We get a lot of weather in the Welsh Borders. But this didn’t stop me doing my walk this lunchtime. Although, I soon questioned my wisdom of going out in the rain when there were also several strong gusts of wind. Hold onto that umbrella tightly!

Rainbow Snapper
You should never put yourself in danger when taking a photograph. And I didn’t, when I snapped this rainbow above Caer Caradoc from the top of Ragleth Hill.

Ffotograffydd Simon
Last week I took myself off to Pembrokeshire – a popular destination for those of us who live on the Welsh Borders. It’s a stunning part of the British Isles, and a region that also get sits fair share of weather, much to Snapper Simon’s pleasure. In fact, Snapper Simon was successful a couple of times during his Pembrokeshire break.
Snapper Sunset
I nipped out for a short walk before dinner and managed to take a photo of the Long Mynd from a slightly different angle. Then, while I was sat at the table eating my dinner the evening regional news came on and across the studio there looked to be a photo I recognised ….

“It was definitely a Snapper Simon photo,” he confirmed, then continued on his way.
The surreality of it though came from the fact that I knew not who this gentleman, was, yet somehow he knew me as Snapper Simon!
