  1. Sorry Geoff. I know the pain of this too from our previous pets. Always hard. Paul.
  2. Thanks Polly Enya's soundtracks are wonderful for cinematic videos - just the right pace for the scenes. The horses were lovely to be with - they featured in most parts of the movie so I figured they deserved their own moment at the end. Paul.
  3. Thanks Geoff. Arnside is a lovely seaside visit, especially when the tidal bore is due, though this tower is a couple of miles away. Paul.
  4. Arnside Tower, Historical Ruin Situated about a mile and a half outside of Arnside, and to the South East of Arnside Knott, Arnside tower is a spectacular and almost unique example of a Cumbrian pele tower. The oldest building in the parish, the tower was built in the late 14 or early 15th century. These fortified homes were not built as castles or fortified as strongly but were built as towering homes that could help protect the area from Scottish raiders. Arnside Tower stands astride a natural limestone knoll, with the sea protecting it on one side and marshes on the other. The main entrance was through a pointed arch on the north-east side and this gave access to the central staircase. A smaller entrance was constructed later on the south-east side and there was a second staircase in the south corner.In 1815, Arnside Tower was sold to Daniel Wilson of Dallam Tower and the tower has been owned by the family that reside there ever since. In 1884, a great storm hit the coast, with devastating effect. The south-west side collapsed along with the central partition wall. The tower has remained in this ruined state to this day. Music by Enya: The Loxian Gate. Paul.
  5. THanks Martyn - you can still go up the steeple on given days - the church does organise it, usually on a Saturday. I'm guessing that Pendle Hill is clear in the distance on this video Geoff? Paul.
  6. Cheers Geoff, must be a few bugs in your woods now... Paul.
  7. St Walburge’s was designed by the architect Joseph Hansom and completed in 1854. At a towering 309 ft, it is the tallest of any parish church in England. This spectacular spire is also the third tallest in the UK, giving you breathtaking views over the city. is a major, unique attraction for visitors who can climb the 173 spiral steps to obtain a magnificent 360 degree view over Preston city and westwards to Blackpool and the Irish Sea coast. St Walburge's is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The rose window is a beautifully-coloured circular window, 22 feet in diameter. The colour of the spire contrasts to that of the main body of the church because it’s made of a different stone- a limestone full of fossils. The Medieval leper hospital of St Mary Magdalene once stood here. Music: Enya - So I Could Find My Way. Paul.
  8. Thanks Colin - I did of course exercise extreme caution... Paul.
  9. Thank you Kerry Still early in the boozing season Polly, once it starts proper it's like a insects' bender going down in the garden! Paul.
  10. I took an environmental photo first of a couple of wasps on an a fallen apple, then once I was happy that they were happy, I went in closer. Paul.
  11. Cracking portrait Billy. Paul.
  12. Lovely colours too Mark. Paul.
  13. Nice one m8, I'm on with some of my wasps now... Paul.
  14. Great depth of field on this - lovely focus Billy. Paul.
  15. Standing proud as punch posing! Paul.
  16. Plenty of choices this last week for me to look through and so many good photos but my favourite was by Monkey in the red kite series. Nice and detailed and considering the extra effort required with the equipment, I think the last image just about wins out. Original thread here: https://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/58517-red-kites/ Well done Monkey Paul.
  17. Steatoda bipunctata - rabbit hutch spider, and a small centipede that just wouldn't come my way... Paul.
  18. Two, neither really in a good position to get the best shots. Paul.
  19. Thanks Geoff. I've known it could do it for ages, but rarely take a photo, let alone a 360... Paul.
  20. The drone can take a mean photo as well as video: 360° Photo Paul.
  21. Well done Mik on your first POTW Paul.
  22. @ClickerPolly - I have edited it the way it's meant to read now - the info in one line should have been the FIRST line! Paul.
  23. Vine weevils are a devastating plant pest. Suddenly otherwise healthy-looking plants wilt and collapse and no amount of watering will help them recover. The reason? Vine weevil grubs have eaten all the roots! Paul.
