This photo was taken on the Navan Athboy road on Friday evening at seven o'clock. It was too beautiful not to capture. There's a white horse by the Boyne I saw a couple of mornings going to work but I didn't have the time to stop and take a photo. I might look for him later. He looked magical.
I got a new tattoo yesterday. It really hurt, at times the pain was burning. I doubt I'll get another one for a very long time, if ever again. I'm glad I had it done though. I'm up this morning working on my assignments.

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Yes, saw the same sunset from Clonee. I think we do sunsets rather well, particularly compared to the Canaries or somewhere, where the sun just fizzles out into a haze.
ReplyDeleteTattoo you? How long before you can give blood now?
Yes me Peter, do you have any yourself? I totally agree with you on the sunsets, and the sunrises especially now coming into the winter.
