Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Between baking Halloween cookies and getting ready for Trick and Treating, I had no time to post it earlier, but at last I could sit down and edit some photos, so here is my today's entry

MY TOWN - photo of the Boyne river in Drogheda,

Drogheda is one of Ireland's oldest and most historical towns

SOMETHING VINTAGE I had no time to find something vintage so I decided to edit the photo in sepia

TILL SHIFT PHOTOGRAPHY

I had no idea what till shift photography is so when I looked it up on the Internet that's what I found: ''When choosing a photograph for the tilt-shift effect, bear in mind that you want to give the impression of a miniature model. Miniature models are usually viewed from above '', I've no photoshop to edit it that way,

but I found this photo on my file that was taken on our trip to Paris

the view from the top of Eiffel Tower, the people look like miniature people

DRESS UP

My daughter and her friend before they went out today for Trick or Treat

CHOCOLATE

We were baking some cookies today for Halloween that we decorated with pumpkins and ghost icing pictures but I couldn't resist to have few with chocolate chips

Smile

Smile

A Smile costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it.

A Smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile;
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Giants Causeway ( before and after)

If you ever going to visit Ireland you must see The Giant Causeway in the North of Ireland

The 'causeway' takes its name from the legends of Finn MacCool and draws people from far and wide.

The north coastline in renowned for it scenic beauty and the Giant's Causeway is its unique jewel in the crown, known to the Irish as the 8th Wonder of the World. A jagged promontory of neatly packed columns of hexagonal basalt rocks created some 6 million years ago by a flow of basaltic lava. As the lava cooled it formed these distinctive hexagonal shapes just as the bottom of a dried riverbed would crack into shapes.
It is easy to see how these almost perfectly symmetrical formations would be viewed as otherworldly by our earlier ancestors and how the Giant's Causeway would give rise to colourful legend.

The story goes that mythical Irish giant Finn MacCool built the causeway to get to Scotland and battle with a rival giant called Benandonner. When he got there he found that the Scottish giant was asleep but also far bigger than himself, so Finn returned back across the causeway. When Benandonner woke up he came across the causeway intent on fighting Finn. Finn's wife dressed up her husband as a baby and when Benandonner arrived she said Finn wasn't home and to be quiet not to wake up the baby. When Benandonner saw the baby he decided that if the baby was that big, Finn must be massive. So he turned tail and fled back across the causeway ripping it up as he went. All that remains are the ends, here at the Giant's Causeway and on the island of Staffa in Scotland where similar formations are found. ( as per "my guide Ireland" )

Scipture and a Snapshot

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


~1 Corinthians 13:4-7~

Macro Friday

Do you ever feel like your body knows that it's Friday and it slows down? What I mean, I am usually so tired on Fridays, after I come home from work, I could just go to sleep. I think my body knows that the weekend is coming and that it can relax. For the whole week I am on the go, very busy, I found that 24 hours in the day is not enough, but then come Friday and my whole system thinks that it can slow down. So it's not 6 o'clock yet but I wish I was in my bed, so for that I will include for today's Macro Friday a close up of some details from my bed covers.

Let me know If it's only me or do you have the same feeling on Fridays?

If you want to join Macro Friday or just see more photos hop over to Blogging from Bolivia:

I hope to see you tomorrow with your FLOWER PHOTO

Before and after in Clogherhead

The fishing village of Clogherhead is located on the east coast of Ireland in the County of Louth, I live very close, it takes only 15 minutes drive from the house. I love going there for my walks, the scenery is beautiful.
Ok, It’s Thursday and it's time to join Blessing Reflections – “Two Questions” blog hop, and here are my two questions:

1. Do you know in which film was Clogherhead featured? I’ll give you a clue: two actors from that film are Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford

2. Do you know what “Eire” means?

Photos of Clogherhead

The photo below was taken by my daughter ( this time I was the model ha, ha, ha), and I just wanted to share the edit I did on it
It was taken with Nikon D5000 and the changes were done in Microsoft Office picture Manager

I am linking this edit with Pixel Perfect "Before and After"
