Poster at Jubilee Gardens, Cleveleys, with an artist's impression of how the beach will look with the new boulder groynes, which should stop sand being carried away to Fleetwood by the prevailing sea currents.

One side of Kincraig Lake in Blackpool reminds me of the Louisiana Swamps. I have never been to Louisiana, but I have seen the swamps in a few films.

In Euston Park, Fleetwood, as in most of the Fylde Coast, if anyone looks as if they might have food, the seagulls will gather.

Statue of Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood feeding the birds in Euston Park, Fleetwood. The North Euston hotel is in the background. There used to be a railway station nearby, connecting Fleetwood with Euston Station in London.

Pylons next to the North Blackpool Pond Trail. Some people think of them as eyesores, but they remind me that I am lucky enough to live in an advanced economy with readily available electricity, at least for the time being.

After the recent rain, this hole in the road in Blackpool looks more like a pond in the road in Blackpool.

At the southern end of the North Blackpool Pond Trail, someone has built the framework for a tepee. I hope the builders are not out looking for skins, because the only large animals in the area are horses and people.

Daffodils in Carleton Cemetary, Blackpool. In the midst of death we are in life, to misquote the Gregorian chant.

A table and stools in a wood in Blackpool to us, but a toilet to the local birds.

On a receding tide, seagulls paddling on the beach at Blackpool, mostly looking for something to eat.
