The missing wildlife.

I went out looking for wildlife this evening, but no luck. When heading back i took a few shots of horses & ponies, turns out there was hundreds of wildlife in some of the shots. Unlike most wild creatures they did not flee, they wanted to be friends. Not that i wanted to be acquainted with the midge, but they insisted, ha ha.

Bantams

A few shots of my nephews bantams, i think their called buffs. They are not very old, about 11 weeks old & so tame that even with a macro lens they were too close, sometimes walking right up to the lens & looking at their reflection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Neighbours

This started out when i was ill a few weeks ago, i turned into something of a spectator in the lives of my neighbours.

These young red polls were using the dog pen as a climbing frame.

Ravens & magpies who woke me up quite earlier.

A juvenile pied wagtail, who is still missing some of its plumage.

A juvenile starling with its rather dapper colouring.

A pheasant who is a regular.

Swallows who always feature here, but this time on the ground.

A male blackbird.

Thank you for visiting.

Laois Connemara Pony Breeders Group show

Owing to illness i didn't take many shots of the show this year

My brake is stuck.

Brock Lodge Buster the champion of show.

Joe & Karen wedding

Just a few shots from the wedding of my good friends, Joe & Karen.

Ballintubbert Gardens, which had just opened was the location of the post ceremony shots.

It was a happy & fun filled day. I could not but smile as i wrote this blog or indeed when i was converting the raw files, not always my favorite part of photography.

.

A big thank you, to Karen & Joe for allowing me to take the shots

Aoife & Eamonn

Last week i had the pleasure of shooting at my cousin's wedding.

I had just bought a new lens & since i was shooting from the balcony, it was the perfect place to test it's capabilities.

I would like to say a big thank you to Eamonn & Aoife,
