Le Peleton
Newbridge CC organise several races a year on a course that passes our house, yesterday was a lovely spring day so I was tempted out to sit in the sunshine and watch the racers tackle Boston Hill.

Frosty Morning
I made an effort the other morning to haul myself out of the bed to catch the frosty morning light, this weather can't last for ever you know, anyway it was a little disappointing, I'd seen better when the camera was safe at home, this is one of the best I caught.

Ducks in a line
Don't know if this really works, just a grab shot really, if I could have got just the four in a perfect line it probably would have been a cracker, but you know the way it is ducks will never do what you tell them.

American visitor
This American Wood Duck and its mate have taken up residence on a pond near us, I'm informed they're probably escapees from captivity and haven't made their own way accross the Atlantic. Colourful fellas though.

Dunnock
Never easy to catch these little fellas, they like to keep undercover as much as possible

The Rising of the Moon
The best plans often don't work out, I realised the other day that I'd have an oppertunity that doesn't often arise to get a shot, the full moon rising over the snow capped Wicklow mountains, so I set myself up on Saturday and Sunday to have a go. Of course the weather put a stop to my chances but I wanted to see would my planning have worked out so I popped up to my vantage point last evening, the moonrise was later so no hope of capturing the snow covered peaks but I think this turned out OK.

Hanging around waiting for spring
Met Eireann said today that we've had the coldst winter since 1963/64 and it shows no sign of loosening its grip, we had snow again the other morning.

Taking the Strain
We were in Wexford today with the U13's , after a very hard fought match, a little unluckily we lost out by 2 points. No quarter was given or taken, hardy men all of them.
