It is damaged beyond repair or usability. The protective top is regularly moved askew by wind and heavy snow, the moss thrives on the base plate. The lattice holder mount can’t be moved anymore and the whole thing is crap anyway. 🤣
So, @evelynefoerster and I decided to get a #BigGreenEgg instead. It's smaller, can be put away (and protected against weather). We’ll see how that turns out. 🙃🍗🥩🍕🥗🌽
The second full day of our visit to #BannauBrycheiniog was devoted to visiting #PenYFan, the tallest #peak in south #Wales. This was a very nice #walk of 15 km with some steep ascents and descents but no climbing.
Starting from the car park, a path started to climb gently upwards. You can see Pen Y Fan on the horizon near the centre of the image.
The internet has been fighting over what to call those tubes of clear plastic, filled with rainbow-colored ice in flavors that don't appear in nature (blue raspberry, anyone?). Here's a look at the online battle. What do you call them — and if your favorite name isn't on the list, comment and tell us where you're from!
The memories of summer, at the cottage, watching the critters in the yard, having a morning coffee.
The sun so hot after sunrise, the deck is too warm, so I moved it out a bit into the breeze this year. Replace the floor with patio stones. I'm looking forward to sitting on those new patio stones next summer, and doing this again.
I'd be sitting here and suddenly a duck would appear beside me, or a skunk!
What's the weather in your part of the world looking like today?
Here in Winston Salem, NC, it's going to be a decently hot day as you can see. We'll get up to about 82F, which for me is about 40 degrees way too hot!
Dahlia works at the vegetable stand where I buy tomatoes. She's almost 10 and very chill, as you can see.
Ethan, her Dad, suggested I try his Biltmore variety of tomatoes. They resemble beefsteaks in color and flavor, and some have gathered tops like many heirloom varieties.
Ethan's family grow the produce they sell and will have some variety of tomatoes through early November.
My daughter and her friend take an adventurous leap into summer, and by "summer", I mean the Pacific ocean. Shot on the super telephoto on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. https://flic.kr/p/2oM7SHu
As the summer is winding down there are still some mornings that look like this. Joni was quite young in this photograph, but the intensity never wanes.
Make it as good a day as you can!
By global standards, the #waterfalls near #Pontneddfechan are not huge but I still think they’re impressive. Here is the largest one which is perhaps 15 m high. The recent rains meant that there was a good volume of flow on that day. This one is called #SgwdGwladus. I like the #mist rising from the #spray in this scene.
Last week, we had a day trip to #Torquay but rather than drive or take the train, we decided on a different route. The first leg was a #cycle trip to #Exmouth, about 17 km, followed by a boat trip around the #Devon#coast. The weather was a bit changeable but there were only prospects of short showers.
