Ynyslas Winter Sun
A photo from our beach photo walk earlier today, and probably my favourite, a lovely photo showing how nice Ynyslas can look even in February.

Beach Photo Walk
Morgan and I have just got back from a nice little photo walk along the beach. Nothing too exciting, just a little stroll to see how it was looking today. I’ll save the better photos for another post, but as per usual it was fairly breezy over there which just helped to highlight how much...
Creating a Family Calendar
It’s become a bit of a Christmas tradition for us now. Every year I give the family a gift of a calendar based on photos of the previous year. It doesn’t actually take too long to do thanks to the built in calendar creation tool in iPhoto. I use iPhoto to manage my photographs anyway...
Alanya Panorama
With the Turkey Travelogue Posts finished, here’s a final post with a panoramic photo of Alanya that I took from atop the castle.
Earl Grey Tea Bread
And today’s “Cake of the Day” is a delicious Earl Grey Tea Bread smothered in butter. Made with soft juicy mixed fruit soaked overnight in earl grey tea and treacle. The flavour of the super strong earl grey tea shines through the rich fruity bread and the treacle adds depth to the loaf. Tea Bread...
St David’s Day Aquathlon Aberystwyth – Photos
I wasn’t competing in the INTRtri St David’s Day Aquathlon at the weekend. Mainly because I didn’t want to, but also because it then means as a committee member of the club I could help out with marshalling on the day. I’m not that keen to compete simply because it is too early in the...
Andromeda through my Meade 15mm Eyepiece
Christmas may only be a distant memory now, and my birthday was a couple of weeks before that, but one of my birthday presents was a Meade 15mm eyepiece for my Skywatcher 130 telescope. I have briefly used it once or twice since then but Sunday night was the first time I got to use it properly. This isn’t...
Kiting at Ynyslas
Half term here again already, so after making camp chairs in the morning Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his kite and the GoPro. Last time we tried this it started pouring with rain. This time it was much better, the wind was better and there were even a few small patches...
Aerial Kite Photography
Well, that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea was to head over to the beach to make the most of the sunshine, get the kites out, fly them for a bit and then mess around trying to attach my GoPro to them to do some aerial photography. Morgan and I headed over with all...
More Winter Birds
I still haven’t managed to get any really good photos of the birds that have been in the garden during the snow. I’m not really patient enough to sit out there hidden away somewhere so I’ve taken a few photos through the conservatory windows instead. They aren’t the cleanest conservatory windows at the moment so the...
