It’s Friday, I made it home through ridiculous traffic heading for a massive campsite, and I’ve just been watering the garden. Enjoy this Echinops ritro, because I did (and the camera-shy bees love it too).

Daily #Wales for this morning is a random scroll, so …

Oh, that’s iconic - Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon.

Every day I post a Daily #Wales pic, often as an antidote to the shitshow (no apologies for accuracy) that is politics, particularly in the UK. Sometimes - often - it’s beautiful. Mountains, seascapes, woods, y’know? And sometimes it’s a giant ice cream cone on the side of a cafe in Barmouth.

Daily #Wales and a #SilentSunday too:

Solstice greeting from a bunch of Welsh sheep sheltering under an ancient hawthorn by a Neolithic chambered tomb. Perfectly normal (and my second Daily #Wales, since the first random scroll pic was so gloomy).

Today’s Daily #Wales looks beautiful, but this is a view with a particular history…

It’s Llyn Celyn.

Prior to the building of the dam blocking the Afon Treweryn and the creation of this lake in 1965, the now-drowned valley was home to the village of Capel Celyn. But Liverpool needed water, apparently, so it had to go.

Sea pinks in close up (see today’s Daily #Wales for the impact en masse; these are growing on the rock outcrops just behind the meadows). More #bloomscrolling, because I just love that hashtag!

Daily #Wales today could also be a #bloomscrolling, because these are the tidal meadows filled with sea pinks (Armeria maritima) on the Dwyryd estuary. For a few days, the landscape turns an astonishing colour - the pink haze on the far side of the water? More. Fab!

Good morning from Eryri / Snowdonia. Today’s Daily #Wales is ‘the church in the dunes’, St Tanwg’s, from where - allegedly - St Patrick sailed to Ireland. From here and about 76,328 places.

Daily #Wales time - something a bit different today: the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, which is an amazing place (as well as a photogenic one). Might be a week-long theme, who knows? These are patterns - wooden forms.

Daily #Wales this morning is also a #mosstodon (I’m spoilt for choice round here, honestly). Woodland like this is now called ‘Celtic rainforest’, apparently.

My third Daily #Wales castle of the Welsh princes for this bank hol weekend is the magnificently dangerous Castell y Bere. Unsanitised and definitely worth a visit (but be careful).
