Family Photo Shoot

It was pretty hard to select a single Pleasing Photo from all the family mugshots I took at our meet-up for Mum's birthday last weekend. But eventually I selected this shot of my littlest brother:



Some other fun photos from Saturday:

Which brother looks shiftiest?

Two Pleasing Photos

Because our holiday in Snowdonia (woohoo!) followed by a busy Easter weekend leaves me a little behind with this photo-posting challenge... but the photos were taken in the relevant weeks, so I still feel more or less on track.

Firstly, taken on Saturday 31st March at perhaps the best-loved day trip destination from when the Sutcliffes lived in Cannock...


A further clue to our destination may be found in the additional photos below.

Secondly, taken in a village (does it count as a village?) we never actually visited, despite staying nearby on holiday...


Portmeirion was certainly an interesting place to visit. We both liked the way that the architect fitted the buildings into the natural setting - some of them really looked like they were growing out of the rocks. Except, of course, that everything is painted an exciting colour. Fun!

A few other contenders for the last two PP titles:

It was, of course, Stokesay Castle

Noah was delighted with Caernarfon Castle.

Isn't he sweet?

Noah calls this "A classic Kate photo'

Neolithic burial mound on Angelsey!
