Bridgewater in September

 Another late evening opening at Bridgewater, sadly it clouded over just after we arrived but it didn't spoil the day.

Chasing Dragonflies

 Chasing dragonflies at Pin mill at Bodnant, not as easy as I remember.

Indian Summer

 From a chilly end to August (16 degrees) to a very warm start to September ( 26degrees)  so why are we why Brits so obsessed with the weather.

Autumn in August.

 Plas Newydd and the last day of August. A distinctive autumnal feel, it was decisively chilly, especially in summer linens.

It's supposed to be hotting up.

 

Well, at least the hot border is at Bodnant.

Three's a Crowd

 

Common blue damselflies on the lilypond at Bodnant Garden. 

The Common blue damselfly is our most common damselfly and can be found around almost any waterbody, or away from breeding sites in grassland and woodland. It is a regular visitor to gardens and is on the wing from April to September. The Common blue damselfly is an aggressive species: males will defend their females as they lay their eggs, both from their own kind and other species. As with other damselflies, when Common blues mate they form a 'mating wheel' in which the male clasps the female by the neck and she bends her body around to his reproductive organs.

Cemlyn Bay

Cemlyn’s curved bay is unique with its shingle ridge known as Esgair Cemlyn dividing the open sea from a saline coastal lagoon. In the summer months, the lagoon provides a home to the only breeding colony of sandwich terns in Wales.
