Enjoy and see you soon

NICE TO SEE YOU and HAPPY EASTER

 OK.  I admit, it has been a while since I was here in this blog.

Why..Well I suppose, life, work and all the rest..never enough time for this, never enough time for that...and my most favourite thing to do suffered the most.

It is sad really. When we let life takes us where we don't really want to go.

But today I decided to come back with a few images from Connemara, images that I cherish .

So nice to see you again and hopefully I will stick here for longer this time.

By the way HAPPY EASTER

and just to keep the spirit of Easter here is something I made yesterday

  

Before the sun rises

For me one of the best moments of the day is right before the sun rises above the horizon and a few minutes after that.

Later on the day rolls out and everything changes -the light, the feeling in the air, people start to wake up and make noises from their houses and you can feel it in the atmosphere around you and that early morning feeling that the world belongs to you vanishes slowly.

Believe me, it's one of the best feelings ever. There is only you, the singing #birds, and the waking #nature around you. Peaceful, Invigorating, refreshing and simply amazing.

Before the sun rises, my favourite part of the day.

One gloomy winter day

Here we are walking under the whiteness of the sky 

and only my boxer is excited because we just ran into two more dogs. 

Sadly they didn't want to play being too old 

but hey my boy gets excited about everything. 

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW

OK. If this is all the cold, frost and snow we are going to see this winter, 

it is not bad at all!!

We had a few days in the falling snow and it is enough, 

now I am waiting for the green and listening to the chirping birdies outside my window.

I took some great shots out there in the bogs for the last few days

 and that will keep me going for a while.

Now! Bring on the spring flowers and the bright warm sun!

MOODY WINTER DAYS

There are days when the weather can be as moody as any person around us.

One moment clear sky, the next foggy and drizzling quietly or blasting gales and rainbows in between...

If that is not moody, I don't know what is... 

Because this is how it's been for a while now and everyone around me is either sick or moody as hell...

What shall we do? 

Well, I go out and take some photos to chill and mentally cool down. How about you?

PROJECT Walking Connemara

2018 was a fantastic year for my photographic development, a real stepping stone. Where I go from here is all up to me.

It was during last summer that my new project was born. What is my project about? It is about love. My love for Connemara, my love for my dogs which I walk every day. My never dying love for photography that keeps me going every single day. And when you mix all that together all those images came out that I have been posting with the hashtag #WalkingConnemara and this is how this project was born.

Walking is the best thing a person can do. It's free, it's therapeutic, it clears the mind and cleanses the soul. When I walk I get my best ideas and inspirations. 

I am also extremely lucky that I live in such an amazingly beautiful part of the world where mind-blowing scenery is literally a few minutes walking distance from any village or city. 

I walk Connemara every day and I never tire of the views, rough winding bog roads, country cottages and magnificent mountains. I try to catch the amazing colours and beautiful ever-changing light of Connemara to bring happiness and joy to anyone who sees my images. 

I want to make people feel better and inspired after seeing my captures of Connemara, I want them to say Wow, this is amazing, and I want to go there! And the best part is you don't have to travel far because you can just walk there with me.

Let's walk Connemara together..
