23rd Jan First lambs of the year

On a wander, where we managed to get hopelessly lost, we spotted these cute little lambs, the first I've seen this year.

I love the expression on this lambs face lol.

Equally as cute ....

This old water pump also caught my eye.

A very regal looking swan glided past us while we sat enjoying the sun.

20th Jan Wet and grey day

Macro photography is a favourite of mine, especially when you get home, crop the photo, and then see little details such as the reflection in this raindrop.

This horse seemed to enjoy using barbed wire to have a scratch, at one point he seemed to be getting dangerously close to gouging his eye out !!

Photobucket

Although not a huge fan of horses, this one also caught my eye, he looked a lot better prepared for the weather than the other one, and I also liked the way the tree framed the photo.

My daughter also spotted this little part of a babbling stream in the middle of what was the snow covered side of a mountain.

January 11th Dreadlock sheep

Our wanderings took us down a little lane I know, where some people keep peacocks, our luck was in and the peacocks were out as you can see. Plus these gorgeous sheep were also being moved lol.

10th Jan Bitterly cold day in the mountains

On Sunday we went off for a photo session in the mountains, we were all shocked at how bitterly cold it was up there. It was frozen fingers within a couple of mins.

The first photo is of one of the wild mountain goats that roam free in the mountains.

Photobucket

Looking across Lake Ogwen towards the mountains, I think I need to look up taking photo's of snow, I'm not happy with the blue hue of the photo's lol

Photobucket

This last one I like, because of the shine on the discs against the matt of the mountains and fence.

January 8th Almost got stuck

Yesterday my daughter and I took a little back lane, and almost got stuck on a steep road, but all turned ok in the end, and by going down this little road I got what I think is the best photo yet with my new camera :o)

I almost missed this beauty sitting on the wall as we drove along !! My best photo so far I think :o)

Photobucket

Along the same lane, is a huge private lake with the Snowdonia mountains in the background, which are all solid pure white now.

Photobucket

This last photo is one I took a couple of days ago, not sure why it appeals to me but it does.
