The finished piece: oil on panel, 100 x 70cm. Portrait of my late father, from an old photo. I wanted to created a sense of transience, but simultaneously make him part of that place, rooted into the landscape. #portrait #grief #Mawddachestuary #Wales

Opulent Viburnum opulus, the guelder rose.

Marvellous and multitudinous May blossom (Hawthorn, Crataegus monogyna)

Knaughty Knautia.

An amazing Aquilegia.

A resplendent rose.

Pick up here and chase the ride,
the river empties to the tide.
All of this is coming your way.

Rhewpert the snowman is looking rather the worse for wear. He lost his head and I think the jackdaws have been pecking at his nose. Still, with another storm forecast, he may yet rise again. Stay safe and warm, everyone.

The misty light on the Mawddach Estuary this morning was lovely though.

Lovely spot #MawddachEstuary, nice capture 👌

Brooding skies over the Mawddach estuary this afternoon.

The ghosts of bluebells and the promise of new flowers to come from witch hazel buds.

A me, happy not to be being rained on.

As was the preening crow in the oak.

More beautiful autumn colours and misty vistas over the Mawddach estuary.

Then, only being small, I asked Michael to show me some photographs of views over the estuary that I wouldn't otherwise see.

Beautiful. I'm hopping along now. Toodle pip.

Good afternoon. It's time for another frog takeover. My name's Cassidy, and I live on Mawddach Crescent.

First, I want to show you these lovely sea-air-dried thrift flowers.
