Thunder storm
Took this photograph 10 minutes before posting here. Sitting reading when it darken over and the wind rose. The crack of thunder crawled closer and then the rain beat it’s rhythm on the roof. Looking out the window the lough danced to the sound and beat off wind and rain. The rain making the clouds bleed like colour on a wet watercolour painting. I love nature and the was it plays with things around us.
Thank you
I was listening to this while writing this, This man is magic.

Big sky in County Monaghan
Walking the dog and the sun has just dropped behind the hill in the distance. The sky caught my eye, so leaving the dog to investigate whatever his nose was following. I set up and took this shot, doing very little processing this is day 248’s photograph.
I would like to thank you all for your likes and comments and with around 116 days still to go I am already planing my next project. There are days doing a 365 that push you to your limit, for me its time. There never seems to be that extra hour in the day but it also has taught me to think and find a photo quickly. I try to keep the processing to a minimum, and have found myself returning to B&W photography. I use to love shooting on B&W film many years ago, and my new projects will all be in monochrome.

The rain swan.
Was passing a local lough and saw a couple of swans grazing in a field beside it. I pulled into a small car park beside them and was able to take this shot through the open side window. I run it in HDR in Photoshop where it helped to bring out the rain.
Thank you for viewing.

bug eyed
Shot hand held with a 105mm macro lens. Took a few shots from different angles and in every one this little fellow was looking at me or his reflection in the camera lens.

Dark side
Got the waders on and waded out into the lough reeds. Standing thigh deep in the reeds I took this shoot. The silhouette gives a feel of the mystery that lies under the dark waters. The what if or whats in there.
