Allihies Beach

Allihies Beach

I look outside now and see the hazy and rain that has descended on and wonder if I was really at and saw the fluffy cumulus stretching off into the distance. It seems like a another lifetime.

Today my wife, Jacinta, and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. It’s a joyful day because we are a happy family with our mad little son but it’s also the first anniversary of Jacinta’s sister’s untimely passing from this world. We went for dinner this afternoon with her family and it was a cheerful gathering, but of course in quiet moments, one’s thoughts stray to Gerry who wasn’t there.

Great ball of flame

Great ball of flame

over a few days ago. There was a thin layer of on the horizon that nicely blocked out much of the light of the allowing me to capture this early .

It’s amazing to think that the light we see takes 8 minutes to travel the immense distance between the and Earth. What’s even more remarkable is the thousands of years a photon can spend zinging back and forth inside the before emerging as heat and light.
