It could be said that the image above, taken on my return from the salt marsh to the park on this my sixth and final walk from the past, depicts a beauty and a beast. However, while the beauty the post title refers to could be said to be the thistle or any of the natural environment of this walk, the reference to the beast Continue reading
One of the main features on my walks on our local salt marsh back in 2010 was the marsh grass, their profusion and tallness. As mentioned in my previous walk here from the past (Past Walks 4), the grasses were all trampled to nothing by cows in the years between then and now.

My walk this week is the last of six walks from the past (2010 in this instance) and takes another look back at a place I love to walk, namely our local salt marsh on the River Loughor estuary.

This fifth of my walks from the past (2009) features today on the view across the bay from where we stay for a couple of weeks at different times each year. Continue reading
My walk this week is from 2009 and is perhaps less of a walk than usual as I have focused more on the main features of this coastal walk than on the features along the route. Continue reading
Evening moon
Ending my evening walk this week from June 2011 the moon shone out for me but if the stars were not yet visible in the sky, they revealed themselves in the dandelion below. Continue reading
