April Fools Day

Here's my famous April Fools Day picture.
KK in Dublin. ;-)

K-Cup in Djouce Woods

There was another edition of K-Cup today. Peter wanted to participate so I went with him to take a couple of photos.
The competition was held in a well known area - Djouce Woods.
The day was very cold - sleet, snow and a strong wind. The weather conditions proved that it definitely wasn't an event for little girls. ;)
30 seconds before the start:


Tight U-turns in the woods:


Uphill struggle:


Steep, muddy and very slippery downhill towards the stream down below:


Peter racing towards the finish line:

My place

The weather was so nice so I just stepped out of the house and took a photo of the housing estate I live in.

That was 3 hours ago..
Of course now it rains... ;-(

The real Spring has begun

The real spring outside! At last!
Temperatures as high as 16°C are not entirely uncommon these days.
The world is green and the soul sings. :-D
It's the right time to introduce my Carmona Macrophylla bonsai tree.
It needs some everyday maintenance but it pays off.
I have always wanted to have a bonsai tree - so there it is. :-)

Spring in full blossom

The Spring has finally settled in Dublin.
The back garden gained some unseen for months colours.

K-Capital Cup - Kilruddery

A few shots from XC race in Kilruddery.
Peter was starting in the competition so I was roaming the landscape taking photos.

The steepest downhill section of the track:

Rocky part of the downhill section:
You can almost see a leprechaun hiding in a bushes:

Bought a car.
