Its been a really mixed bag in the hills the last few weeks. There has been a range of weathers from snow, rain and some sunshine. Jobs around the farm keep us busy with fallen trees to sort and new trees to plant over the next couple of weeks. The ewes are a couple of months away from lambing so much of the work involves ensuring they are well looked to in this important period. Feeding sheep some of the SSSI cropped meadow hay is mostly on the cards. Opening up a bale of hay and basking in a few moments of the summer gone, and little pieces of meadow flowers fall from the hay bale. Over head the kites are flying and pairing, Roe deer have been heard, snipe drumming, woodcock and barn owl are frequently seen around the farm... and signs of the spring to come as skylarks are seen more frequently on the hillsides.

Dashed out to get this one morning before kids off to school, was most chuffed it was put on the Welsh Weather forecast.
This is what I have named the eye of horus or the all seeing eye. Capturing the rays of the sun onto Caban Coch Dam. It was taken in HDR as i wanted the range of Shadow and light.
Lovely :)
