Just Swanning Around


A short drive from home across a neighbouring county fetched us up into Co. Westmeath
and in particular to Lough Ennell



Where we were greeted by a whiteness of swans who were busily preening themselves.



The way in which this pair were acting towards each other strongly suggested that 
there would be some hanky-panky between them later !



Much the same with this pair too !


Later that night I just happened to be outside when I saw a red moon rising.
In the short time it took to reach my camera the redness had faded to a rich gold.



Then became banana coloured




and just before it disappeared behind some cloud the red began to return,



by which time I had become quite chilled so I returned to the fire that blazed in the stove.
