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 time spent in Spain and from the same series discussed in Tuesdays post where I spent a pleasant 15 minutes with a group of geese and their young. In this image the goose has decided to take a little dip to cool off. You can see a number of Finches(?) busying…
As promised earlier in the week I will continue to share some of the images I captured during my trip to Spain last June. We found a really nice spot for dinner just outside San Miquel near Orihuela in what for all intense and purposes was the grounds of a Moorish castle from the Medieval…
My wife and I returned to my parents summer house is the south of Spain in June to recharge our batteries. In the 10 days I was there I rarely had the camera out of my hands, it was brilliant. I have quite a few images to share with you over the next while and…
