Sometimes you just get lucky. I haven't written anything to Say It With A Camera in weeks. Just no interest in blogging. But today I got lucky and found the goats down on the lower slopes, just minding their own business. Too good an opportunity not to share. Have I got the will to start... Continue Reading →
It's a nice day for a walk in the hills. No one about and just the sound of sheep on the slopes. Clouds are getting thicker and darker. Will it rain?

And where am I going to find an eagle in its nest. They’re not exactly in abundance around here.... Continue Reading →
Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Red, what is my hue? Probably none of them, or maybe all of them. I know that during the day I like a nice blue sky with white fluffy clouds and in the evening a sunset with lots of red, yellow and orange. What about green? That’s the colour I go... Continue Reading →
Pen yr Ole Wen is the seventh highest mountain in Snowdonia and in Wales. It is the most southerly of the Carneddau range. For many years the mountain's name was translated as "Head of the White Light", the interpretation of which was a mystery. However in 2004 Professor Hywel Wyn Owen at the Place-Name Research...
