THROUGH MY LENS

I am continuing to show you photographs over 2 weeks when a small group of birders and myself visited the WWT called Castle Espie in April.  Of course at this time of year the testosterone was high and this Barrow’s Goldeneye was not letting the other male near his female.

SUNDAY THOUGHT

‘Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.

Luke 12:27



 The wildflower is a Cowslip and In Northern Ireland, they are so rare that they are a protected species.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is  Z and Zippy. Now we do not use the word zippy much or at all in the UK however I understand it to mean lively and energetic. These images are from 2006 when I was in Australia and it may not be exactly what you had in mind for the word ZIPPY but I am sure this little engine would disagree.  I  have many more photographs of that day out around these old engines if you would like me, in time to edit them? I think they are wonderful and to ride in this one from the ZIG-ZAG Railway was brilliant.  The final image is my street – in this case platform shot.  Many different things go through people’s head in the presence of these old engins and I wonder what my daughter is thinking here?

SUNDAY THOUGHT

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in mid-air, ‘Come, gather together for the great supper of God,

Revelation 19:17

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is  Y and Yellow.  Below is a YELLOW wast bin.  It must be a very old one as it is the only one I have seen on my walks, and I found it in Ward Park.  Then we have 2 YELLOW/gold knockers, followed by a YELLOW/Golden  dragon, then YELLOW daffodils and finishing with a REFLECTION image showing YELLOW  tipped stanchions at the Bangor Marina.
