Taken on vacation trips
Another picture from our visit to the lovely Bodnant Garden in North Wales… Apart from the magnolias, daffodils were also in full bloom at the Gardens. I was not sure why the Garden map described this area as the “Ha-Ha” until I chanced upon this description in Wikipedia.
We had an unusually mild and warm start to Spring in late March with summer-like temperatures. The weather has returned to typical dull and gloomy though, with almost freezing temperatures (and snow in parts of the UK) last week. We visited beautiful Bodnant Garden in North Wales during the warm spell to view the magnolias and daffodils in magnificent bloom.
During our recent short visit to the Snowdonia National Park in Wales, I decided that the best way to take in as much scenery as possible was to make full use of our rental car to drive along scenic routes. One of the routes I found on the internet suggested taking the A5 from Betws-y-Coed to Capel Curig before switching to the A4086 onto the A498. It was along this route that I found Lake Llynnau Mymbyr with its beautiful reflections. The scenic spots were readily accessible compared to many other places — this picture was taken at a spot that was within a 5-minute leisure walk from the roadside where we had parked our car.
