Who knows what lies behind the old windows, on a dark stormy night with only the wind calling. Happiness and sadness from times past, light the imagination .

Window to the past..

Thank you for viewing.

Played around with some close-up photography tonight, a couple of small clear beads and even smaller shell’s on fine sand to play around with. Here’s the shell photograph.

Any one home…

Day 36

No one to play with.

Thank you for viewing

Right just over a month into my 365 and some say I’m bloody mad for starting it. Some evenings after working all day and only a couple of spare hours left in the day, I think they might be right. One of the great things that happens is how quick you start to pick up on possible photo opportunities. Also I believe, a photograph has always came my way. Take for example the other day, with the light dropping fast here after 3.30pm. Driving home and I had thoughts about what to shoot, when passing a field I noticed four Alpaca’s standing there posing for me. Parked up and across a muddy lane and there they were. My models standing elegant with heads up asking to be photographed. With the last of the winter sun dropping like a stone down a well, I grabbed my shots.

Then other days you go to look at somewhere you think might offer something, like the evening I got down to a local lough for the setting sun. Was setting up when a young lady arrived with a black Labrador. I asked if I could take some photographs while Bernie (the Labrador) fetched sticks from the water. Some great photo’s were got that evening. Exchange emails and the next evening I mailed a few photo’s to her and her dad. So has well has meeting some lovely people on my challenge, I also am finding new ways of seeing. Trying new ideas and types of photography. So marks out of ten would give it a ten, its been a great experience this first month. Give it another month or so and then I might hit myself for starting a 365 challenge. But not to hard….

Thank you from reading.

Day 35/365

With the rain and flooding around this last few days it had to be a water theme.

Thank you for looking.

Day 33

Stopped in Trim in County Meath  on my way south in Ireland. Crossing the River Boyne I saw Trim Castle on the banks. After parking up I set up the camera in the car and then walked down the path beside the river. Got a few good shots of the castle and met a few locals out walking. So below is my photograph of today.

Thank you for viewing.

Day 32/365

Came across these on the way home this evening, a field with four alpacas grazing. Not so rare in Ireland but not common either.
