I posted a photo of this tree last week, from a viewpoint about 60 degrees to the right. Many people liked that shot, so I thought I'd give you all an alternate view, with colour this time, as Scot Howe suggested it might be nice in colour. Well, here ya go, Scot... I've desaturated it a touch in keeping with the mood -- both atmospheric and personal that day. Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.

El mes de las flores... no quería dejarlo pasar...
Siento llevar unos días sin pasar por vuestras galerías... unos pocos problemillas y mucho trabajo me lo han impedido... ya mismo lo estoy solucionando... je
BESOSSSSSSSS...
Thanks to Nigel for the title! Clochan Pier, Mayo, Ireland - A revised edit of a photo posted back in November. Matching my mood today; pulled a groin muscle yesterday, and I'm sore and cranky.
Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland
These hardy creatures are found roaming all over Achill and are found in some pretty inaccessible places being almost as agile as goats.
They have these colour markings on the wool to signify that the sheep is part of a particular farmer's flock given that they are grazed on the commons which is nearly the whole island (even the local golf course!).
They are also pretty fearless and don't even blink at passing cars while resting on the side of the road. I am so used to slowing right down for sheep at home, it took a while to get used to seeing passing cars speeding past (or being in one!).
Also, given their ubiquity on the island, there is a bit of a need to tread carefully when walking across grassy meadows and fields!
According to what I was told, their wool is almost of no value but their meat is.
This is third third in the series that I am posting from my landscape photography workshop on Achill.
With water levels unusually low this summer, this lonely rock stands on what at first glance appears to be a sandy shore, but is actually a massive limestone slab. A harsh environment, but still beautiful.
The lattice windows are uncommon in this part of western Ireland. Gate houses often feature unique architectural details meant to impress visitors and, sometimes, reflect the design of the Manor House.
Noss Mayo in the South Hams Devon is such a beautiful place even in grey overcast weather. On a personal note its nice to get back to my photography as I had not felt much like it since my mum sadly passed away in march this year.
Another frosty image from Co. Mayo, Ireland, but this time (obviously) in black and white. With the sun blocked my clouds, the festive frostiness takes a somber turn.
Ordinarily I'd clone out those power lines in a heartbeat, but studying this composition, I realised they were essential to a story. If trees could think, both in life and in death, would each 'tree' seen here be envious of each other? One, grown strong and mighty, cut to have use carrying electricity, but denied it's old age; the other, wild and free, yet cruelly misshaped by weather and environment, with no future. other than an ignominious death? (I can hear someone out there saying, "Shut up, Fergal...it's just an ugly tree and a power pole. Get a life.") Seen at Aghinish, Co. Mayo, Ireland.
