A Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) looks out from her pole top viewpoint.

Leaves spread wide, catching the rays. Sentinel of this peaceful vale. -------------------------- Snows on high & frosts a bitin’ Leaves fallen, twigs naked clear.

Waun Oer and Cadair Idris

An autumn morning on Cribin Fawr; a mountain panorama over Waun Oer & on to Cadair Idris.

Anemone - Beadlet or Strawberry

A colourful anemone hangs under a rock displaying its iridescent blue acrorhagi which contain the stinging nematocysts that will help catch its dinner. I initially believed this to be a Beadlet Anemone (Actinia equina) but now consider it to be the closely related Strawberry Anemone (Actinia fragacea).

Bryn Castell Silhouettes

The autumn sun falls towards the horizon behind Bryn Castell; on a cool, clear afternoon above Llyn Dinas.
