Spring is now well under way with the bluebells and wild garlic in full bloom in the local woodlands.


My favourite flower at this time of the year is the magnolia. The flower pictured below is on a small magnolia tree in my garden

Looks like summer is nearly here! They say one swallow doesn't make a summer but I saw four whilst out walking the dog yesterday morning. The photo below shows a vixen that stoped briefly to see what I was up to earlier in the week. Fox2.jpg As I keep a few poultry I must admit I'm not a fan of the ...

After the lovely mild weather of the last few weeks this morning it seemed like winter had returned. I looked out of the bedroom window to see everywhere covered in a light layer of snow. I've been waiting all winter to be able to get out with the camera and take some snow photographs and today was ...

It looks like spring is coming a few weeks early this year. The daffodils have started flowering a couple of weeks before St David's Day which is very unusual around home. I've also noticed the Jackdaws are pairing up and have started pulling hair from the ponies backs to reline their nests. Daffodi...

With the sunny weather of the last few days I decided to make my first trip of the year to Snowdonia. I wanted to attempt to climb Moel Siabod a peak of some 872m situated to the south of Capel Curig.

The heather is now in full bloom a sure sign that summer is nearly over, what summer you may ask as the weather's not been great this August. This picture was taken during a walk up Moel Famau.

Had a trip up Cadair Idris last week, the Minffordd path is not the way to go if you don't like steps but the view is excellent. Cadair Idris.jpg Cadair Idris or "Idris' Chair" is the natural bowl shape depression to which the name of chair has been attached, Idris was the mythical giant w...

When walking the dog this morning I saw a bird I've never seen before locally, a red kite, what a majestic bird it is with its forked tail.

Perhaps we should change the title to Summer's almost here . During my recent walk up Moel Famau I heard the Cuckoo sing his song. Yesterday afternoon, when walking the dog near home, I saw around 5 swallows busy flying around catching insects, no doubt hungry after the return flight from their wint...
