Éire

Éire is the Irish word for Ireland. I don't know what about it captivates me, but I've been in love with that country for as long as I can remember. Probably since around the age of 5.

My brother, who is the awesomeest, fulfilled 17 years of dreaming and took me to Dublin and Galway for 5 days when I was living in England. Through the bad hostels, the jet lag and the snoring (love you bro), I managed to realize that Dublin wasn't what I was expecting, but Galway was that and more. So, with that, I hope to go back one day and really get my feet dirty, but until then it's just more dreaming for me.

Cheers!

Abandoned

Not that I'm feeling that way today, but I was perusing the Internet last night and came across some pictures of old abandoned farm houses around the United States. It made me think that why would people let a house just sit there and rot? I would want to demolish the building and let nature run free again instead of forcing it's way through an abandoned building. What are your thoughts?

When winter is arriving, I think of wildflowers

Looking at the headlines today, I keep thinking about the poor folk in Eastern Ontario and Quebec who had to struggle with a snowstorm yesterday and today. So I was thinking, when winter is going to get you down, think of the things that make you happy. To me, that's wildflowers. I found these pictures on www.creativecommons.org so there is no copyright infrigment. If you have any interesting photos that you would like seen by a small, but thoughtful audience, send them my way here.

Dogs

I love them, I love them, I love them. There is very little about dogs that I dislike. In fact, if I had a dog, I probably would still be obsessed with them. I just believe that they're the cutest creatures on the planet. Especially puppies. Anyway, here is a selection of photos of dogs that just make me go, "Awwww". (Credit given where I can find it!)

Self-Portraits - Meet the Blogster

I figured since it's my blog, I should show you who I am. Here are some pictures taken by friends, and by myself. Enjoy!

A Second Blog? I'm getting ambitious!

Actually, this one isn't for my ramblings. It's for photography. Whether taken by me, or someone else, it's where I find beauty, inspiration and everything that makes me go, "hmm" in the world.

Enjoy!
