Lets celebrate

Today is 11.12.13. 

A day that deserves a post of its own just because it's such a great number which will never ever happen again in all history of mankind. I find it so absolutely cool for no particular reason at all, just cracks me up. 

So, for this occasion, I have prepared some special photos to mark a special day. 
Lets celebrate with some nature photography from me.

Enjoy everyone and please leave a comment to tell me what you think! 

thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my images

Purple morning

     Have you ever been to the same place over and over? And have you noticed how it can look different every time? 
     Today I went to the Bog Rod in Oughterard. I have been here thousands of times, but I never saw such a purple haze everywhere.  It was absolutely out of this world! 

Beauty in the blue twilight

My favorite time of the day is just before the sun rises, while the light is still blue, the contrast is soft and gentle and everything blends into mysterious shapes and fabulous textures. 

Moments like that make my day better and happier.

Enjoy the beauty of the blue twilight with me.

LOOKING FOR LIGHT

It feels like it's been raining for ages. 
Well, certainly since last year!  

I just came back home completely soaked from head to toe. The rain was soft, serious and monotonous and it felt like it would never stop. Not today for sure. The worst part of it all is the lack of light and colour. It's dim and gloomy and the only colours available are the numerous shades of grey and brown and the cold bluish tones of the evergreens. That about sums it all for today. Except the water drops. They are everywhere, on every branch and blade of grass or weed. They sparkled in the gloom enchanting and delightful, making me forget the cold and the wet until I reached home. 

Imagine, walking through the hushed bogs, there is only the patter of rain, and the splashing of your feet. The light is low, the windblown trees surround the road and you wade through the puddles, step after step. And then suddenly looking up from the wet ground you realize you almost missed the best part of the day. 

The trees!! Decorated with millions of droplets 

on every tip and every branch, they sparkle in the semidarkness like jewels. What a sight! 

And that, really makes the day for me!! Now I can forget about the rain and the permanent semidarkness. 

There is a light and it is all around me.
