A path in the Wicklow mountains yesterday.

I over-dyed this wool from T. The greens are so brilliant, I almost don't want to use them. I just want to keep looking at them stacked up with their edges all whispy...

As seen on a tiny patch of land, that nature had taken over by the edge of an inner city car park.

Found this photo on the folder of the working ones, it was my favorite from the place but since I saw too much green in my photostream, I tought it might be good to upload it later.

I will be back later to catch up with you all, unfortunately I have to work to pay my bills.

though i take photographs with sharp focus usually, but off-focus ones fascinate me so much because of their beautifully diffused colours :-)

many thanks for your visits and comments!

This Green Heron wasn't the slightest bit bothered by walkers, joggers and cyclists using a path only a few feet away from where it was busy hunting for tasty treats along the edge of one of the lakes at Regional Lakes Park, Fort Myers.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

It was a fascinating sight and the most interesting thing was the fact that what appeared to be very far, was actually quite near. Its just 75 mins drive from Islamabad. But you need a jeep to reach the centre as the soil is quite soggy and soft.

this is where i met Him

Nothing sums up the joys of spring to me more than the unique green of the first Beech leaves as they unfurl! They often look more dramatic in the suns rays, but this cloudy shot somehow sums up their beauty more I think! How can such a hard shiny leaf start out so soft and delicate! Green gloves by the National is a great description!

Playing with some cross-processing effects. I think I had better hide this one from my husband as I know he won't approve:-)

As always it's better bigger so try it ~Large On Black~
