Nicola, welcome to TheWildGeese.irish. Delighted that you have joined. Feel free to promote your artistic efforts on the site. That said, it will be easier to promote those efforts that tie in with your own Irish experience -- the focus or hook for most of our fellow members and readers. You clearly have some Irish language interests, I see now. Would love to learn more about your Irish family history, as would others here, I'm quite sure. Also, I suggest you look at www.AdventureCycling.org to learn more about bike touring and to find opportunities to join peer-led tours of various types and lengths and arduousness. -- Gerry

Nicola, I see that you have as a focus for your oeuvre avarian life. I enjoy photographing birds. Here's one of my better shots, that of a green heron looking for dinner at dusk.
