Just one more shot from my walk around Caerphilly Castle this afternoon.

Hope you all enjoy whatever's left of Sunday... see you all tomorrow.

Another of my favourite old ruins; Caerphilly Castle.

An incredibly powerful stronghold in its day, Caerphilly's walls were never breached until the advent of gunpowder.

As you know I always find it hard to pass a rusty object, but sometimes I think even the most attractive rusty thing deserves a little extra treatment...

I saw this rusting ring fixed into a wall at the old iron works in Clydach Gorge. Snapping the image was a must. When I was looking at it earlier this morning and considering posting it here, I decided things could be enhanced if the image was given a 'canvas' background; you know canvas prints have that wonderful rough texture and it just seemed so apt for an image like this.

My chum Tylluan posted recently about bird strike and how they test aircraft windscreens by flinging dead chickens at them... not the frozen variety though.

Well anyway I was walking past this pond minding my own business when Gander George here decided I was on his patch and shot out the pond and straight at me!

My first idea was to snap a quick pick... Gander George's idea was have a quick peck... no wonder some people use geese for guard dogs, this bugger had absolutely no fear... I just thank Nature she didn't design geese with teeth!

I tried shooing and shouting, but the goose just kept on pecking and flapping at me so in the end I made off down the path...

The really funny thing was, old George here chased me along the path flapping and squawking trying to nip at my backside... it's a good job for him there were other people about or he'd have ended up in the boot of my car and found himself being roast in the oven for a tasty Sunday lunch!
