Another image from my recent travels. This time one of my favorite subjects – floral macro. These flowers were in the garden of the log cabin we were staying in in Cavan. It was great to see them still blooming so late in the year. You can just see the single drop of dew hanging…
Taken at 8am just as the sun was rising on a very frosty morning on Skeagh in Bailieborough, Co Cavan. It was such a peaceful start to the day and everything was covered in the lightest of frosts when I arrived to the lake.

As we begin to head into Autumn I thought it would be interesting to look back over my Autumn/Winter catalog. We rarely get snow here in Dublin but last winter proved the harshest in over 30 years, with heavy snow that lasted for months. The country was brought to its knees, so unprepared as we…
