Photo was taken early in Tooreenbawn, Millstreet, Co.Cork yesterday shortly after the first showers of snow had fallen.

It’s not exactly the work of Michaelangelo but it’s not far behind!!
Yesterday in many parts of Ireland snow showers were thick and heavy.
A cold northerly wind swept the showers down from the north. This jeep covered in snow provided a nice canvas for some early artwork. One has to start somewhere!!
Thanks for all the feedback yesterday re the latest changes with website. It seems we’ve hit the jackpot which makes the smile in our photo even more appropriate this weekend.

‘There is not enough darkness in the entire world to put out the light of even one small candle.’ ~Robert Alden

Today is Candlemass day and in many Churches candles are blessed. These candles will then be used throughout the year for many different occasions. Candles are also used in homes to create ambiance and atmosphere. They come in all shapes, colours, sizes and scents.
From a faith perspective candles have always represented the light of Christ. We live in a world that is often darkened by evil and darker forces. We believe that the light of Christ is powerful and strong enough to wipe out all forms of darkness. We have to choose the light, we need to share it with others and we need to be proud of our own light. Today we invite God’s light into our lives, into our darker corners and wherever such light is most needed at the moment.
