My painting of Juvenile owls

This is my latest painting which I painted for a friend ,I usually paint botanical subjects and this was totally new for me to paint birds as I had not painted anything for over a year it was a double challenge .I collected it from the framer this afternoon I think he made a really good job of it

Every year I plant Daffodils and Tulips in the greenhouse to cheer me up in the dark days of winter and I have certainly neede them this year with all the miserable wet weather .The Daffodils are just going over and the Tulips are just starting.They do your heart good when the sun is shining and the whole green house is filled with their lovely perfume

The Daily Walk

This is the walk Flossie and I try to do each day its 2 ½ miles in total. It is beautiful and ever changing,   . 

 Part of it is the railway path that is along side the London to Holyhead railway line . T

. The remainder is just the Road to Bodorgan Station 

This is the stream that fed the old Mill race sadly the mill is now a ruin it was onceof the many mills that supplied flour for mainland Wales when Anglesey was called the bread basket of Wales

There is always something interesting to see. Be it wild geese grazing or the new lambs like  this particular family of three baby lambs and mum  or a buzzard resting in a tree always something new
