I took a trip up to our Japanese Gardens based in Kildare last Friday. It has been over two years since I last visited the gardens so it was high-time for a return visit. Along with the gardens the site houses our National Stud and Saint Fiachra’s Garden which offers woodland and lakeside walks. I…
Wow that went by fast! Hard to believe its over for another year. Another thoroughly enjoyable weekend and I just wanted to say a big thanks to all those who popped by to say hello over the last couple of days.
Hard to believe a full year has gone by since the last Peoples Photography Exhibition. This will be my 3rd year exhibiting (2008 & 2009) and it is a weekend I thoroughly enjoy. Once I have made it through the busy week running up to it I find it a weekend of complete relaxation. It…
I took my maps of Dublin and Wicklow out yesterday morning to scan for possible new locations to shoot. I came across what appeared, on paper at least, to be a viable Waterfall near Glenmalure named Ess. So I packed my gear and headed out there. An hour later I was pulling into the closest…

This is another image from the back catalog, this time from a visit to the Botanical Gardens in March 2009. One thing I love about photographing flowers in the botanical gardens is that they will always display their names so I can do a little research when I get home. So for instance this flower…

The Botanical Gardens here in Dublin is a place I visit regularly (here, here, here, here, here & here). They have an abundance of floral life no matter what time of the year you visit. They have a number of beautiful iron glasshouses that date back to the mid part of the 19th century. One…
Another image from the archives although not so far into the hazy past as the last image I shared with you. This was captured during a wander around a forest located in the Dublin mountains in July 2008. I remember being very excited at the time as I was out with my brand new camera,…
Another image from my walk around the communal gardens near the house is Spain in June. This is not the first time time I have decided to look underneath the flower head and capture the finer details there. The white petals really help the flower stand out from the background and the extremely…
I have shared quite a few images from my recent trip to Spain already and here is another one. I spoke last week about a visit to a full scale reconstruction of a Moorish Castle near the area of Orihuela in a small village called San Miguel. Maybe not the large scale view you were…
