Photography – Wales – Ewloe Castle, trees. bluebells, bridges and streams

Posted on by Opher

It was the beginning of Spring and a sunny day. The bluebells and wood anemones were out in flower. The stream was in flow. The old rocks of the castle stood out boldly from the ruins. The trees were in blossom.

It was all a new beginning in the midst of the old.

  2. Ooo! Those blue flowers startle the eyes like exclamation points at the ends of sentences! Just gorgeous! OML! These pictures! They call to my soul. This is where I belong!

      2. Well I’m pleased to hear that. It was a beautiful day with my son and his new family. A beautiful place and Spring in the air.

    1. Particularly when it is Spring and the flowers, blossom and new leaves are bursting out. The bark, soil and stone! I love the colours.

      1. I prefer Woodlands to the Beach anytime, there is so much more to see and to feel close to nature. I think that is why I created my own little Woodland at the bottom of my Garden – full of Bluebells at the moment and Rhododendron.

      2. Woodland is where I spent a lot of my boyhood – climbing trees, looking for caterpillars, building dens. But I love the sea too. There is something special about Britain in the Spring – where everything is coming back to life.

  4. Spring makes you feel alive, it is just such a wonderful time of year. I would have loved to have had a Thatched Cottage set in woodland, just animals around all the time and I would have been so happy.

      2. Yes. We visited last year. It was really beautiful – well worth a visit. The cottage was in this glade, surrounded by woods with bluebells and gorgeous trees. You’d love it.

    1. Go around this time when the bluebells are out and the blossom in the orchard. I’ll reblog my photos for you to see.

  6. Just seen them Opher, many thanks – after a stressful; afternoon/evening you have finally made it feel peaceful. I am just waiting for the washing machine and tumble dryer to go off and then I am off upstairs to sit down for a while, get my bath later and to bed and dream of this wonderful Cottage, – a Cottage for a “Cottage” sorry about that. Thank you, “Sleep Warm”.

    1. And you sleep well too. Tomorrow is another day. Enjoy.
      Perhaps you could cook cottage pie in your cottage for all the other Cottages?

  7. Of Course, too clever for me. Maybe that is one of the reasons I married David, I loved the surname it was so unusual, Anna Cottage, bit different from Anna Morrissey – Cottage sounding so English compared to Morrissey, so Irish. Do you know Opher I will be Anna Cottage for 41 years this coming Christmas, where the hell have all the years gone.

    1. I don’t know – you just seem to get going and it’s approaching the end! How did that happen?

      1. I have no idea, something happened to me a year ago, I can’t explain. All I know is I have to do this journey, I have to do whatever will come next – I have wasted the majority of my life apart from having my Sons that’s the most important of all, but there is something pushing me to see/do more. I look back and all I see is bringing up my Sons, what else?

      2. That’s right!
        Life – you have to grab it and do whatever you can. It’s important to live!

      1. I have to make it so, I have changed so much since the beginning of last year, I think I surprise my Sons at times, which is not a bad thing.
