A pair of mute swans (male bringing up the rear) with a family of ten cygnets on the Fish Ponds between Bosherston and Stackpole in Pembrokeshire.
I had a wonderful walk around the Stackpole cliffs and Bosherston Lily ponds with my old friend John and his wife Linda. It was lovely to have such great company, and it's wonderful to share such a great and varied walk. I can Neve rget ove the wonderful colour of the sea, and as I've always loved limestone cliffs, what could be better. I need to try and remember to visit on a really wild day one time as I'd love to see a. really big sea running here. These Days are Mine is by I am Kloot. I'm off looking for adders this morning so a great day awaits.
I spent 2 1/2 hours snorkeling in West Wales today.
I was as wrinkled as a prune when I got out of the sea.
What a lovely area to go snorkeling in though.
Only just managed the eight arches!

This HDR shows another view of Eight Arch Bridge on Stackpole Estate in Pembrokeshire. Although there are no arches in this image, I liked this view with the way leading over the bridge and the two trees standing to the left and to the right of the way.
The HDR was developed from 5 single shots.
This photograph was taken from Stackpole Warren on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The stack in the foreground is called Pinnacle Stack. Church Rock is in the distance.

The 80 acres of lakes were created by the damming of the three narrow limestone valleys in 1780 and 1860 by the Earls of Cawdor, owners of the Stackpole estate.
From a trip to Pembrokeshire in late summer/early autumn last year. I liked the juxtaposition between the rocks and the concrete that together formed the sea wall/quay. The location was certainly one of the more unusual ones, clambering down to this point via a steel ladder in the dark was fun!
The moody sky at sunrise did finally break to produce some spectacular colour.
It was a very brief visit to an area that I look forward to exploring more of.

Named after a favourite track from my favourite band British Sea Power! This is a detail shot of the magnificent limestone cliffs between Stackpole Head and Bosherton, on our favourite circular walk. The day was sunny and hazy with no clouds, so not good for distant shots, so I used the telephoto to crop into whatever caught my eye. These patches of colour and texture were an obvious choice. I struggle in landscapes that haven't got rock in them!!!! I should probably have called it fear of falling, as I always feel like I want to jump, when I stand at the top of vertical cliffs near the sea!!!!!!!!
Part of the National trusts Stackpole estate a good place to start a circular walk which takes in woodland,waterways,beaches,cliffs and a deer park.
I've had a busy few weeks, firstly in Wales with my family, where this was taken, and then helping out at a summer camp in France.
Unfortunately, whilst I was in Wales by camera battery died, and so it was out of use for most of the trip. I did have my film camera, so looking forward to getting that developed soon! Lesson learnt though.

My wife and I spent a lovely weekend with brother in law and very good friend Paul Dunn on the Pembrokeshire coast. We walked all over the Stackpole Estate taking in the Bosherston Lakes and the Stackpole coast. Stunning scenery on a very windy day.
This Heron was just like a statue in the tree intently watching some fishermen.
My wife and I had a short trip to Pembrokeshire early this week. We went to see the Puffins on Skomer Island but I also spent a day at Stackpole photographing the lovely dragonflies and butterflies, particularly these Silver-studded Blues.
Her grandparents came to Bosheston lily ponds when they were children. Now it is the turn of their two year old granddaughter to take in the wonderful view of the eight arch bridge.
Bosherston Lakes and Lily Ponds are part of the Stackpole Estate, Pembrokeshire now run by the National Trust. A truly beautiful place for a visit and plenty of walks
The Eight Arch Bridge on the Stackpole Estate is a grade II* listed construction, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is owned and maintained by the National Trust.
The bridge was built in 1797 to connect Stackpole Court and Home Farm to Stackpole Quay and the New Deer Park.
At some point face-to-face iron ties were added to hold the bridge together.
On 2 August 1996 it was listed by Heritage in Wales (now Cadw) as grade II* for its eyecatching nature as a major feature of Stackpole Park, and as part of the Stackpole group of buildings.
