Would you be mad for that little speck of rainbow in the deep rain filled sky?
Or this bush, with its brazen head of golden curls?
And would you love how he made a fence from sawn up trees, lining them up on the ditch like children, posing for family snaps?
And would you be giddy about the woolliness of those lads? How they make the perfect foil for EU grass, too green and too brash for this hilly land.
And when you get to the top of the Mahon Falls would you crave a man or a woman, to walk into the light on that exact peak, to become a silhouette of darkness against the Copper Coast below?
I would. Only to see all the blue of the sky and the sea in one belt of sparkly blur below them.
And then I’d pull up my hood, tight. And the icy wind in my hair would capture fresh Comeragh particles, for feasting on later.
Yes please! Always up for a ramble with the camera!
Yay!! You’ve got that feeling too? Nothing like it!!!
One thing I do know for sure is that I would feel perfectly calm and so happy if I found myself standing there, gazing at all that green & blue & gold ~
O you would Susan, you would! And the scents and sounds too, heavenly!!!
Oh…I can just feel the moisture in the air in your images! Beautiful!
Thanks Robin! O twas a bracing breeze for sure!!!
Yes, yes and yes again. I’d lift my head and take a deep breath, hoping to catch a whiff of salt on that fresh breeze.
Yay!!! Of course you would and the colours and the breeze would take your breath away too for sure!!
Oh yea…I’ll join ya! (BTW, loved your NYC ramble as well…being just there ourselves.) What extraordinary captures here. Do you call it Gorse? I’m referring to the yellow bushes on the hillsides with the lambs? We have spots here in Oregon that look like your Emerald Isle with lambies gamboling….so lovely to spend a minute with you Catherine!
Susan yes we call it gorse or furze. It is coming into full bloom just now, especially on hillsides. I have a large hill to the east here and the yellow flowers literally glow at me through my studio window! Lambies gamboling here too, longer brighter evenings, such a beautiful time of the year x
Oh all that and more…more and more! What a delight for the soul all these scenes.
