Behind the Shot

  • Golden Clouds above the Mountains

    A Donegal Seascape. I had not planned to get up for sunrise this morning as the forecast was pretty bleak. Yea I know why would I ever listen to a weather forecast! I guess though that something in me made me get out of bed just as the sun was about to rise and when I saw the potential I grabbed my bag and ran. I mean that literally. I had no time to spare.

  • A View to Dunlewy Lough

    As promised after last weeks post of a Donegal Seascape taken near Portsalon I am sharing another image from my recent trip to the…

  • A Floral Image | Buttercup in the Grass

    I spent this weekend with Family down in our usual log cabins at Skeagh Lake in County Cavan. I came across this tiny buttercup almost lost inside tall blades of lush green grass that were drenched after a downpour an hour earlier.

    A Meath Landscape | The sun rises upon the ancient walls of The Yellow Steeple in Trim, County Meath. This 14th century tower was originally part off Trim’s Augustinian Abbey of St. Mary.

  • A Floral Image | Diamond Patterns

    A close-up of the delicate petals of a Centaurea montana flower set against a soft green background. The image I am posting today is a follow-up to one I posted earlier last month although taking a different perspective on the flower also known as a Bachelor’s Button.

  • A Dublin Seascape | A Cool Sun Rises – Howth in Dublin, Ireland

    The sun slips behind a small cloud as it rises, casting a cool light upon the sea and brings a new day to Howth in Dublin in Ireland. It was just over a year ago when this image was taken, July 3rd, 2010 to be exact. I remember it so well as it was during one of the most magnificent sunrises I witnessed last year.

  • A Floral Image | A Pink Quill

    The violet flower of this Tillandsia ‘Anita’ is in full bloom. This one has been on the back burner since April. I was fascinated by this plant when I came across it in Johnstown Garden Centre in Nass, Kildare.
