Clear Skies and Flowers

Lots more photos now from the past couple of days. They're a lot more colourful than the last couple of sets I posted. Thankfully I've finally tired of the gimmicky features on my new toy. Anyway, these show what the world looked like when you turned away from yesterday's sea mist.

Sea Mists in Springtime

I’m a bit wary of tempting fate saying this, but I think Winter is finally over. She may have taken her time getting here but Spring has finally graced us with her presence and, better yet, yesterday I got a chance to get out and enjoy her glorious splendour.

You can't really see much of it in these particular photos, though. I live by a lough, which isn't a lake, rather an inlet of the ocean. You can usually see right across to the hills on the other side but yesterday a thick sea mist made it look like the open Atlantic. Check out the last one, for example, where you can just spot the tip of Inch Island poking out above the cloud. Anyway, it was mad because while behind me the sun was lighting up the daffodils there were times the shoreline seemed almost monochromatic. More seasonal photos to follow tomorrow but for now try not to get Wings stuck in your head.

Thank You (x3)

Right, so I’ve lots of gratitude to convey today. First off, following my previous moaning about how my own man never paints me fairies, my little sisiter’s beau has taken pity and created this beautiful little madam for me. Her name is Sioga Na Gheimhreadh, which means winter fairy as Gaeilge. Thanks Poochie! (And who says a little grumbling ever hurt anyone?)

Secondly, I only just realised that I forgot to thank my newest followers in my last post. I don’t have a link for the awfully familiar looking Pecka, so instead I’ll just direct you to the ever tasteful Amazing Foxworth Blog (the only other one she follows, which happens to be by a good friend of mine. Who are you Pecka?) I do have a link for the lovely Claire, however, who has probably the best fairy tale blog out there. Plus I think her page has one of the prettiest banner headers I’ve come across to date:

Well anyway ladies and gent, thanks again. It really is much appreciated!
