Sea mist over the sea and distant cliffs,
walk the cliff path awhile.
Down into a cove, see a couple of oyster catchers with their red legs
near the surf,
then divert inland into a wooded narrow valley* –
rushing clear stream, bright fresh green leaves
fan out over bubbling clear water
(on dark bed),
small waterfall
path edges lined in many places
by wide swathes of sparkling ransoms
(strong garlic smell)
then reach main road for a short while
before entering another wooded valley deep**
with rushing water –
a beautiful crashing waterfall half way back to the coast,
hidden away.
Path near to it sloping and slippery mud–
no hard bumps, and a view worth the soiled clothes!
and so back to the coastal path to return
and pleased to see a grey wagtail on the beach.

What a perfect walk you had
What a perfect walk you had Rhiannon. Moments like this have to be captured, and you did such a fine job of taking the reader there in your poem, which I very much loved.
The photos do you proud too. Such beauty.
Thank you for sharing.
Jenny.

You always take us with you,
You always take us with you, Rhiannon and it feels almost like a mini holiday, reading your poems and the way you capture nature's elements. I could swear my body temperature changes as you describe waterfalls and mists.
