Dublin, one beautiful morning

Finally I managed to see Dublin in good weather. 

So far every time I went there, it was during a weather warning, but I had to go for my lectures, so there was no way around it. 

Walking along the river in the hushed early morning with the sun just peaking out from the soft wispy clouds was simply magical. Even the gulls were quiet and relaxed just sitting there looking at me.

Have a look t early morning Dublin, just waking up, drowsy and peaceful...

 

 thanks for stopping by!!!

AUGHNANURE CASTLE one lovely summer day

Every year at the end of August there is an open day at Aughnanure castle.

This is a fantastic event for grown ups and children alike and the locals keep coming here the same as the tourists every year - just for the fun of it. There is music, crafts displayed and lots of little children running happily around with painted faces. 

A fabulous way to spent a couple of hours relaxing and enjoying the beautiful grounds. 

Start from the car park, then slowly ramble along the river feasting your eyes on the wonderful and rich summer green. Go across the bridge and through the thick entrance gates and here you are!! it is a beautiful welcome with colourful flags flapping in the breeze. 

Follow me and you shall see!!

The Fantastic Winter Colours of Connemara

Usually people BELIEVE that in winter nature has no colour, that there is only grey, brown and nameless mixtures in between. 

So I am on a mission to PROVE everyone who believes that WRONG. 

Have a look at the fantastic winter colours of Connemara. The gorgeous rusty and golden hues mixing together to oblivion.  Enjoy
