Skywatch # 90 When Saturday Comes....


.....you will still find me here

Saturdays from late Autumn, through Winter to early Spring, everyone knows I will be here. Why? Rugby! Everything stops, no shopping, no cooking, the other half has to fend for himself(I do leave directions to the kitchen), while I toddle up Mooragh Park to photograph the action. I have been known to have a JD or several in the clubhouse too, as rumour has it.

After the game, fading light, forgetting to change the camera settings, one night I captured this pastel sunset, just hinting at the snow capped mountain. After a drink or several, the walk home through the park (but of course) and capturing even more unused photos. When Saturdays comes....you know the rest.

Lovely sky! Thanks for your visit. We haven't got snow and ice very often, but as soon as there is ice thick enough to skate on people get the urge to put the skates on.
Have a great weekend!

A most beautiful sunset. Sorry I haven't been around for so long - took a year off from my photo blog and now I'm back - and it feels pretty darn good. Hope life is good for you - great hearing from you!
