Into the Woods

A sunny Saturday saw us out and about taking in the views from Strata Florida (although the iconic arch now comes with a temporary monument to the Wales football team ahead of the slightly misnamed Euro 2020 championship!).

On our way home we stopped to take a wander round a small community woodland at Coed y Bont - although it isn't that old, it's already attracting a lot of wildlife, and the trees and grasses looked really lovely in the afternoon sunlight.  

It apparently also has dark sky status - so might be a place to return to on a clear night in the winter for a spot of stargazing.

Finally called at Black Covert near Trawsgoed - didn't have time then for a full walk, but found our way to the river and back through the woods.  Another spot to return to.

All of which made for a really peaceful afternoon in the woods, and a taster for future days out.

Into the Woods . . .

A bright November afternoon, and a wander round Penrhyn woods - autumn leaves, mossy trees - time for some arty photography!

Woodland Walking

Weather stayed warm and sunny yesterday afternoon, so we made it out on another of our backyard explorations.






And I have to say that the woods above Talybont really are rather lovely - lots of meandering paths off the main track, there's a nice stream, and in due course (if we want to) we can walk on out the other side of the woods across the fields to Borth (with a bit of planning).




There are also some lovely views to be had across the valley and out to sea:
