Waiting

Waiting for the sunrise, Easter Morning.

Easter Sunrise

6AM. Easter Sunday morning. About 150 people gathered on the Bull Wall this morning for an Ecumenical Service. People came from the four churches located in Clontarf, Catholic, Church of Ireland, Methodist and Presbyterian. It was a perfect morning and the Sun rose on cue.

Up Close on the Tree Peony

Only taken this morning as the buds opened. Leave it a few days and they will have become loose and floppy.

Tree Peony

The flowers on the Tree Peony in my garden have opened today. They are particularly large and always attract attention from the neighbours.

Bare Tree

The leaves have not appeared on this tree yet.

Black and White Church

I prefer this in B/W

Graffiti in the Park

The ' Artists' will always find somewhere to display their handiwork.

Back Lit Ivy

I like the way the Ivy stands out when lit from behind.

Man and Skip

The quayside by the river Liffey. No longer used for unloading ships. However, a nice place to walk, or sit during a lunch break.

A few pence, sir

Sailing

This is only about five minutes from my house in Clontarf. An idyllic scene!

Camellia Donation

I couldn't resist this close up of a Camellia in flower outside my kitchen window.

Autumn Tree

There are lots of trees in St. Anne's Park. I particularly like this one taken in the Autumn.
