Wednesday with Ron!

TY photography got a welcome surprise when Ron offered to bring us on a nature walk today...





the weather was perfect with diffused light slanting through the trees.




A few shots taken on the spur of the moment :




Yes..it was frosty!! 


or 'fresh' as they say....



Mr Conway kindly lent us his fancy quilted jacket!! Thanks!




As it happened we got some good shots ........




but really this entry is for Ron ............

 


whose love of nature and all sentient beings make him a great inspiration to us all. 





You are a one-off Ron!! 
Keep up the good work!






Where's the telephoto lens when you need it?

One of Ron's 'canopies'....

That time of year thou mayst in me behold,
When yellow leaves or none or few
Do hang upon those boughs that shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang.....
Thanks again Ron!

OOH-La La !!!

The French Dept organised a very enjoyable dramatic afternoon recently....




They invited a group of strolling players from France to perform for the Transition Year girls....








....I believe it was very educational and entertaining....






..and I'm told the actors weren't bad either!!



 Some of our girls who helped with the performance......


No doubt there will be a big uptake for French in Leaving Cert!!
