The Church at Bettws-y-coed

The sun was shining brightly on the stone built church and the trees coming to leaf !
Just come home from having my monthly blood test -- , a chilly morning with ice on the windscreen of the car , but now the sun is shining brightly in spite of the chilly wind .
( best on black if you have the time ! )

What beautiful architecture, I also love the sweet green trees around the church.

[Sam]

The church is playing peek-a-boo!

[Carole Sandford]

Beautiful natural framing of the church!

[essiesue]

What a beautiful scene! Nice capture.

[Babs]

Very picturesque.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely shot - such a picturesque area Betws-y-Coed - soon won't be able to move there - very popular with the tourists.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely shot and it looks like a really pretty church.

So,pretty Beryl, love the way it stands in those trees & that sweet roof line with clock tower peeking out among the new leaves.
I am waiting for the doctors to send me for a blood test, I know I will have to have one in the next stage of my diagnosis which I have already done for myself. Haven't heard a thing since I went for x-ray. I have made an appointment for 8th May but would like a blood test now so test results would be in for when I see him next. They won't let me do it without a doctor say so! Frustrating slowness!

[Bep]

Love the architecture.
A chilly day here with rain and some showers of hail...

[Beryl Lloyd]

@gijsje Brrrr ! cold enough here too for hail !!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat This waiting game stinks Pat !! Is all this to do with your hand/wrist ? My surgical procedure for Knee replacement has been changed 4 times now the 1st date was mid April and now its mid May -I hope they will not change it again . Also have day surgery for laser eye treatment on the 5th May at the PR in Shrewsbury ! at least it will be done before my knee !! ( the eyes are getting really bad !!)
This wind is so cold today ! but at least it's dry !

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl everything is frustratingly slow specially when I have seen the way things are in NZ, so quick there but you do have to,pay a bit. I'm pretty sure mine is Rhumatoid Arthritus because it's started in the other wrist now. I'm fed up with it & now slightly worried!

[Pat Knowles]

Btw I dint think they are allowed to defer it more than three times, so I've been told!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat ,Well they have !! dates given - 11 April -8 May- 17 may - and now 16 May - phoned to query yesterday and the 16

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat 16th May is the latest offer !! I wonder is yours rheumatoid or osteoarthritis ( through wear and tear !! ) Whichever it can be so painful ! hope ypu will get your blood test and results soon ! xx

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely spring capture, nice to see the sunshine, im sitting watching the hailstones coming down, I'd hoped they had stopped!

[Lynne Hart]

[Beryl Lloyd]

@craftymeg Just had a shower of hailstones here too -- the lawn was white with hail a few mins ago !

[KWind]

Such an interesting shape... great capture.

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl not sure but it came on very suddenly.

[Pyrrhula]

A great capture of this beautiful place, trees and building.

[Lois]

Lovely scene!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat - Too many people getting sick or poorly - same on our side of the world but I've discovered if you ask for a cancellation - its very good!
Lovely to see the landscape around this pretty area once again!

[Daisy Miller]

lovely shot.

[Rachel]

This is a pretty little church. I hope your results are good for your blood test.

[Taffy]

The scene captivates with the beautiful stone and the surrounding contexts. Hope the blood test goes well.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great memories for me of a beautiful holiday in North Wales, Beryl. We stayed there for around 3/4 days.

[John]

Such a peaceful Spring scene!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Beautifully nestled in its Spring setting! Nicely composed too! I guess you have to be from Wales to read and know how to pronounce the name? 🤔 FAV!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@skipt07 Yes , a true Welsh girl , Skip !! -- quote " you can take the girl out of Wales ,but not the Welsh out of the girl !! " ( no matter how old she is ) !!!!!!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@beryl - I do have Welsh ancestors from my mother's side of the family, but somewhere along the line we lost the ability to speak it.

[carol white]

A lovely composition and capture
