Clouds over our house.

Clouds over our house.

Clouds over the house a few evenings ago.

I'm sure they're not Roman numerals, and they ain't Welsh either. And surely not a name. Can you please explain?

To be perfectly honest, it's me that ends up doing them in the paths. :rolleyes:

My neighbour's Laburnum tree.

I'm one of the ones in the middle..........with the short legs. ;)

You don't see many these days. It's an 'Auricula Theatre'. Seems a lot of work for a couple of weeks showing.

Lens stopped right down for 'sun-stars'.

Ragged tulips. I think the correct term is "fringed", though sometimes known as "parrot" tulips.

A strange one here: I wondered what it could be, lying in the middle of the meadow. When I investigated, it turned out to be an oven glove. I presume one of the owner's dogs had stolen it from the castle kitchen and run off to play with it?

This is actually a 12th Century chapel (much restored) within the grounds of Upton Castle in Pembrokeshire. Within, lies the tomb effigy of who is thought to be Sir William Malefant, who died in 1362. Who appears pretty (h)armless. :rolleyes:

Upton Castle, Pembrokeshire.

Airstream & self-portrait. I really must do somethings about my odd legs. ;)

These are all driftwood sculptures, displayed in the grounds of Upton Castle in Pembrokeshire.

The Paper Handkerchief Tree - Davidia Involucrata. Upton Castle gardens, Pembrokeshire.

"Who are you calling monkey face?"

A quaint bridge over one of the streams within Upton Castle gardens, Pembrokeshire. View from the other side, with my wife on her 70th birthday.

This is the public footpath running through our garden. It's known as my wife's woodland garden, full of colour each spring. I'll have to report her as I can see a few weeds in the path. :D

This my wife's "woodland garden" section. We have a public footpath running through it, which she keeps as colourful as possible for the walkers to enjoy. This is the sweetly-scented Rhododendron 'Luteum'. A recently planted Rhododendron 'Scarlet Wonder'. Accompanied by a few British...

View out of a bedroom window.

I'm pretty sure that the design of this house must be unique. Great Malvern, Worcestershire.

"Fighting buzzards" sculpture in Rosebank Park, Great Malvern.

Well, I'm surprised to find that if I caught the next bus from my village in to town, I could get the evening train which would deliver me direct to Bucknell station after 4 hours and 32 minutes. I might pop over sometime. :D

That last shot looks like it could almost be used in the "abandoned" thread. ;)

These are supposedly the 99 steps leading up to St. Ann's Well in Great Malvern, though we only counted 34. :confused:

The simply gorgeous Abbey Hotel, Great Malvern.

While this attractive Great Malvern hotel was doing its best to draw in the punters........... We opted for the Beatles-themed Abbey Road coffee shop, which served a wonderful latte and delicious version of 'Millionaire's Shortbread`.

Wandering around Great Malvern after our hike up the hills, we came upon this, one of the natural springs in the area. Apparently it was well-dressing time and the theme was a royal one; hence the Queen of Hearts decoration. Although one can drink the ready supply of free water, it would...

All I can say is "thank goodness" (it's back).

Dog tired, after bounding up to 425 metres. I think the other pooched ambled up, though it may have been carried a bit.

A couple of attractive buildings in Church Stretton, Shropshire.

Four shot panorama from top of the Malvern Hills looking east over Worcestershire. Stitched using Affinity Photo.

Bluebells on the Malvern Hills. Cropped using Affinity Photo.

Bluebells on the Malvern Hills.

Are you ready now, 1, 2, 3, 4............. From the Worcester Beacon at the top of the Malvern Hills

Lime trees, Sanford Avenue, Church Stretton.

Strolling on the Malvern Hills, heading for the Worcester Beacon.

We had a wander around our old stomping ground of Runcorn a few weeks ago and shot several photos of the (in)-famous bridges, which I'll group together for you here. An arch of the old railway bridge crossing the Manchester Ship Canal and River Mersey, between Runcorn and Widnes. A small...

This is a path cut through Runcorn Hill in Cheshire. It's the site of the old sandstone quarry, prized at one time for the quality of the stone, which was exported all over the world and was used to build the docks in New York and San Francisco, as well as various other locations as far afield...

I'm glad you found the Isis to your taste Colin. It's our favourite too, though more often than not we pop in for lunch after cycling the trail from Dolgellau. If you're feeling a bit frisky, you might try this one around the corner. :D Apologies, gone off topic a bit there. :oops:

That's a very cool photo Colin. It reminds me of John Ruskin's saying that there was only one finer view than looking down the river; and that was the one looking up! You've captured that effect perfectly.

One of our favourite bridges, despite being charged double when we crossed it on our tandem a few years ago. 20 pence! :D

Lovely area Colin, especially the Mawddach trail and also Happy Valley north of the river. Enjoy.

Local farm

A line of old beech trees. Leading down to this one; our favourite "elephantine" tree.
