Daisies in the grass

This is really looking back into the archives. I shot this in 2004, probably with the and at a guess probably in the park near the Gun Powder Mills in Ballincollig. Long time ago. Lovely day!

Monday, March 31st, 2008 by Donncha

Obviously the gentlemen of are a polite and courteous bunch.

While their women folk are in the public an enterprising soul will sell them for their better half!

Charity Daffodils

Friday, March 7th, 2008 by Donncha

Here are the my wife picked up when she gave a nice crisp €50 note to the collector in this afternoon.

A few days ago I offered to give the proceeds from the sale of a photo to plus €50 of my own money/. Nobody splashed out on a print unfortunately.

Well done to Robert who braved the elements to collect today!

Daffodil Day

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 by Donncha

Day is fast approaching on Friday so I thought a photo of these gorgeous was appropriate.

Day is when cancer charities all over the world raise a large portion of their funds by selling . If you see an official seller please support a good cause and give generously.

I gave away a Daffodil Day header image last year on my blog. Actually, I’m still using it since then as my blog’s banner so I’m rather pleased with it!

Buy this image before Friday and you’ll support
Day is next Friday. I’ve just started selling this image of daffodils on rebubble.com. If I make any sales before or on Friday I’ll give any profit I make to The Irish Cancer Society.

Red Bubble is a business and charge a base price on every print sold. I make a few Euro from each sale but no matter how many or how few prints I sell I’ll add 50 Euro to whatever profit is there. Even if I sell no prints (which I admit is quite likely), the collector in will get a nice crisp 50 Euro note straight out of the ATM at lunch time on Friday.

If you think this is just a ploy to make some photo sales, then put your money where your mouth is and give generously to a Day collector on Friday. If they’re not collecting in your area, I’m sure some worthwhile is!

Call me Spike

covered still manage to grow and thrive in the cold.

I saw this wonderful speckled white plant growing from a ditch yesterday morning and it looked very ominous. When I converted it to I saw myself looking at something , possibly evil, something that could be microscopic or huge.

I wouldn’t hang this photo on a wall, but I love it!

The frosty daffodil

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008 by Donncha

This morning was a frosty one. My breath made clouds in the air and a light breeze carried away the warmth in the shadows.

Thankfully there was a lovely sunrise that more than made up for the cold. Down at the end of our park there’s a small area, and this is the second year that have grown there. Luckily the didn’t seem to do them any harm.

"" is the Irish word for . I don’t know why but it’s one of my favourite. Maybe it has a lingering connection with cold frosty mornings from my childhood.
” is pronounced almost exactly like the English word “shook”.

Daffodils in the sky

Monday, November 5th, 2007 by Donncha

Lovely bright to brighten up your gloomy November Monday morning!

This was taken way back on March 18th this year on the same day I shot these daffodils! The image has been sitting in my WIP folder for months but after my gimp lomo post I decided to post this in a larger format.

Post processing: Auto-levels, gimp lomo and save. Resized version has been sharpened and I could have done more with the dodge and burn tool to bring out the detail in the but this will have to do.
