A PHOTOGRAPHER'S EYE . . . .
Under A Silver Sky
A zig-zagging wooden walkway leads the eye across rich lily ponds teeming with life.
The View From The Jetty
As recently as 1905 a passenger ferry would set sail from here, and cross the tidal Tywi to the picturesque village of Llansteffan. As of 2013 discussions are afoot to reinstate it.
Land of The Giants
Horsetail (Equisetum sp.), is related to large plants that grew 270 million years ago.
Stranded
In UK waters, green starboard buoys tell mariners that they must 'keep to the left'.
Borth's Hidden Gems
Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima), growing on the rocks near the pretty little Welsh seaside town of Borth. Also known as Sea Pink, this lovely flower thrives in salty environments.
It's Behind You !
Popular with surfers, Whitesands beach in West Wales, boasts waves up to 10 feet high. At this beautiful, unspoilt spot, the impressive crags of Carn Llidi and Penbiri guard the bay.
The Beautiful Forest
Sea Pink, or Thrift, is the 'county flower' of the Isles of Scilly and thrives in salty, windswept environments. It's perfect for gravel and rock gardens and insects love it !
Lotus Seed Head
Lotus seeds are valued for their nutritional and healing properties in Chinese medicine.
All That Remains
Many a ship setting sail from North America heading for Dublin, Bristol, or even France, has, due to stormy, gale-ridden Irish Seas, foundered helplessly on the wild Welsh coast.
Forgotten
Talley's sacred burial ground is looked down upon by majestic ruins of its (c. 1187), abbey.
The Day Before 'Carnaval'
A very beautiful sight in French market towns during festival. Each building, tree, street and post is decorated with 'flowers' made from plastic bags of all colours. A treat to behold.
Hunter's Moon
Fields have been reaped and deer are fat and ready for eating. So called because hunters can ride easily over the fields' stubble, where foxes and other animals are easily spotted.
Parasols
Balcony parasols in the ancient town of Najac. Perfect for those lazy summer evenings.
JOIN ME ON :
Splash !
Daniel Craig (aka Mr Bond), eat your heart out ! A brave early morning 'dipper' emerges from the icy surf of Whitesands Bay one grey and chilly January day. Rather him than me !
Emergency Shower 999
A patiently attendant English Springer Spaniel stands by in this surreal scene in rural West Wales. Who will emerge? A wet and soapy superhero? Or, perhaps even, a Time Lord?
