Photo was taken yesterday near Ballincollig, Co.Cork (Irl)



The huge storm that swept up over Ireland yesterday was so powerful. So many trees fell and later there were lots of photo opportunities. So I squeezed four into one for today!

‘The following anonymous poem called ‘The Dilemma’ has inspired many people down through the years…

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk rejection. To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. Only a person who dares to risk is free.
