Bath has a number of decorated lions on display in the city, similar to the Cow Parade in Manchester or the Penguins in Liverpool. I took some photos while I was walking round today.

These photos were taken during a walk from Arnside, through the woods at Arnside Knott, and over to Arnside Tower. I have seen a few Pele Towers in Northumberland but this was the first one I've seen in the North West.
All the photos were taken using our old Canon compact camera. There seems to be something wrong with it because the photos all have a few dark areas towards the bottom left.

Some photos from Hardwick Hall, including the nearby Stainsby Mill. The National Trust seem to have relaxed their rules on taking photographs inside some properties. Previously it was banned in most of their houses but at Harwick it was allowed but the use of flash was banned.

Two of our Roborovski hamsters, Bryn and Darlene, have had babies. When they were between 1 and 2 weeks old, they looked a bit like small furry peanuts. With their over-large heads, they are the same shape as monkey-nuts.

It started snowing yesterday and by the time we left work there about an inch or so had fallen. The main roads on the way home weren't too bad but our road was very slippery. We live on the side of a hill so I had to drive up very carefully. Even so, I could feel the car wanting to slide sideways.
The road was no better this morning. All the pavements were very icy. I walked into town to take some photos of the city centre in the snow.

Here are some photos I took when I attended the 1 day Nature Photography course at the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust at Brandon Marsh. The day was aimed at complete beginners but there were people there with a variety of experience levels.
We were given various themes to photograph, starting with Colour, then Patterns & Texture, and finally Mood & Atmosphere. Later, we had to choose our own theme and put together a series of photos illustrating it.

We went to the London Champs animal show at Reading and I took some time out to walk along the river, towards the town centre.
