My Special Place

I don't know what it is about this section of the River Vista road in Oughterard but it pulls me back over and over again. 

I keep taking photos there any time of the day or the year, no matter the weather, rain or shine, dark or light. 

It is simply a special place. My special place. The magic is in the air as silly as it sounds. 

I will let you judge for yourselves.  

So here you go, a few Postcards from My Special Place

Here is how it looks today on the 16th of May 2015

My Special Place in Autumn

and one Christmas Morning  

So tell me, isn't this a special place?!

May Bank Holiday Nature walk

Once May Bank holiday is here and gone we expect the summer to start right away with great weather and blue skies...

Be realistic, look around, the leaves are still tiny, the cherries and apple trees are still blossoming... Even the hawthorns are nowhere ready to bloom, so I say, summer can wait a bit more.

If you take a walk through the countryside you can really feel it very well. The green hasn't arrived yet, not really, the golden winter grasses are still hugging the hills and fields... Some trees are still naked even at the beginning of May, amazing this is spring for you in Ireland.

Just a bit longer, people, May Bank holiday is just over and the summer will be here soon before we know it.

For now lets enjoy the photos from this May Bank Holiday Nature walk 

 

Thanks for walking with me

March snow in Connemara

It is a rare thing indeed to have a March snow in Connemara these days. 

Apparently this year 2015, there is snow in many places not only in Europe but across the ocean as well. All rather unusual and for some freaky and bothersome but for those like me who can not wait for an unusual circumstances to grab the camera and go out taking photos this was the perfect excuse!!

So here are a few shots from that gorgeous Sunday morning when I woke up and there was a lovely dusting of March snow in Connemara.
