21/06/2021-Post 1 of 3: The cottage, Beamaris and Camaes
I have split the blogs for today into three again and this flips around being about time spent today either side of our main walk at Cemlyn.
I enjoyed seeing and photographing a lovely crane fly in the cottage shown in the first picture in this photoset before going to bed last night as I did Friday night before coming away. This morning we woke to more overcast conditions compared to past days with the mountains visible from the cottage obscured a little which did look dramatic. I took the second picture in this photoset of this.
We then set off to Beaumaris early this morning as we were booked on a cruise around Puffin Island. Weather conditions were assessed by the company and it could not go ahead today. But it still made a nice little run out to enjoy a different area of the Isle of Anglesey, which looked very beautiful a great picture postcard seaside town with a lovely castle and beautiful views of Puffin Island and over the water to mainland Wales. I took the third picture in this photoset of a view here. I enjoyed seeing a Herring Gull very close too making out its beautiful intricate markings and large nature up close it so great to have a spotlight on this common bird with their wailing call adding the soundtrack to the seaside town vibe I took the fourth picture in this photoset of this. I enjoyed one by a dog water bowl too as though it may have drunk from it.
On the way back I liked seeing Oystercatchers flying over the flat coast and on the way and way back it was great to get a side on view compared to when we drove over it of the impressive Menai bridge and the attractive Menai strait a charming piece of landscape in the quite dramatic conditions.
After Cemlyn on another typically packed holiday day today my next two posts are about Cemlyn we went on to Cemaes a charming Welsh coastal village with flags flying where it was lovely to take in some beautiful cliff and beach views with great vibes and enjoy an ice cream a key part of any holiday. I took the fifth and sixth pictures in this photoset of keys here. When back at the cottage tonight it was great to take in the sheep in a field nearby which its always lovely to see going in and out despite being behind a fence most of them move away when you come which is funny. I also enjoyed great sky scenes and views from this picturesque cottage again tonight its such a wonderful place to be which I took the seventh and final two pictures in this photoset of and a lovely Rabbit which comes in the garden I took eighth picture in this photoset it was lovely to see it. Another brilliant day that I am so pleased to have had.
