Walking across the boardwalk by the lake, with marshland either side.
The beautiful natural lake with yellow Water Lilies.
Potentilla - Creeping Cinquefoil, I believe.
There were lots of Whinberries growing, and we sampled a few.
Looking back across the Towy valley hills towards our valley. In the photo below it starts about half way across the photo from the left and has a dark "shoulder" to it. The beginning is in line with the darker tree in the middle. The fields here are grazed by Exmoor ponies, but we didn't see any up this end at all.
Large Skippers mating. I seem fated to discover the sex life of butterflies this week, as I saw a couple of Meadow Browns at it too the other day!
Finally, view across the Towy Valley on the way home - here is Dryslwyn Castle and FINALLY the car park has been unlocked and you are allowed to climb up to the castle again . . .
Fingers x'd, Keith seems to be on the mend due to a course of steroids - annoyingly, he sleeps really well with them and isn't eating like a horse!
Good news about Keith
ReplyDeleteAll your walks have such lovely views - must be something to do with all those hills!
That's the downside of the views really (hills) though we can look up at them from the valley bottom . . .
DeleteKeith definitely seems brighter now.
I so envy you your gorgeous walks.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Is there nowhere nice to walk where you are Jackie?
DeleteAn interesting place to walk, and it seems your country must not be plagued with the 'ticks' that are too prevalent here. I do hope that treatment for Keith continues successful.
ReplyDeleteThere are ticks (we avoid sheepy areas and deep bracken) but we don't encounter them very often. Fingers x'd that Keith stays OK once he's off the steroids.
ReplyDeleteYes fingers crossed, I wish him a quick recovery. All those mating butterflies, are they drawn to you;)
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be at the moment!
DeleteGood to read Keith is doing well on the steroids. Another beautiful walk.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see how he manages when the course is over. It was a lovely walk.
DeleteLovely. Glad that Keith is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom. It's been such a worry.
DeleteLovely vistas. Even interesting butterflies, or are those moths?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly made a change. Definitely butterflies.
DeleteWhat a really beautiful walk and lovely photos. I am so pleased Keith is feeling better.
