A Summer Evening

Jumping in or dipping my toe into the vast ocean of blogging? I'm not sure which but I've thought about this for some time.  In fact, I started a blog as a new year resolution but kept it a secret as I wasn't sure if blogging is for me. I've tried to kill it but don't think I succeeded and it now floats around cyberspace with deleted posts.  I love photography, I write for a living, but I don't want to live my life in public. 
 A lot of blogs seem to have just one theme - there are food blogs, political blogs, interior design blogs, fashion blogs. None seemed right for me. 
I'm an ok cook but the food is devoured before I can photograph it. I live in a lovely old farmhouse but a lot of times it's a mess.  I have a weakness for clothes but I'm not going to model them. And politics is just too depressing. 
Then I discovered the journal type blogs where people simply post photographs of what they see in their daily life, write about what's happening in their lives and invite us into their community.  That's what I want to do. I want to share my photos, develop my creative writing, and, with any luck, let people know about the beautiful part of Ireland I am fortunate enough to live in. So here it is, my wee blog from Ireland's wee county - Louth. This is a new journey for me and one which I'd like to you to join as I share my snapshots and stories about the small things which make life beautiful.
