My new lens arrived today! I got the Nikkor f/2.8 80-200mm. Was raining today so I did not get to many pictures but I did manage to get some.
Should get some more pictures with it soon I hope. I love it so far.

A journey though Wales: Part III
This is the last and final installment of my trip though Wales. There will not be to much text as most of these pictures are from walks I did around the village I was staying at.
Like much of the landscape most of it was lush, green grass on rolling hills. There were some scarce “forests” but nothing like Canada. The hills were rolling hills and there were never anything to steep to climb up. You could climb up almost any hill you could get to. The next few pictures are from the top of a hill I walked up.
Since it was
spring there were lots flower
s 
coming out which added 
a
nice splash of clol
our.
This is most of my pictures from my trip. Will still be making a post about the Gumball 3000 but I will break it up with some more recent pictures soon.

A journey though Wales: Part II
I did a few day trips while I was in Wales, as well as some longer walks. One of these day trips was to were the family I was staying at goes on there summer vacation. It is near the Snow den mountains and was up in the hills. They rented a cottage on a lake that was very quiet but in the summer apparently gets busy. The cottage they used was a very nice stone building and on the same land they had a nice guest house which had just been repaired from a fire.
The surrounding country side was a real mix of lake country, re-planted pine forests, and
b
rush.
This ends the secound update from Wales check back tomorrow for the final update and then the travel pictur
es will be done!

A journey though Wales: Part I
Finally got round to going though my pictures from my trip to Wales. On my trip to the UK I spent a week or so in London and a week in Wales. I was lucky to have relative in Wales who were more than happy to let me stay there (thank you very much). I was first picked up in Liverpool after taking the train from London. When I got off the train in Liverpool I had a few hours to look around, since I had no idea were to go or what to do I spent those hours down at the Albert docks which was fun.
Were I was going in Wales was a small village called Cyffylliog. This village does not have many people in it I would say no more than 200 residence. There was not a whole lot to do and I loved it there. Part of that may have been the amazing weather I had, never colder than 16 and always sunny. The next few pictures are of the “village center”. From right to left: the town phone both, houses at the center of town and the true center of the village, the pub.
Other than going to the pub I was left to explore the village and surrounding countryside. The country side was beautiful. Farmers fields that are rolling grass hills that were covered in bright green grass with the occasional sheep scattered about. There were some very nice walking trails right around the village which had two rivers (streams?) run though it. The rivers were very dry as it had rained little and was very hot. and sunny.
This is the first installment of a multi part series of images more will follow tomorrow to break this up a little.
