Photo of Dromoland WoodsAs much as I love editing photographs, it’s great to get a break from the computer and go get some fresh air. Dromoland is just a short drive from my house and its meandering paths through the woods and golf course make it a great place to go to take some time out and recharge my batteries. I brought my camera along with me recently to photograph the bluebells that had sprung up throughout the woods. Here are a handful of my favourites – I hope you like them! Continue reading →

Sweet! Gold awards are difficult to achieve, last year I only managed this for a single image so it’s a great start to the year! Here’s the photo, it was taken in Grand Central Terminal on the night before Thanksgiving so it was chock-a-block.

On Saturday morning a gang of us set off from Cronin’s Yard at the base of the mountain with this cross as our destination. Our spirits were high and so were the clouds surrounding the mountains! Undeterred we ventured on making our way up through Hags Glen. Continue reading →
