Spent the week feeling a bit down due to a couple of things, and I had a sinus infection.
Today I am feeling quite a bit better and managed to take a few photographs, I also now have two weeks holiday!

I have been spending a lot of time lately on flickr, not only uploading my own photos but also browsing others, trying to learn how to be a better photographer. Occasionally I see a photograph that I think is really special, and this is one of the very best.

This is my white cat Parsnip (what a poser) pretending to have a fight with a puppy dog. Yes, this is the first photo session getting used to my new camera...
Happy Christmas!

photography, molly, christmas
Here is a picture I took recently of my favourite - and only - daughter,
Molly-Jayne standing
on the limelight
As you see can, I am still having fun with my mobile phone camera.
I find it interesting that I have spent more time, and got more enjoyment, from hacking around with the software driver for my phone camera and experimenting with photographic techniques with it, than I have taking photos with my regular digital camera.
I am however now waiting in anticipation for Christmas when I will finally become the owner of an Olympus E-500 Digital SLR

Even though I was supposed to be hard at work over the last couple of days, while Ben and Toby managed to see the Geevagh stages I did manage to find the time get a few shots of the cars in the service park on Thursday morning, and again as they were driving between stages this morning. I uploaded a selection to my
albums hereUnfortunately Marcus Gronholm came a cropper this morning on our difficult roads - I manage not to crash every day on the same roads in my C4, does that make me world champion?
Anyway, things are looking good for the Citroen boys, or are they? with two more days to go and worse weather promised nothing is certain.
There has been such a great buzz in the air the last few days, people here are really having a good craic getting into the spirit of the rally. There are a lot of extra people around, and a lot of other events going on in conjunction with the Rally. Friday evening we went to the town of Boyle for a mini festival with vintage cars, a crafts fair and lots of yummy food. Tomorrow evening we are going to head into Sligo town for the French market, parade and fireworks. I do hope the rain holds off for the fireworks! I am also looking forward to the cliff-top final stage on Sunday. That could prove fun on the slippery roads, and it is going to be televised live

I must admit that over the years I have only had a passing interest in rally cars. I have occasionally played rally car games on my home network with my kids, and turned up at a local rally of Ireland event once. But I am starting to get a little excited by the buzz and the build up to the biggest world sporting event ever to take place in my part of the world. The World Rally Championship (WRC) is
holding a stage in Ireland for the first time ever, and what is more, it is taking place on my backdoor from the 15th to the 18th of November.
Hey look, there's a girly girl! And my car in the background... ok, although mine is a C4 that is where the similarity ends.
Anyhow, stage 2 (and 5, they run through that stage twice on Friday morning), passes within a couple of miles of my house, as you can see on the map
here. Hopefully I can get into the service park sometime over the next couple of days to see the cars and teams at work, they have taken over the car parks of the local institute of technology for this and have made the poor students take shanks' pony
Any Opera fans coming to watch? Let me know and maybe we can link up! Anyone watching on TV, I'll wave if I see a camera and you can say if you see me
