Stalking the Cat

A year ago no one would have guessed that we would be locked at home, separated from our friends and family, struggling to keep our emotions and feelings in check.

On top of it all, the weather has been pretty dry and sunny for a while now, tempting people to leave their houses and break the confinement rules. While some of us are staying put and being good we read about others that go to the beaches, have fun, who knows how careful they are....

Not very fair is it!!

So to occupy myself the other day I stalked the cat in the garden with my camera...Why not..For me it was fun... Doing your hobbies and things you enjoy helps make the time pass faster and it is definitely more entertaining.

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?
