Wild Foxgloves and Views

Nice to see them in their true place and thriving.

Beautiful view's , lovely walking county :-))

i love the landscape around you Hywel..it must be a good year for foxgloves. the woodland was full of them last weekend..:-)

Stunning scenery there Hywel. Lovely blog.

What a lovely blog Hywel, so love those foxgloves and the beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing.

Lovely foxgloves and lovely views Hywel, but wow, you wouldn't expect a drug raid in your part of the country! It reminds me of the programme "Heartbeat" , in the middle of all this beautiful countryside with pretty little cottages and police chasing all the bad guys! lol.
Its a shame about the wind turbines though. Wasn't there anything the villages could do about?

A breath of fresh air on this Sunday afternoon. Do you get Dippers on that stream? Thanks for taking us along Hywel. :-)

Thanks for taking us withyou in the country side really enjoyed it, as for all the foxclove not are they only doing well in the wild i think there doing well in gardens this year aswell think they must like all this horrible weather we getting more than us.

What a lovely blog Hywel. Foxgloves are one of my favourite flowers. Your local countryside is beautiful.

Loved that , Hywel , thank you .
Shame about the wind-farm though ; the Danes who first thought the idea up have now abandoned them .

Lovely blog, Hywel. Foxgloves are a favourite of mine - I love it when they appear in my garden (don't seem to have much luck with the perennials, though)

Pure magic Hywel!

Great walk, and lovely views of the valleys, Hywel. I found a foxglove around the back of our wood-pile this spring and transplanted it where I could see it!

These are beautiful pictures Hywel. It's lovely to see the foxgloves in the wild. When I'm out and about I never really take that much notice. I really should though.
Was nice of you to share your day out with us.

beautiful views Hywel , love it :-)

that was a lovely trip out, thanks hywel, those views are really lovely and the foxgloves are fabulous.

Great year for foxgloves!

Lovely hywell! id go on more walks if i had scenery like that nearby! that cottage reminds me of 'the one show' tuther night it was telling about a big lsd factory some people had going on in their cellar in wales in the 70s and got busted. looks like thats a good hiding place then-not for long tho lol :o)

Lovely photos Hywel nice to see Foxgloves in the wild loved your views in all directions too, nice they used local stone to rebuild the bridge they did that on the Horseshoe pass here after a land side a few years ago, thank you for sharing your trip :o)

Lovely photos and views, Hywel! I was introduced to the Brecon Beacons by Partner about 17 years ago - love them!

love foxgloves and the stone walls as well as the wonderful views

Beautiful photos Mr Hywel! Always enjoy your outings.,.what a lovely place you live. :)

Coffee break and a walk in the beautiful rolling hills Hywel, what more could one wish for on a wet Monday.
Thankyou, lovely photo`s....

Thank you all for reading my foxglove blog :o) and appreciated comments.

Muddywalter, I haven't seen any dippers on that stream, but I did see a king fisher once. It was just a flash for a second lol

Rose there were protests about the windfarm, but if the powers that be decide to have something, there's nothing you can be done about it :o(

I enjoyed that Hywel, every time I read your blogs I think what a beautiful place you live in, stunning.......

Wonderful blog, Hywel.
Those hillside pics are perfect :o)))

Great walk "on the wild side", Hywel! Loved seeing the Foxgloves growing in the valley they really look lovely growing in their own habitat. :-))

Wow! You live in a beautiful place (apart from the drug den - hee hee). Thank you for sharing, I feel like I've walked miles - am exhausted! :D

xx

Such wonderful scenery Hywel, but it will be spoilt I think by wind turbines, still I think the foxgloves will still keep popping up. I always enjoy the little journeys you take us on.

The foxgloves, and all the other wonderful wild flowers will definitely keep popping up. Long live Gaia!

Beautiful Hywel, as always. Are you far from the stream at home?

Lovely stroll with you and Beryl there, Hywel - altho' I think you mentioned a car! Have always loved foxgloves and this does seem to have been a good year for them. I've had more than usual. I just love all the valley views.Thank you for an outing on yet another rainy day.

Hywel, what a pleasure to find your blog, reminded me I must thin out my mixed foxglove seedlings today, they were top of my list when planning my new garden, and I was photographing wild ones yesterday. You have made up my mind to visit south Wales sometime (I loved the north).

Thanks for your comments. It's nice to know everyone enjoys my blogs :o)

Steragram, the stream is about 5 miles from here ... the other side of the mountain.

TuesdayBear, we did go in the car. It was a 7 mile journey lol and the mountain sides are steep.

Pottysheila, south wales is not as rugged as Snowdonia. It's gentler on the eyes .... but I am biased lol.

i love seeing the foxgloves growing wild Hywel, we saw lots going through scotland this last few days,
love the hillside pics and seen lots of wind turbines to, they are taking over,
really enjoyed your photos :o)))

Hi Hywel
fabulous pics I have one foxglove in the jungle that at the mo passes as my garden must have been left by a passing sparrow! Beautiful scenery, you are so lucky, we escape to your part of the world from Birmingham to recharge the batteries Elan valley is a favourite but with all the rain and the resevoirs just too muuuuuuch water. Will look forward to seeing some more of your skills with the camera.

ps
it's a shame they are going to sully the horizon with wind turbines to say nothing of the damage to the wildlife etc. Methinks there needs to be some sabotage afoot

Thank you all for reading my blog, and all your comments :o)

It's taking more energy to build that windfarm, than the ammount it will save lol
Elan Valley isn't really in my part of the world ... I live about 70 or 80 miles from it, in Carmarthenshire :o) I have been there though, but it was many years ago. I don't suppose it's very far from Birmingham ...
