February 2023

    The neither here nor there month…

    Sunsets

    You just can’t beat a good sunset, and in February you don’t have to wait long…

    Early morning breeze
Dew drops on the grass glisten
Birds chirp in the trees
    Sun rising over the mountains
    View across the valley

    Eglwyseg valley and escarpment

    Eglwyseg is a valley located in Denbighshire, Wales, to the northeast of Llangollen. The area is best known for the prominent Lower Carboniferous Limestone escarpment, the Eglwyseg Rocks, which runs north–south for around 4.5 miles (7.2 km). The valley has several Bronze Age burial mounds, and there is evidence of agricultural use of the area from the Bronze Age onwards. The valley has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Landscape of Special Historic Interest.

    The castle you can see is Castell Dinas Bran.

    Wildlife in the garden

    The garden is generally full of birdlife, so you need only to point the camera in vaguely the right direction…

    There is also Crocus putting in an appearance
