Please Stop....:'(:bat:

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want one!! :love::love:
 
Day 196 The Mountain Came To Muhammed.

Originally planned to take a shot of the sunset, but all this 70-200VR malarkey has drove me to the drink yet again. :nuts: So I spent ages mucking about with reversing the 50mm again on the extension tubes. I just noticed that the earlier cloud had dispersed quite a bit, so beer and d40 in hand, went and stood at the front door and took this. If only all 365 shots were as easy!! :D
 
Please Stop....:'(:bat:

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want one!! :love::love:

Well either buy it or bookmark them so you know where its cheaper :)


I cant remember the last time i saw a nice sunset :thinking: Nice colours in the sky, like the beer angle :lol:
 
Day 197. Derrybeg, Co.Donegal.

Up early and away early, this not getting paid for travel time is really going to hurt the wallet, 5 hours for free today, and the same tomorrow. :(

Anyway, can't believe I haven't found this place before, there is a pier and easy access to the water for paddling...I think I've found the sweetish spot with the 17-55, seems to be around f/8 to about f/11. It's still sharp everywhere else but just gives me the best results around there. :)
 
That's it, just rub it in that you've discovered even MORE coast! :bang: :p

Can't help it Marc!! I'm surrounded by water, and there is water in the middle of Northern Ireland as well!! You just can't get away from it. :p ;)

Looks a stunning place :)

It is Lisa, I :love: Co.Donegal. It's beautiful throughout the year, we will see which season is the best!!
 
Sad news indeed. I lost my beloved step father in an accident some years ago, so know how these things can change your world.
 
Oh gosh JD, I'm so sorry mate. My thoughts are certainly with you and your mum.

I hope you do continue with this but will so understand if you can't. My best wishes to you and your family.

Sorry to hear this too. Thoughts to you/ family ect.

I know the shock it causes as my dad died 4 1/2 years ago very suddenly at the age of 52 :(

Sad news indeed. I lost my beloved step father in an accident some years ago, so know how these things can change your world.

Thanks very much everyone.
 
So sorry to hear the bad news Jonny. My father died 5 years ago (it would have been his 70th birthday today too), and i miss him dearly.

I hope you do find the strength to carry on as it can give you something to focus on in testing times.

:)
 
Day 198. RIP Stevie. 1958-2009.

I'm not normally one for making speeches or having any great insight into things. But, the last 9 hours of my life have changed that, for today at least. Stephen and my Mum had been seeing each other for about 5 years. They had been engaged for the last year and a half, if ever a couple was better suited it was Stevie and my Ma.

Stevie died last night at around 10 o'clock, of a massive heart attack that killed him instantly. My mother was by his side through it all, she works as a nurse and was frantically trying to administer CPR, but all hope had gone. I'm typing this through tears, even though Stevie wasn't my real dad, I still loved him. I loved how he made my mum happy. It's so sad to see my mum in such a mess, it's as if all hope for her has gone.

The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person
who is with us our entire life is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

I think I will Chris.

Very sad Jonny, my deepest condolences to you and your mum.

I'm really sorry to hear that Jonny. Sincere condolences.

Thank you.
 
Dude, I can't think of words. I'm so sorry.
Our thoughts are with you and yours mate.
 
Nice words Jonny, super portrait that I'm sure is fitting. I feel for what your mum must be enduring right now (as my mum did after the boat accident that they were involved in). Be there for your mum, as I'm sure you will be ;)

Hang in there bud!
 
My condolences Jonny, I will be thinking of you and your Mum.

Brutal! :( Wish there was something I could say :( :( :(

:hug: ( i dont like that as a hug smilie but you get the idea :) )

So sorry to read your news Jonny :( :(

Thanks very much everyone. It really is a heartfelt thank you.

What I wrote for the local papers Death notices tomorrow.

"Stephen, we can't thank you enough for how happy you made our mum. It filled our hearts with joy to see how happy you made each other. Though it was short, we are so glad that our mum had the time she had with you. You showed her what true love really was. Lots of Love always, Rachel, Jonathan and Thomas"

Rachel and Thomas are my brother and sister.
