Crows

I have an affinity for Crows and even my husband has to admit, wherever we go they tend to turn up to say hello. On the shores of Glencar lake a murder flew overhead, then one ofthem spun off and sat on the bench beside me as I took photos of the lake. He kept us company for a good while, then we moved up to the Waterfall carpark - where his mate sat on the wall in front of the car and posed for half a dozen photos. I love the intelligence of crows and you have to respect their place in the food chain :) When we were kids, one Christmas my parents rescued an injured crow whom we nicknamed Max and nursed back to health. My evil sisters released him while I was out one day, leaving me heartbroken because he never got to say goodbye. But since then he's been around in one way or another....

Another view of Glencar Lake

I liked the way this one turned out, the perspective and the light reflecting, but mostly the sense of movement. Glencar Lake in Leitrim, again, but taken from the wall at the carpark before the Waterfall one.

Glencar Lake, Leitrim

Beautiful part of the country, we spent a lovely weekend in Mullaghmore CO SLigo, and visited nearby Glencar Lake and Waterfall (technically in Leitrim, I was assured :) ) it's a fabulous stretch of water and the unexpected sun on Saturday put us all in great spirits. Half the wedding party ended up here at some point on Saturday; we spent a lovely hour or two relaxing by the lakeside and at the waterfall. We were joined at one point by my favourite crows, who seemed to be in as good form as we were and even posed for photos for us. So lots of shots over the next few days of here, the waterfall, the beach etc and of course, some crows!
