This ditch in Blackpool is usually dry, but we have had a bit or rain recently.

In Anchorsholme Park, Blackpool, a wooden post celebrates the number 2 beetle.

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.

The knitters of Fleetwood have a dark side.

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.

A dredger parked near the Knott End ferry terminal in Fleetwood.

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.

A traffic cone nestles in a tree at the disused roll-on roll-off ferry lorry park in Fleetwood.

A pack of dogs and a human frolicking on the beach at Cleveleys.

The Big One in the Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, in early March, undergoing a bit of renovation before the start of the holiday season.

Daffodils in Marine Gardens, Fleetwood, with Marine Hall in the background. I have attended both a Ken Dodd show and Fleetwood Beer Festival in the Hall. Guess which one I left early because people were throwing bottles at each other.

Digging a large hole in the beach at Cleveleys, presumably not for recreation, but for the foundations of a boulder groyne. And a traffic cone.
