Very nice shots Carly, really sharp and great colors in the countrysides.
What camera are you using now, I know you got a new one, but do not remember what it is. You are sure making it work well!
Is "wicklow way" the name of the path or something?

Awesome shots carly, third one down is my favorite. That angle gives real depth to the shot.

The 2 last ones are awesome

thanks you three

az-the wicklow way is the path, yes. link.

i've got a lovely nikon D40. had it a while now (since last august i think). still getting the hang of it though- still lots to learn. but i LOVE it.

by the way, has this ever happened to anyone else- my camera was in it's padded bag, with it's lens cap on..... i took it out and the filter (under the lens cap) was totally shattered!! how the hell did that happen?! it hadn't been bashed on anything as far as i can remember...... very odd. fortunately (and miraculously!) i think the lens escaped without getting scratched by the shards of glass.
