reflections

All todays reflections have been taken along the Severn river at Newtown Powys

another Welsh valley full of leaves.

” Hint” look on the house roof.   all settled down for the night  poor sheep have to sleep outside tonight some bugger has stolen the barn  roof slates.

the montgomery canal pump house.

looking down the wall that housed the water wheel
looking down the overflow pipe under the pump house
standing on the low water line of the river severn looking down the over flow pipe

Our 12 month old Siamese  kitten has become a cat burglar, totally deranged  anything with a tail on it is hers like this pear. thats what happens when one buys them toy mice to play with to keep them amuzed as little kittens,pears are also a good play toy as they also have a tail.

most of her mice are now tailess and today she came home with a new one it even has a squeek.

fully relaxed in her bed on the radiator in the sun,( with her ill gotten gains)

I wonder if its a hint to get her some more mice .

another paw stroke!    Sylvester the Maine  coon  as always laid back, taking no notice  because maine coon do not talk siamese.

Sylvester in laid back mode

Sylvester  our Maine Coon is almost Eleven, that makes him as old as me  so he also is retired, now the winter is coming he has claimed his place on the radiator as near to  me as possible  while I am on the computer. since my return from Egypt 3 months ago  he has become a constant companion  .

Leaves in the valley”    on this slate roof on the Cafe in the Dolerw Park, Newtown Powys
Autumn is upon us as one can see walking through the park
Crab apple windfalls among the autumn leaves
yellow plums all going to waste
Autumn over the River severn inevitably leaves will end up in the river,
The roof made from natural slate and in the shade of trees will get moss , as the valley will also catch the falling autumn leaves off the trees.
