For quite some time now I’ve wanted to begin a second blog, a blog which is predominately focused on photography and my adventures with my family. I do feature these themes in my main blog Dolly Dowsie but I’ve been wanting to start a new project, one which can be filled with my newest passions in life from the beginning of it’s creation and that’s why Fawns & Fables was born. The name just came to me one day and from that moment I knew that had to be it, ‘fawns’ representing my son and any other children I may have and ‘fables’ for the stories I want to tell through my photography. Simple really isn’t it? But I really do love how it sounds.
In the celebration of finally beginning this new blog I decided to venture out with my camera today and capture some images of my son. I see May as the beginning of summer so these pictures are a final hurrah to spring, celebrating all that is beautiful about the season and all the elements of it which I shall miss, until next year of course.
I’ll miss the beautiful apple blossoms but will await the sweet apples which she will eventually grow.
I’ll miss the Irish springtime and all her beautiful fields of fluroushing flowers and blooms.
I’ll miss the April showers and mismatched skies of bright blues and dark clouds as well as the age old question of – “should I bring an umbrella or not?”
I’ll miss having a boy who has just turned two. He’ll be two and a half over the summer and that seems like a giant leap in age to me!
I’ll miss impromptu spring photo sessions which result in my son being surrounded by splashes of colour and masses of shrubbary.
I’ll miss lovely spring days with this little one.
I’ll miss the after school adventures and giggles. *Schools out for summer…!*
I’ll miss the pretty little daisies. They bloomed early and are now dying off.
I’ll miss the daisies being the perfect backdrop to make my photos all hippy dippy.
I’ll miss the strolls and adventures that spring brings and the rekindled love for the outdoors after the cold, harsh winter.
I’ll miss blowing on these yokes and making wishes…
I hope you enjoyed my photography and all my musings in this first post. I am so excited about this new project of mine and hope you will join me on my photography and travel adventures.
The End.

You certainly did capture some glorious shots here. You have a great eye for photography!
This is absolutely brilliant Fiona, well done on starting this 2nd blog and absolutely love the pictures above and as always love Tyler lee's curly hair
I always love your photography and I am excited for this new project. Life goes by too quickly and while your little one may be growing up quickly, you at least have been capturing each moment on film. It'll be great to look back on for years to come.
Your pictures look so great! What kind of camera do you use? I love the close up of the flower at the end, but the photos of your son look so awesome too. What a little sweetheart!
Love the new blog–the design and name are just precious! I've considered starting other blogs on different topics (other than my usual travel blogging stuff), but I haven't found the time yet. Brava to you for making Blog 2.0 happen! 🙂
Absolutely fantastic photos and he's adorable. You definitely have an eye for a great picture. Thank you so much for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Your son has such beautiful curls!! I love how green all of your scenery is! I think having two blogs can be a great outlet especially if you have found a new hobby that you love and have a passion for!
What gorgeous photos and your blog post brightened my day! Your model is such a cutie!
I always adored your photos of Europe on your other blog, so I am happy to see this new venture! Sometimes it makes sense to split a blog when there are so many topics going on! I think this was a smart move. Can't wait to see where your adventures take you!
Wonderful photos as always and best of luck on this new journey with a second blog and wish you a ton of success!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos. Your son is adorable too. Looking forward to see more of these!
Such beautiful photos and a lovely whimsical name! You totally captured the essence of spring, I can't wait to see more of your vision and lovely photos of your dreamy country! Thanks for sharing your view of the world 🙂
Good luck with your second blog! I can barely keep up with my first one. lol Your little guy is so adorable. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of him.
Your son is the cutest thing and the pictures look amazing. It does look like a gorgeous spring day.
From one photography fan to another your images are beautiful. I really like the one with the horse in the field. Keep up the good work.
I totally enjoyed your photography! I love shooting landscapes and all the nature stuff too. There's such a soothing way to appreciate Mother Earth whenever I engage in this activity. I need to do more of it…and thanks to your post I am truly inspired to make time to shoot! 🙂
Oh my gosh, your son's hair and himself, he is absolutely precious!! That is what I thought of when I was scrolling down and saw that photo. Absolutely beautiful and fits your content/text and title so well! I really loved reading this 🙂 Very beautifully and well done indeed. Keep up the greatness!!
Beautiful photos Fiona.
So many gorgeous photos. I can't get enough. I love visiting your site because I'm always sure to see such beautiful photos!!! These are lovely. – – Jeanine
I love your photos. I am also impressed with the horse. I am a huge horse lover and I hope to be able to enjoy horseback riding this spring. Your little one is so adorable too!
