Greetings from the plague house where our little bundle of germs has infected us all once again. Having a child is like a non-stop trip down the memory lane of all those childhood illnesses you thought you’d never experience again! Sorry if this post has a tinge of fever ranting to it.
But enough of that. Before I fall back into my bed, here are some photographs taken over the weekend at Knocknasink Woods in Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow (famous last year for a nasty incident involving animal sacrifice). People usually go to Enniskerry to visit Powerscourt and its waterfall but I like to ramble around Knocknaskink, just around the corner. So far Matt and Eve still think I’m a bit crazy when I start taking photographs of bark, but at least in somewhere like Knocknasink they’re the only ones looking at me funny.
By the way, if you don’t use flickr you might not know this but if you go to my flickr page and look at the bottom of each photo there’s a cool feature where you can click on “map” and it will take you to a Google Yahoo map (thanks Matt) of where the photograph was taken.

Very cool photos, very Lord-Of-The-Rings-ey, if you know what I mean. The second one makes me go “Get off the road!”. 🙂
Oh, and it’s not Google maps that pops up in Flickr, it’s a Yahoo map. Flickr being owned by Yahoo and all that.
Oops! I stand corrected 🙂
I think Lord Of The Rings too when I see those trees, perfect hiding spot for some hobbits.
Good shots! A bit of Blair Witch Project feel as well. Hint of evil.
Claire! I’m trying to get into the habit of visiting your blog regularly. Girl, I always heard tell of your talents, but I never got to witness them. Not that I’m complaining, being your friend and the time we spent together is something I wouldn’t trade for anything. Still, it’s so cool to “see” what I’ve so often heard about. Thanks so much for sharing here! Your daughter is gorgeous! I love your photographs . . . I just got a wee digital camera and have been snap-happy, but looking at your shots makes me want to go out and get a better camera. I can’t get a good shot of the moon with my 6.0 megapixels to save my life. It’s just this amber-coloured dot in a sea of black.
Thanks Lisa!
I haven’t been able to get a good shot of the moon either although I’ve tried a few times now. I get the same result as you: an orange dot on black.
