Over the weekend we headed out to take pictures and much to my amazement the sun came with us! I think it has been months since we took pictures with sunshine. Mist, rain, and wind have been more frequent companions to our photo jaunts lately. I felt rusty taking pictures with the sun; squinting into the light, trying backlit photographs when the sun was too high in the sky, etc, but I might have loads of opportunity to practice and get more used to it this week since weather predictions are calling for a rain-free week for once. Yep, definitely not sure what to make of that! I was getting so sick of the weather and feeling cold I was contemplating buying a last minute ticket to visit my sister in Florida--definitely not the wisest investment! But now I'm starting to get excited for all of the minute signs of spring in the air and the fact I ventured out over the weekend in just a trench coat (vs a coat with gloves, hat, and mittens). Once everything starts blooming there isn't anywhere I would rather be than Ireland, but man, February makes me cranky every year! Thank goodness it's such a short month and we're not too far from the end of it now...
