Dog walking in the Bay.

One of yesterdays shots from our day in sunny Morecambe, rather liked the slight curve of the bay & the dog walker.

A filthy day here with rain & cold wind...Spring has not sprung yet!! So glad I have nothing to do & no need to go anywhere.
I have just read my book by the fire, Harry has just popped out to put the hens in & feed Henry.

Not much detail in the small shot so if you have the time big is better!!

Three good things:
1. Wigan in the semi finals of the FA cup!
2. Chinese for two tonight...order no. 35.
3. Business is good a the local village butchers...I had to queue out of the door this morning...horse meat scare is good news for some!!!

[👑 AnaZad]

You are so funny... Enjoy #35... LOL.

[Fanny Brogden]

amazing panorama, do you have a wide angle lens..wondefrul shot Pat oh stupid fingers!! No cooking for me either, left over shepherds pie!!I like both the shots, for some reason the b&w seems clearer but I think I favour this one!!

[Rob Wareham]

Viewing this large really brings it to life bringing out the colour along the sea front. Will be interested to hear your answer to Fanny's question too.

[Alison Tomlin]

Love all those coloured houses along the front. Poppy would love that beech

[Rick Schies]

I like this one Pat with the bit of color, but I do like the other one a great deal.

[Pat Knowles]

@fannyb Not a wide angle lens fanny just a distant shot cropped hard...whish it was bigger as it's quite hard to see the detail.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

the other for me!

[Maggiemae]

It is lovely viewed large - the buildings twinkle with colour! A very wide bay this is - huge tide difference!

[Pat Knowles]

@anazad511 We did thanks Ana!!!!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae This is only a tiny bit of Morecambe Bay maggiemae...will put a wider version up tomorrow with a little history.

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast A very bleak beach Alison as you must know but there were lots of dog walkers about. What is your Poppy like... I will have to look back at your pictures & see if there is a photo!

[Alison Tomlin]

@happypat Here she is. A perfect all sorts but probably some collie in there. http://365project.org/fueast/365/2012-10-19

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast Just checked her out...such a beautiful colour fur & she looks a dog that you could take & would enjoy a long walk!

[Alison Tomlin]

@happypat Yep, she'll follow you anywhere. Mind you not the ideal dog when you're full of cold and its rained all day!

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast Ha no...you will have to force yourself out ...should have an ex farm dog like ours, open the door & she takes herself off down the fields by herself!!!!!

[Karin Hirsch]

Great viewed large. The low tide , the single person with the dog and the houses great composition Pat. Love it

[Gillian]

Lovely panoramic view.

[Cathy Donohoue]

Lovely curve in your beach shot. Really good viewed large. Shows the scope with that little dog.

[Pat Knowles]

@khirsch Thanks Karin, you are right it's quite small so best viewed large.

[Pat Knowles]

@kwiksilver @cdonohoue Thank you ladies i appreciate your comments.

[Juliette Packham]

love your three things - great news to Wigan and i'm hearing about so many buthers who are suddenly very busy! hopefully it'll keep a few more open for a few more years! Love that everyone's decriptors for the weather - miserable, grim, filthy, etc etc are we back in autumn do you think? Love this bay shot - so Morcambe Bay!

[Graham Harcombe]

As a life long Everton supporter, I could only see two good things up there, however... enough of that! I prefer this shot, despite the fact that it has less clarity than the B&W, the interest outweighs the technical detail.

[bkb in the city]

Great place to go walking

[Myrna O'Hara]

That is quite a cityscape and bay.

[Jane Pittenger]

I like this one better mostly because the crop adds to the sense of the curve. Nice one. Enjoy your book

[Sue Wilde]

I love the crop here

[Pat Knowles]

@ellida Oh dear Graham not a good result for you then...sorry bout that!!!

[Graham Harcombe]

@happypat Ahhh well, I suppose I'll have to cheer for Wigan now :-D

[KWind]

Nice shot! Such a big open space.

[Judith Greenwood]

Fab view. Hurrah for Wigan! Very big BOO for the weather. Snow here again :0(

[Diana Moss]

A wonderful view of the bay, a shame about the weather !

[Barb Smith]

Great landscape shot, Pat. Thanks for the tip to look magnified - really worth it. Love the bits of color in the distant buildings.

[Sean O'Neill]

Cracking shot. Wigan v Blackburn and City v Utd, a Lancashire final perhaps. As long as Wigan keep losing in the league, I hope they win the cup for Dave Whelan!!

[Phil Howcroft]

whooooooooooooeeeee pat super letterbox :)
