Note: not all of my images made it through the import process, some were lost in a photo sharing program I used to use. This spring there were really beautiful whitethorn (hawthorn) flowers to be seen across the countryside. Our own whitethorns were not as spectacular as last year and I have been told that often…
Unfortunately the photos from this old post have been lost Today was Winter Solstice and what a beautiful day it was. I watched the moon rise yesterday evening and observed her journey across the evening sky, knowing there would be a full lunar eclipse this morning. I thought that it was quite something to have…
It’s still Seachtain na Gaeilge – Irish language week or is it fortnight? Anyway I am going to attempt to write bilingual blog posts for a while to see how it goes. B’fheidir go mbeadh mo spellings uafásach ach is maith liom iarracht a dheanamh nios mó Gaeilge a usáid so tá súil agam go bfhuil…

Made me smile without the context of hospital walls. Your exquisite photography is enhanced by the captions.
Sorry I did not remember you are in Ireland (from my response to your comment at my place). Your online name is familiar in a friendly way. Hope you are able to see more thistle in real life soon.
Made me smile! I had a very rough day and you reminded me about the simple beauty of nature. I need to just chill out and think about the bigger picture rather than being in a funk. Did you take these pictures? They are fantastic!
Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.
Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂
As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
