Moochin' with the pooch - the beach

On the very rare nice days we've had recently I've made sure to get out and about walking the dog. I live in such a stunning area its a shame not to make the most of it. I know I'm guilty of taking it for granted - I'm instantly reminded how lucky I am when I see people have taken whole day trips just to get to the seaside - where for me its a 20 minute walk from my house.

These are a selection of photos from the beach just before the sun set. In the next few days I'll post photos from our woodland/river walk.

Peat bogs  - a fossilised ancient forest. There's a legend about a whole country in Cardigan bay that was lost to the sea. Google Cantre'r Gwaelod for more about this. My brother starred in a school play about it in Primary School - forget nativties, we do myths and legends round here!

Is it weird that  I love the way the light is shining through this jellyfish?

My Tessy-bear - she's a 2 and a half year old border collie. Her parents were working sheepdogs, she loves herding us!

Sunsets are so beautiful - pictures never seem to do them justice! I love to watch for that last little glimpse of light before the sun completely disappears beneath the horizon. Magical.
