Swansea, the mumbles and beyond....

A brighter day for our visit to Wales, when we drove down to the Mumbles near Swansea.






Another day we went to the Gower, where we had a lovely walk...









We also stopped at Llantwit Major - well it had to be the beach again didn't it.  


It clouded over and got very breezy, but was worth the stop





Then onto the Fishguard area, we did have some business to attend to which proved to be highly successful, so our trip was very worthwhile...




and a certain lurcher enjoyed the visit too...

Great photos. I love the two with the blue gray sky and the beach rocks, Llantwit Major. Many beaches of Newfoundland have beach rocks.

It was very scenic there Judy.

The rocks are very unusual there Marie. Here's a link about them:

It's fun exploring new places especially on the coast. Glad you had a good trip!

ann @ studiohyde said...

yes, I've a feeling it will end up as a painting ;)

hahaha poor William looks like he's being blown away! We could see Mumbles and the Worms Head from Lester point when we walked up Hangman Path behind my house. Great view across the Bristol Channel. Nice sketches!

So lovely being by the sea, and beautiful sketches too.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Yes, on a clear day we've done that walk too :-)
