I FELT AUTUMN IN THE AIR TODAY

 As I was walking Flickr this morning, I noticed a difference in the air.  

It suddenly felt like autumn.

Those first signs always make me feel sad because I know that the darkness is coming.

The short days, the cold wind and the long rainy afternoons...days....weeks. 

No more trips to the beach for me, or swimming.. 

THIS YEAR I never even made it to the beach even though it is 20km away...Sigh..

Foggy Days

September is rolling in slowly. Foggy days are sneaking in after the summer heat. It makes for spectacular moments best enjoyed in solitude and with good music. 

My favourite time of the day has always been very early before sunrise. Maybe because it has turned into a habit now since I've been working as a baker for the last 15 or so years. It only takes 3 weeks to create or get rid of a habit, so you see, so I had enough time to start enjoying this.

I love the emptiness. I love the fact that there is no one else around at this time of the day. It almost feels like the world is all for me. It doesn't matter that it's still dark or there is light as long as I get that fresh undisturbed feeling, the air is so crisp and clean, the music is in my years and my dog is with me. 

Of course I have my camera as well. This is when my mind is most creative. 

What else could I need?!  

 

Patch, I miss you

There is no way I can express how much I wish he was here. 

I was listening to a song that reminded me of him so much I decided to post a few photos of Patch.

Baby I Miss your beautiful soul.

New Year New Beginnings

Here goes another year...

I don't know what to say, it seams as if time is simply flying by..

I do hope 2019 will be as fruitful photography speaking as 2018 was. I had a fantastic summer walking a lot and taking numerous amount of images, also developed a new relationship with my photography on a completely new level ...All is well

 Enjoy my faves from 2018

I FOUND A TREASURE

Today is a pretty miserable day weather wise. 

It is raining or drizzling very consistently, enough to make you thoroughly wet if you are out and about walking the dogs totally unprepared.

I was trudging  along keeping pace with the guys when suddenly I found a treasure.
A real sign that autumn is here but we don't know it yet.

Actually I can see the change in the bog lands. The rusty glow in the grasses and the wind blown rushes. It's all there in the tree leaves and the chill of the early morning breeze..

And then there is this, just one among the last of the green.

FLOWER DREAM

Connemara Pony Says Hi

Recently I met this lovely Connemara Pony. He is like the mascot of Moycullen.

He lives in a field right before all the hubbub happens. 

I also cannot resist a good photo when I see one, 

He is SO charming!!  

He can be really friendly or be just so bored and ignore you to death no matter what you do. 

I guess everyone tries to grab his attention when passing.

On a few occasions I got lucky!!

Here is me and the pretty pony from Connemara that lives in the Heart of Moycullen 

Who knew ponies like Tiësto?
