Picnic Bench



We have had a few weeks of snow.
It just start to clear when down it comes again followed by the frost.
While walking in the park this picnic bench in the snow caught my eye.

Broken Tree


Found this broken snow covered branch while out for a walk yesterday.
Taken in our local park.

Common Nettle

Common stinging nettle but I just liked the leaf shadow on the larger leaf.

Bygone Bathing Belles - sepia


A couple of weeks ago our local council organised a Bygone Days Fair in our little shopping precinct with olden times attractions. These lovely ladies posed for me in their swimwear of yesteryear. I tried to give this photo a feel that it had just come out of a photgraph album where it had been for some time. Hope you like it. I will also put the original colour shot up so you can see the lovely colours of these outfits.

Mammoth

A Mammoth is a large extinct elephant with a hairy coat and curved tusks.
On my day out 'photo hunting' with my friend Loretta I found this one on top of Mammoth Hill at the Watermead Country Park , Birstall. He was quite happy to pose for me, lol.

Watermead is a two mile long park, with a wetland area and lakes. An ideal spot for walking, fishing, cycling, picnics, birdwatching and watersports. Plenty ducks and swans on the lake, and loads of dragonflies. It is adjacent to the canal and a river.

Hollyhock

In the front of the Unknown Garden there was a line up of hollyhocks in various colours.
I took this one because it looked a bit on the shy side and still not fully open.

Unknown Garden


While on a day out and about I saw this garden and thought it looked wonderful so I just had to take a photo of part of it.
