I have been noticing this pattern of nature/garden/landscapes pictures emerging, it must be a phase I am going through at present, or possibly its because the world looks like a beautiful place with the sun splitting the Irish skies and so much in bloom.

While around Kells in Co.Meath I was brought to this gem of a spot on the River Blackwater flowing through the Headfort Demesne at Clavens Bridge, and could not believe the amount of dragonflies and Damselflies scooting about the reeds. I was thrilled to actually capture this dragonfly before he took off, and love the details that suddenly appeared. If I had a fishing license and a fly rod with me I would have been in my element, lots of trout to be found around here!
