Swallow In Flight

I watched them get bolder and stronger, until the day it was time to start the long journey South. It’s always with a little pang in the heart, when they leave and with them their joyful ways, knowing all the dangers and challenges they will meet. I wish them well and despite my love for autumn and winter, I can’t wait to hear their excited little chirps when they return again next year. As long as the swallows returns, something is still right in the world.

Patterns

I am not sure why this particular image spoke to me today. In black and white and in colours. But loudly it spoke and share I must. Such is the way with art. It has a mission wider than me and I don’t always get to understand the information. Until later. Or not at all.

“That’s How The Light Gets In”

“There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
Leonard Cohen

I Stand

I Stand

I stand
My face towards the sun
A smile emerging
I step
I am
I stand

The Presence of a Cat

Early frosty mornings, coffee made, fire lit, and I’m watching Her Ladyship watching the fire.

Letting Go

There is simplicity to be revealed in letting go. There is breath. There is listening. There is allowing. There is the currents of life carrying you to what is not yet known. There is a met in the simplicity of being. There is rest. There is trembling. There is fear. There is grief. There is darkness. There is light.

And there is free.

“That’s a wrap”

2022 was a year of giving my all and everything to my dreams. My dreams had been patient. And they hadn’t given up on me. This year their time had finally come and was expressed through my photography art and through ‘Hanne’s Cottage’, beautifully linked. (There are more dreams and

Hanne’s Cottage

“It is a dream come true and it is a beautiful way to support another love of mine; my art and photography. Speaking of which; ‘Hanne’s Cottage’ will have my work on the walls. It will become with time like staying in a photography gallery. Everything can be purchased directly off the walls.”

Burren Path

Our lives are woven by paths. Many of them. Moving through life, one foot in front of the other. Sometimes the paths create quite a maze. Although some paths are straightforward others are rather mystical. Some paths are crossing one another, maybe several times or they’re seemingly doubling back on themselves yet each time it is still a new path, a new moment, even if it more feels like a two step back… Yet, it is not. There is never a going back. Not on these kind of paths, the paths of life. And death.

The Path

Today an older poem resurfaced for my inner eye along with the photograph from Big Sur. Two paths joining up, along with hundreds of other paths. Doing what they always have done and will continue to do; being one path leading home. Inner as well as outer.

Woodland Whispers

Connected Simplicity

Trees. Beautiful quiet presences. Shy canopies sharing harmoniously and generously the space with all life; a resting and a nesting place for migrating and overwintering birds alike, fresh air to breathe, shade on a hot summer’s day and timeless whispers of winds….

Winter Tales From Behind The Lens

My new work had its first exposure to the public this past weekend at the Christmas Market in the Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon. The reception was very moving. The encouraging words, the lovely conversations moving in many directions and the purchases people have made, watching not only my newest framed work but also older pieces and eco-friendly cards/small images to frame finding their way to people’s heart and into their homes. It is truly a blessing after many months of work and before that years of dreaming and planning gathering momentum and leading up to the moment where I had enough courage to take the leap (and growing my wings as I fall) into giving my photography art my full time and attention, no longer just a sidenote. A meaningful sidenote it was, nevertheless still just a sidenote.

I have taken a leap…!

For all of you who have followed my love for photography over the years, who have encouraged me over and over again and who have seen how my work has developed since many moons ago, I am thrilled to announce that my photography now will be available to purchase and

“Luka Bloom 2021”

I am grateful my lens was invited along on this journey of tunes from Luka Blooms newest album ‘Out of the Blue’ launched in March 2021. Both for the cover of the album and on a photoshoot with the man himself and his guitar.

Winter (IV)

Snow in the Burren is as beautiful as it is rare.

Winter (III)

Morning light and long shadows…

The rain is back, but the memory of snow lingers.

My Friend The Winged One – Flutter Of Wings

I’ve never been able to capture my friend the winged one in flight, however I still enjoy the feeling of this photograph, from one of the first days it flew towards me, leaving the safe shelter of the bush and branches and landed on my camera.
