After the hailstorm - north of Carreglefn Looking along this unclassified road, to the north of Carreglefn, just after a hailstorm whiteout that forced me to stop driving. I was fortunate to be in this quiet location at the time, but there were a number of accidents on the main A55 road, possibly caused by the same event.

Wiwer goch A red squirrel, made even brighter by the late afternoon sunlight, was scampering up a tree with a nut in its mouth as I passed by with my dog. Clearly hoping to render itself invisible, the squirrel froze and stayed in the same position until we'd passed.
