Pink ears in Cemaes

Lamb with pink ears pointing out in a green field overlooking Cemaes Bay.

Great afternoon at the #TafarnyrIorwerth on #YnysMôn watching sister in law singing…

Just heard a commentator describe the plight of the Conservative Party, facing an existential crisis, as like the Celtic druids being cornered on Ynys Môn as the Roman (Reform) army chases them down before a grisly end. Never heard the metaphor before (le alone from London). Is it common? #YnysMôn

Finally got round to decanting photos from my big camera, so prepare for a flurry of bird photos.
First up, a trio of herons from #Wales in spring
#birds #BirdPhotography #YnysMon

A heron poised on one foot in clear shallow water with neck stretched in a hunting position. Its reflection is very clear and the bright sunlight is casting its shadow to the right.

A heron caught during a strike. Its beak is just breaking the water and there is a sploosh jetting up above its head. Its reflection is still very clear so it looks like it is meeting itself at head and knee.

A heron in flight. It is flying to the left and slightly away so its yellow feet can be seen stretched out behind. The wings have just finished a down-stroke so the black tips and edges can be clearly seen against the grey of the front of the wing. Below is bluish water , with a line of green above where trees are reflected.

Today I visited South Stack Lighthouse. As a woman in my sixties, it wasn't an easy thing to do.
There are 400 exposed steps, to climb down, and then a steep spiral stair inside the structure to climb the 20+ metres to the lamp room.
I was proud of my legs, lungs and heart, all of which got me to the lamp room at the top, and back to the car, breathless, but alive 😁

South Stack Lighthouse is a cylindrical tower, painted white, with a lamp room on top, at the foot of the tower is a large white single story building.
It sits on an island separated from the coast by only a few metres, and is approached by a short bridge (not visible in the photo)

My best shot of the day, I seem to be getting better at this #photography lark, though to be fair, I had to take a lot of photos before I got this one.

This gull is riding a 30mph wind, and she's making it look easy.

A female seagull riding the air, the sky above her is a dull grey.

"Pob hwyl", or "hwyl fawr"? As we leave North Wales for the almost certainly sunnier climes of Southwest Ireland (famous last words), a quick post of the view from #Caergybi to Ynys Mon. Just watching all the gannets (and I don't mean the birds) attacking the free food in the club lounge before at least some of them regurgitate it back into the onboard latrines during the forecast gale force crossing.

Picture from the prow of a ferry over a grey-green, agitated sea looking towards a headland in the distance, which separates the sea from an equally grey and cloudy sky. The headland shows a line of white, crashing waves where the sea meets the land.

Currently working on a charcoal and Pierre Noire drawing on this abandoned Ty Hir. It’s a place that I visit often and have watched steadily decline.

Landscape charcoal drawing taped to a board. A longhouse sits on a low horizon and is overtopped by a copse of trees. The house has lost lots of slates from the roof and worn timbers are evident. It is overgrown with brambles

Tristan Rhys Williams and Ob Od Æourth – Dylan Eil Ton texturally resplendent in the lowercase clamber of nature, the hissy brush of branch and canopy, the leafy scrunch of wandering feet. #musicreview #ambient #experimental #cymru #wales #ynysmon #anglesey #psychogeography https://freq.org.uk/reviews/tristan-rhys-williams-and-ob-od-aeourth-dylan-eil-ton/

We went into a lovely church on the way up Mynydd Bodafon this evening - St Michael’s Church, Penrhoslligwy. It dates from before 1400. It was lovely inside. #YnysMôn

Wood fired #pizza time, in the Panton Arms. #Pentraeth #YnysMôn

Mike sat in the window seat at the Panton Arms.

@MikeInTheGarden and I have had a fantastic day at the #GŵylFwydMenai #MenaiFoodFestival. Lots of local craft and produce stalls, food vendors, craft beers and distilleries. All showcasing the best of the island. The choir and live bands were good too, despite the slightly dodgy sound system giving occasioning bursts of ear shattering feedback. We met up with two lots of friends there, sat together in the sun, stuffed our faces and soaked up the lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend! #YnysMôn

Photo of some of the crowd on the field, with food and drink vendor stalls around the outer. A large arts and crafts marquee at the back. Off camera to the right is the large food tent. Off to the left is the stage, where lots more people were led on the grass. Photo has an arty effect to preserve privacy as the photo shows some people in detail.

Lovely evening in #Biwmares. #YnysMôn #Cymru

Little boats on perfectly calm water just after sunset.

We had a really nice time at the #AngleseyCountyShow #SioeSirFôn today. Great to see so many young families there and young competitors continuing in the #farming traditions. This is so important for this beautiful, special island, that was once known as the breadbasket of #Wales. I had ice-cream and a man gave me a very big sausage, so what's not to like. It was very hot though. 31c on the show side of the island compared to 24c on our side. Will definitely go again. #YnysMôn

A view looking out over green fields to Mynydd Bodafon beyond.

Mynydd Bodafon looking golden in the evening sunlight on beautiful #YnysMôn. #Cymru

A mountain with a number of fields edged with hedgerows. Some of which are golden with ripening wheat.

Superb! #nationaltrust emailed me with a link to this great music video! Love it!

Just saw this on Facebook -impressive ‘tide bell’ on #YnysMôn - someone posted a photo of a bloke using it to play his guitar. I now want to try my ukulele there 😂
