Weeds in Kerry

I went out to mow the lawn and got distracted by this little guy hopping on the daisies and buttercups. Would you call these flowers or weeds ????
Cannon 7D.

Soft South Kerry rain

When time permits, I like to lay in the lawn looking out for the raindrop that glistens like a diamond, sounds mad to some but it takes all kinds........Make sure to have a black rubbish bag to save yourself getting all wet. All taken with 7D, Av F.14 focal length 55mm.

The sun is back in South Kerry.

Tortoiseshell butterfly, I think?

It was great to see the sun back in South Kerry today. These three buterflies and alot of bumble bees were very busy in the garden. All taken with cannon 450D 18- 55 lens mainly shot at focal length of around 40-55mm.

Mass Path Derrynane

On Saturday last, we used the blustery but sunny weather to stroll along the Derrynane Mass Path from Bunavalla Quay to Derrynane House and back. This walk is protected from harsh winds and leads through rich vegetation, interesting rock formations and offers beautiful views.

 

 

Calla (Bog Arum, Marsh Calla)

The Calla lives during the summer in our pond and in the wintertime in a water filled bucket in the greenhouse. In the latter one I took the opportunity to experiment a little bit with close up shots, using also an offset remote controlled flash with various colored filter screens and a diffuser. Pictures taken with Olympus E520, Zuiko Digital 14-54, FS-FL36R and Tripod.
