The most photographed cats in the world.

I got myself a new lens for my camera during the week, its a canon 50mm prime lens. So to celebrate I spent the whole weekend taking pictures of the cats. Luckily for you they are the most handsome bunch of pussies in all the land. So I hope you enjoy the pussy pics.

Blue Team Vs Red Team. A Tale of dragonflies.

Hello again my friends and enemies, the subject of todays post is dragonflies. In the last few weeks I’ve been lucky enough to spot a few of these colourful bastards hanging around the ponds and still waters of Coimbra. They move through the air pretty damn fast so it was difficult to get pictures of them in flight so I just went with the lazy option and waited till they land.

Blue Team.

So let me know what you think of them and feel free to share them with friends and co-workers.

Peace and Love,

Ciaran.

P.S. After a little bit of research I think all the dragonflies in my pictures are male, as males tend to perch on things and watch while the females fly around depositing eggs. And I think the red ones are called Red-Veined Darters and the blue ones are called blue dashers but hopefully an expert can tell me if I’m right or wrong about my research.

 

P.P.S I just found out that the blue team is actually damselflies not blue dashers. Lesson Learned.

Creature of the night, creeping around in the dark with my camera.

Check out some of the pictures that I took back in January. The first lot of pictures were taken on a cold night when there was no clouds so it was great to be able to see the stars.

I really hope you get as much enjoyment out of looking at these pictures as I got out of taking them, well anyways that is enough rambling out of me so let me know what you think in the comments.

Peace and Love,

Ciaran.

Hopefully these will bring some colour into your life.Some these were taken in the Jardim Botanico de Coimbra, some were in various parks and gardens around Portugal and some of them were taken in back garden at home.
