I just love this time of year, I love the smells, the sounds, the light, the mists, the sunsets and sunrises. I managed to get a few nice photographs lately and wanted to share them with you. Mirrored Lake at Sunset
We have had a few beautiful days of sun, light winds and starry clear nights. This week in August every year there are amazing night skies with shooting stars (Perseids) in the northern sky. Check out the Astronomy Ireland website for more details. If you are blessed with clear skies then you owe it to yourself…

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.

As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
