Sorry everyone for not being on Flickr much lately. It's been a very busy time at work, many staff on leave or sick. Now I'm on holidays, so looking forward to some R&R and time to go out photographing!! And yes, I'm slowly catching up with you all:)

I love the formation of clouds especially at sunset when you bring in all that wonderful colour. This is taken out the front of my house on a Spring Sunset Evening.
My daughter says it almost looks like a Love Heart in the sky.

Portglenone Forest
On Friday afternoon I took a run out to Portglenone in search of some bluebells. Initially walking through I was very unsure as to whether or not I would find any or not, but decided I'd try and make the most of it in any case. I went on a path I wouldn't usually begin on and came upon this patch of bluebells and daisies mingled in together. The way the light was hitting it was a real thing of beauty and I spent ages looking at the intricate detail in these flowers as they danced in the spring wind and sunlight.
Great are the details that the Master puts into His creation - right down the minute details that we often do not see. This spring why not stop, look and give your soul a reason to praise His name for His marvellous works!!
Enjoy!!
Hello everyone! I had good intentions of sharing this image the 1st day of spring; however, my life has been turned upside down lately.
About a week and a half ago, I was at work and I got a call telling me that my husband Gary was injured badly while at work. He had fallen off a 10 ft ladder and had hit his head and back. Thankfully his head is okay, but his back did not fair out as well. He broke 4 vertebrae (bursting one of them) and he required surgery to repair and stabilize his spine. The surgeon did a spinal decompression and fusion from his T10 vertebrae down to his L3. He did have numbness of his legs (likely caused by the shattered bone fragments touching his spinal cord) but the decompression corrected that.
This accident has certainly been a wake up call. Life is so fragile and not to be taken for granted. His situation could have been so much worse, and I am very thankful it wasn't, even though this has been hard on both of us. I have been stressed and exhausted. While my stress is subsiding, the exhaustion will be there for awhile as more of my time will be taken up to getting things done. My teenage son has been doing alot of the "Dad" jobs at the farm while I have been taking on more at home and once the weather gets warmer I will be busier outside. The outpouring of love and support from our friends and family have been wonderful. We are truly blessed to have such an amazing support system. Gary is home now and is slowly getting better. It will be a long journey for him as he will be off work for several weeks, maybe months, and that will be very hard for him as he is a very active person who can't sit still. We have come to the conclusion that our farming will need to take a sideline this year and we will rent out the land. Those things are not as important as the recovery will be and he knows he needs to focus on that and get his strength back so he get back to what he was like before the accident and doing the activities that he likes doing.
I may not be as active on Flickr but I will be around here and there. Photography is an outlet for me. This image was taken a few weeks ago when I was working on a previous photo challenge. We aren't getting much Spring weather today (more cold temperatures and snow squalls) but we will get there...
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy! I look forward to visiting your streams and seeing what you've been sharing. :)
Well, not quite spring but two days prior. And not quite snow but the flower, spring snowflake (Leucojum vernum).
As seen in a garden, in...

▶ "Leucojum vernum, called spring snowflake, is a perennial bulbous flowering plant species in the family Amaryllidaceae that includes onions and daffodils. It is native to central and southern Europe, and is considered naturalized in north-western Europe, including Great Britain and parts of Scandinavia, and in the U.S. states of Georgia and Florida. It is cultivated as a spring-flowering ornamental bulbous plant, and is naturally found in damp and shady habitats."

Even the trees are putting on new growth. This is a hickory, I think. Even the chickadees and titmice seem a little perkier than usual. (The titmouse is opening a sunflower seed.)
