Some photos to brighten your day.

So, my absolutely incredible Christmas gift from my parents this year was an absolutely incredible camera.  Seriously.  It's incredible.  (Funny story:  Two instruction manuals were included in the package... one in French and one in Spanish.  Epic fail.)  As you can expect, I've been playing with it for days now and figuring it all out... It takes gorgeous photographs.  So, here are a few to brighten your day (hopefully) and give you a clearer view of what my little corner of Ireland looks like.

From the beach at sunset... It's not always like this, but when it is, it's definitely worth the cold to go out walking in it!

Seagulls at some place Nina took me today... I don't know what it's called, all I know is you can put in boats and go crabfishing there.  (This is also using the pinhole setting, for you more artsy-photography-types that might be interested)

The sunset tonight.  Absolutely breathtaking.  The clouds were amazing.  Seriously, believe it or not, this picture does not do it justice

.

Apparently, my family claims I don't send home/upload enough pictures of myself.  So here we go. 

I just really liked this one  :)  Again, on pinhole setting.

All right, I really hope those pictures load right... Enjoy, everyone!  Happy New Year... I'll be back home soon!
