Winter Wonderland

Yes, I know that snow can be a royal pain in the a#se – but it can also add to the most stunning of landscapes. Early this morning, with the kids wrapped up in bed, I decided to take a bit of “me-time”.  I put on my waterproofs, packed up the camera in my bag and headed off into the snow.  I started just around the corner from my house, heading along Ballymastone Lane, then up Reillys Hill and into the grounds of St Itas. From there I headed down to the cliff walk between Donabate & Portrane and on to Tower Bay. Despite living out here for 15+ years, I think that this morning, I got my favourite pic of Lambay Island. I was in my element, but then the reality kicked in as I saw the sky turn black and copped on that I now had a 45 mins walk home, facing into a blizzard !! Was it worth it ? I think so, and have attached a small sample of my pics below. Hope you enjoy them.
