240/365:2010 The Bishop

240/365:2010 The Bishop

Had an adventure today, exploring parts of Fermanagh I'd never seen or been to before. Met this guy along the way, the Bishop's Stone in Killadeas graveyard, an old remnant from the monastery here many years ago.

239/365:2010 Morning Light

Up early this morning and into the church office to do the Prayer Diary, but the sunlight was great, so I took a few minutes to capture a few photos in the graveyard.

238/365:2010 Where in Belfast?

A great view of the Harland and Wolff cranes in Belfast, but where was this picture taken? (Apologies for the poor quality, but I only had my iPhone and had to zoom in...)

236/365:2010 Simple Stormont

Another walk with Pippa this evening, only from Massey Avenue gate rather than the Newtownards Road. Hipstamatic out again!

Empty plates, which is always a good sign! Not sure how I would be scored, though!

229/365:2010 Rainbow Files

Got some much-needed filing done this week, not of my nails, but of all the letters that have arrived over the past year, as well as the bills and other important household things. Gotta keep on top of it now!

After a couple of nice days, the rains came down and the floods went whoosh! (As the childrens' song goes...)

227/365:2010 View from the Top

Took Pippa for her walk through the Moat Park today and climbed the 'moat' (although really it's a Motte). There's a great view out over Dundonald, and this one was looking towards the old St Elizabeth's and the Cleland Mausoleum in our graveyard. The Clelands were residents of the original Stormont Castle, or so I'm told.

226/365:2010 Pram Periscope Please!

226/365:2010 Pram Periscope Needed!

Had a great afternoon at Castlewellan Forest Park with the inlaws. Our oldest niece couldn't quite see over the pram pushing her wee sister though, but you can just about see her ginger hair peeking over the top!

225/365:2010 The Watch Says Bedtime

I just remembered to take this photo as I got into bed, otherwise the 365 would have been finished! Also, ignore the date as it's wrong on the watch face due to those pesky months without 31 days...

218/365:2010 Clabby Church

A little bit of local knowledge helped me find the slightly faster route from Enniskillen to Belfast (via Tempo and Clabby). Except that it wasn't faster this time as I had to have a look at the churches along the way!

213/365:2010 The Duckworths

A little trip to Kiltonga Nature Reserve to walk Pippa gave me the opportunity to capture some wildlife photos at the same time. A lovely and relaxing place to see birds in the shadow of Scrabo Tower.
