There was a fly high up the fence and in sure it's knees were shaking, lol... Paul

Cheers Geoff. It may have been disturbed by a bird and just settled again... Paul.

Perishing outside tonight - but I found an exposed ladybird and small crane fly on the fence panels. Paul.

This lens is amazing for these kind of photos. The difficulty comes when doing 1:1 macro with the backgrounds cos you need your macro subject almost touching the glass! Paul.

Thanks Geoff - as long as people do enjoy it and the subscribers on YT grow too, it's worth the effort. Paul.

Cuerden Valley Park lies between Bamber Bridge and Clayton Green. It has 650 acres of parkland, wildflower meadows, mixed woodland, the meandering River Lostock with stepping stones and a ford, oxbow ponds, a lake, a picnic area, ten miles of paths! Paul.

Again, works beautifully. Paul.

Some nice light Paul.

Nice start to the flowering season Polly Paul.

Casey Jones from the TV in the 60's Paul.

All fine captures Mark. Paul.

Nice Fuji - the fish and chips photo is always gonna be a classic. Paul.

#1 is brilliant! Paul.

Thanks Polly, at least there are 2 giving it the thumbs up, lol... Paul

I thought you'd like it Geoff. I hope the choice of music isn't too "maudlin"... Paul.

Thank you Geoff Paul.

Whalley Abbey is a ruinous 13th-century Cistercian abbey on the banks of the River Calder in the peaceful Ribble Valley in Lancashire. Whalley Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey which after the dissolution of the monasteries, was largely demolished and a country house was built on the site. Whalley Abbey was the second richest of Lancashire's monasteries, founded in 1296, when the Cistercian monks of Stanlaw moved there from their flood-prone site on the Cheshire shore of the River Mersey near Ellesmere Port. The Gregorian chant you are listening to is sung by the Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz - the Cistercian Chant Responsories of Matins for the Feast of St Bernard : Testamentum Eternum Hi too, to the people I met on my travels today - it's a pleasure to meet you all. Paul.

Sunnyhurst Hey and Earnsdale Reservoirs are adjacent reservoirs situated on the north-western edge of Darwen Moor, some 1.5 km west of Darwen town centre. Earnsdale Reservoir was constructed in 1863 and impounds 433Ml with a 300 m long, 24 m high embankment.. The site is used by the Darwen Anglers Association. The reservoir offers excellent bank fishing, close to Sunnyhurst wood, which is a beautiful 85 acer wooded valley and is a beautiful location for family walks and picnics. Paul.

Cheers Mark. Paul.

I went through all last weeks uploaded images and there were quite a few really pleasing images (I saw a lovely fly, lmao)..... but a late entry set caught my eye and the colours and the juxtaposition of the trees against the turbines and the soft light had my attention. Well done Vanguard - you're my winner. Original thread here. Paul.

Cheers Geoff - it is indeed a millipede. Paul.

Cheers Geoff Paul.

This morning I found I had a broken propeller blade, so had to attach a replacement set of blades, which then needed testing. UAV Forecast said it was not a good day to fly - with some strong winds around, but the Mini 3 Pro coped fairly well. This is the short test video I made, of The Ribble Millennium Link Preston. Opened in July 2002 The Millennium Ribble Link is Britain’s newest inland waterway - the six-mile navigation costing almost £6m. Paul.

That fly is called David. David Hedison. Paul.

Nothing much but woodlice really, though a few of the usual suspects are maybe starting to show up. Strong winds outside tonight though... Paul.
