne

Fantastic skies.

Just a quick update on the snowdrops and their blue buddies.

Last month's Sunday Flea Market/Antiques market in Cremona. First shot is vintage too - the beautiful 1938 Roll's Royce I came across shortly before the market in my local village, Castelnuovo del Zappa. Note the amazing polish on the body-work.

[Turtle]

I'd really enjoy having a good root around that market!

The Rolls Royce has a Caithness registration. It's a long way from it's original home.

How can you tell that Gremlin? I wonder if the owner knows?

I only had a few words with him - he was taking the car for a spin with his mechanic (wife in the back). First time out after restoration and he said it was from 1938. Do you know what model it is too?

[mobertol]

I just had a look on internet and think it could be the model known as The Wraith...

[Gremlin]

It is a 1937 Rolls Royce 25/30 and if the owner had let you look inside this is what you would have seen.
