Foel Fenlli [North Wales]

Here’s what we get up to when the van’s hibernating:

We look at sheep [it's like the law round here!]

We forget our camera but pretend it’s not happening by taking sky & dog shots on our mobiles:

We look like we can read maps [well, *some* of us actually can] and aimlessly point & shoot in the vain hope that some of the things we can’t actually see on screen will turn out alright regardless of ISO, aperture or shutter speed ^_^

We deal with our Instagram obsession:

We have a good look around some working farms [and reassure our hairy companions: no.need.to.herd.sheep.for.a.living.just.carry.on.enjoying.life]:

We go home and release our inner nerds then let them connect GPSes to laptops and watch them exchange weird data:

And THEN…………..we pour ourselves some pretty pink bubbles and take them outside to the hot tub overlooking some glorious Welsh mountains and count our blessings. Well. I might have made that last bit up ^_^

And there we have it. A fabulous day out in North Wales.

Wow! The North Wales tourism and visitor’s office should just write you a really big check (or is it cheque?) Your ability to just take a very normal day around home and create a series of images that make one feel the need to study each individual picture, to feel to mud under your boots, to hear that gate squeak… Well, you get the idea. Nice work, I’m a van plus 4 / MrsB fanboy.

Seriously though, thanks v much for feeding my blog ego fanboy, brought a nice big smile to my face ^_^

I like your approach to this set of photos – particularly your choice of instagram and black and white.
