retreat :)

When on our retreat in , we were told that everyone has a monster and like Saint Kevin we must be -friend that monster . The retreat taught me a lot but to be-friend the monster inside yourself - that sentence stood out to me the most . The whole day was inspiring and en lighting it was peaceful and relaxing . I really enjoyed the retreat that i went on with my class and i really enjoyed the messages that i learned on the retreat .

We went to Glendalough for the retreat i recommend going there to everyone , you will discover so much .

PhotoGraphy :)

This blog is going to focus on the national geographic , There is a national geographic channel and there is a national geographic magazine - one for children and one for adults . The national geographic (in their words) is "inspiring to people to care about the planet since 1888" . By reading / watching the national geographis you can learn so much about so much from the "the Genographic project" -  this is a "landmark study of the human journey " to learing about pirals that have been found on mars !! there is a huge amount of interesting inforation in the national georaphic , i learned the information above by looking at their website http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ the site is definitley worth looking at . There is such a wide variety of topics however my favourite thing to look at has to be the photos taken - they are beyond amazing . The national geographic do a thing called the photo of the day . The photo of the day can be seen on the national geographic website . There are so many photos of geography and nature it is impossible to pick a favourite . To

Not only is there a photo of the day but there is also different photo galleries e.g there is the best of March , the best of July - the best of ...- all the months in the year , on this website you are pretty spoilt for choice when looking for a nice photo . Someday i hope that one of my photos will be good enough to be the photo  of the day till then i will just appreciate the ones that are already there :) as i said before i can pick a favourite but here are a few photos that i really like :) .    All these photos were taken from the national geographic website  http://www.nationalgeographic.com
