A steady rain falls this day and as the light shifts and the wind blows, beautiful patterns are created upon the kitchen windows. In the foreground are the raindrops and in the distance are the branches of the towering oak tree, its leaves now dark russet and falling to the ground.

I could hear her voice the whole time as I settled myself on the kitchen floor and peered beneath the oven. And I can hear her voice every time I look at this photo of what I captured in that moment, of what caught my attention in the morning sun. I hear my mother saying to my father, “Yes, the web is beautiful, but why can’t that child dust a bit more?”

There’s always a tension in creating a product online. Will the tangible reality be as nice? Dublin Green exceeded all expectations. You can read more in this prior post about why I created the book, the second in what may become a series. You never know what a year will hold. 😉

What happened is this: a friend forgot her birthday flowers. They sit in a sky blue vase in Steve’s kitchen catching the morning light.
And so I have this unique opportunity, until their owner’s return, to photograph many pretty petals, in black and white and in color.

More images from Galway Cathedral. I was able to briefly visit the cathedral on two different days.
The first day was cloudy but on the second there was a period of bright sun.
As I tried to capture the colors of stained glass shimmering on the wall, I was reminded of light dancing on water and nature’s colors reflected and rippling on the surface.
A magical moment, indeed.

Last year, I created a “book of thanks” for folks who made me feel very welcome in my travels around Dublin. As simply the guest of one of the conference speakers, I was free to ramble about the city and especially St. Stephen’s Green. This year, I was lucky enough to attend again (and even visit Galway). I decided I should do another book, to thank folks, and to highlight just a tiny bit of the beauty I saw as I meandered, this time, about the UCD Belfield Campus and its wonderful system of walking paths. The images are sorted into three sections: Amidst the Trees and in the Fields, Among the Birds, and Reflected in the Many Waters. Below are a few excerpts and the entire book is available via this link.
