tuesday 🌾
Added 2025-01-21 11:08:44 +0000 UTChi everyone, i hope you’re all doing ok. i returned home yesterday evening, safe and sound. visiting wales always feels so bittersweet- i feel lighter there, calmer. i miss my family and the overwhelming greenery. i always have the loveliest time and feel so deeply sad on the way home. anyway, the photos 💭
these are the (phone) photos from my grandparents farm- somewhere i’ve always loved visiting, stomping about in the long grass and admiring the moss and lichen. my grandfather took me up to the top of the mountain to see a bog(!) and although there wasn’t too much to see at this time in the year, i’ll definitely return to see it again in the summer. it’s the wettest bog i’ve ever stood in, definitely had me feeling 👀💧 for a moment.
i also took some photos on my camera, which always catches the colours and feeling so wonderfully 📷
and a couple from the beach 🌥️
on saturday i visited the crymlyn bog in swansea- a protected area of scientific interest 👽🌱 again, as its only january there wasn’t too much to see, but you can tell it must be beautiful in the on season.
from the camera:
there we go! a few beautiful days in wales. fingers crossed we can finally move back this year 🤞🏻
hopefully patreon is on my side today and uploading all these images without issues- if you spot any gaps or weird formatting, let me know 🥲
wishing everyone a peaceful week ahead.
take care and speak soon, friends x

2025-01-21 13:26:09 +0000 UTCso so so pretty :) i always love the contrast between the warm browns and bright greens in your photos but also just in wetlands generally. im also surprised that horse wasnt sinking more 😂😅

2025-01-21 13:25:20 +0000 UTCLovely. It always amazed me how you can walk to the top of a mountain in Wales and still find a bog :) my husband’s family lived half way up one, so we always climbed it on each visit.

2025-01-21 12:31:54 +0000 UTCyour photos are always so aesthetically pleasing! ✨ are you using portrait mode on the photos of the mosses/lichen in your hand? what filters do you use to edit? i have never been to wales but you have captured a very calm homely vibe in your photos, i would love to explore it one day!!

2025-01-21 11:59:23 +0000 UTCaah these are such beautiful photos. your grandparents' farm looks just like my uncle's farm in aotearoa, down to the little farm car haha. makes me ache just a little. the last time i was there was 2017 (!!!). miss it dearly. crossing my fingers for you and your dad to move back to wales very soon, it looks like such beautiful country. definitely understand that bittersweet feeling of a trip 'home'

I'm glad you had a nice time ☺️ Going back home is always tough for me after a time away, especially from a place I really connect to. I love how its green and misty as far as the eye can see, so good 🤌 Thank you for sharing 🥹💜
