During a walk through Betws y Coed, Snowdonia the river bank had collections of fallen leaves and bark.
The transient beauty of the coast is intricately intertwined with the captivating patterns that emerge in the sand, crafted by the relentless forces of wind and wave. These natural sculptors shape the shoreline, leaving behind ephemeral masterpieces.
As the tides ebb and flow, they orchestrate a delicate dance with the sand. With each advancing wave, the water gently caresses the shore, carrying particles of sand along its journey. As the wave recedes, it relinquishes its cargo, depositing the grains in a meticulous arrangement. This cyclical process, repeated countless times, creates intricate patterns that stretch along the coastline.
The patterns left behind by the retreating tide mimic the ebb and flow of life itself. Swirling ripples, reminiscent of a miniature desert landscape, emerge as the water recedes, their graceful curves and undulating lines transforming the beach into a living work of art. The patterns are at once orderly and chaotic, with intricate geometrical formations intermingling with whimsical curves and asymmetrical shapes.
The wind, a silent artist in its own right, adds its touch to the sculpting process. As it sweeps across the coast, it whispers secrets to the sand, coaxing it to dance in its invisible embrace. The wind's gentle touch lifts fine particles from the beach, carrying them aloft in an intricate ballet. It sculpts the sand into delicate ripples, resembling the soft undulations of fabric.
The interplay between the wind and the tide results in an ever-changing landscape. The patterns shift and evolve, shaped by the combined forces of these elemental sculptors. Ripples become miniature mountains, rising and falling in a transient topography that mirrors the larger contours of the surrounding coast. Each gust of wind and every advancing or receding wave leaves its mark, etching new patterns and erasing old ones, in an eternal cycle of creation and destruction.
These ephemeral patterns serve as a reminder of the impermanence of existence and the transient nature of beauty, as each passing moment alters the landscape, erasing what once was and creating something new. The sands become a canvas for the symphony of time, a tangible reflection of the ever-changing nature of our lives.
The beauty of these fleeting patterns lies not only in their visual allure but also in the emotions they evoke. They inspire a sense of wonder and awe, inviting us to pause and appreciate the intricate designs that nature creates with such effortless grace. The patterns speak of the interconnectedness of all things, the harmonious interplay between the elements, and the constant flux that defines our existence.
In these patterns of nature, we find a profound lesson: that life, like the shifting sands, is ever-changing, and that true beauty lies not in permanence but in the appreciation of the fleeting moments that grace our journey.
Just creeped myself out looking at online snake identification charts 😬 🐍 I’m pretty sure it’s a common garter snake. I see them pretty frequently around here.

Heads at different stages of ripeness- all almost there- the farmers will be pretty busy soon round us.

Flickr seems a bit broken, and the metadata isn't showing for the rest of the image parameters. Was a Nikon D5200, ISO 640 1/200th second.

I bought a bouquet of daises before New Year's marked down to $2.50 at the grocery store. They are almost done now. I think I got my money's worth. :-)

Wild grapevines that grow in my garden. I’ve never seen grapes on them. Possibly the animals eat them as soon as they develop.
Marchlyn can be found in Snowdonia. It is a high level lake and used as a water source for Dinorwig power station. On the day of my visit, the water level was very low and because of this, I noticed the layers and patterns left by the receding water.
I found a rather tatty Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia) while out adder watching and thought I'd home in on the eyespot. Had no idea how hooked and toothlike the scales were! Go as large as you can to see, if you fancy it.
