My how time flies. 2020 marches onwards, slowly and gradually tuning itself to the rolling momentum of time's unstoppable arrow. A scary notion.
Yet while it's been a pretty dull and cold and wet and windy beginning to the new decade, it hasn't all been an utterly depressing trudge.
That's mainly because we've been out and about with the Brownie and its new addition, the Big Lens, more than a few times so far in 2020 and have snapped a few interesting birds to date - most splendidly, of course, the wonderful Kingfisher which we spotted along the banks of the Dodder River in Dublin this past week. (These pursuits are certainly good for the soul.)
Indeed, I've been spending more time along the Dodder than in any other location around the town this year, so, as I'm here now on the blog, what better to do than run a few shots of what's to be found along its course - particularly around the Seven Arches, Milltown and Rathfarnham.
Jump the Luas and try it out. If nothing else you'll most certainly enjoy the walk.
More soon ...
