Sunday 18th April 2010.
An uneventful weekend with the just the odd surprise. On Sat. we went up to the garden on the moor to film the final shots for my film about John Williams and his remarkable moorland garden but we were too early for the drifts of daffodils I require for the spring sequence it will be another week before enough flowers are open to make the shots impressive (spring comes late to these high moorland valleys) but I did record his narration.
Sat... Noah Dale the valley of the garden on the moor

Todays walk in the Ribble Valley exploring the backwaters on little used paths in areas we've never explored With the usual show of early spring flowers.
A Salmon fish pass on one of the small tributaries of the Ribble
On the lane side both Alternate and Opposite leaved Golden Saxifrage
growing happly together, this is a suprise to me because the flower books
state that the Alternate leaved Golden Saxifrage is much less common,
in this location it dominates the Opposite leaved species.

Hi David, I do enjoy the seeing the scenery along your walks. I especially like to see the wildflowers you come across too. The alpines are always a bonus of course :-D
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are getting close to editing your film on John and his garden. I'll guess that will take some time to put together but the final result will speak for itself. You have a great eye for this. Good luck :-D
