Scenes of Ireland (and more): inlet

rock and nook and inlet
wave upon wave, from the time
my father's father stood
every grain of sand filtered
through a dark hourglass
calling me back, pulsing
like the blood in my veins
Geraldine Moorkens Byrne

The spider webs were something I have never seen before and I think they came out very well.
Scenes of Ireland (and more): Hedgerow, Curragh Co KIldare
Another from Christmas Morning 2009 on the Curragh; a detail of hedgerow along the edge of the Curragh, Co Kildare. Frosted in the freezing morning air the entire hedge was a confection of brittle white beauty.
