I'm 40 happily married to Andy with 2 lovely kids.
I have 2 cats.
I love animals and if I had my way I would have a houseful of them.
I live in Sligo, Ireland, although I was born in the UK (Hemel Hempstead). My parents are Irish and we moved to Sligo in 1991.
I still miss parts of the UK, its quite hard to fit in here, but I like my own company.
I've been taking photos for about two years.I love taking photos, and take everything and anything). I mostly like taking photos ot animals and nature and we are lucky to have Eagles flying just down the road from us, its a fantastic place. www.eaglesflying.com

I also love rock music (especially Magnum, Marillion, Genesis and Pink Floyd to name a few bands). My favourite band is The Feeling, very different from my usual bands, I was lucky enough to see them play live and they were amazing, I can't wait to go again.

    "What can I say about Val.....magnum_lady....other than she has an appalling taste in music.........only this...she is probably one of the most honest photographers on Flickr....she chooses her subject...points her camera...shoots and posts...no messing...no fuss....lol...her photography is a record and diary of her everyday life...of family and home, her garden, the countryside, animals..in particular donkeys....her town.....wonderful stuff....interesting stuff.....photographed from the heart.
    So Val...hats off to you..as a photographer and Flickr friend.....I`m glad we`ve got to know each other.....oh and if anyone`s interested...she`s wanted by Interpol and there`s a six figure reward."

    "I love waiting on Val's photos. She onbvioulsy has a rich canvas being in Sligo and it's clear she loves her animals and nature.

    I look forward to her photos daily to see which technique and subjects she has chosen.

    Particulatly like some of her derelict building shots that tell a story of times gone by.

    :))"

    "I met Magnum_lady (Val) here some time ago. I was immediatley captivated by her excellent lay out of pictures, and her friendliness.
    Val is a very caring and family person, this reflects so much from the pictures of her family, her husband Andy, and children, Lucy and Jono, (who are always ready to pose for their Mum). You can see lots of pictures of their lovely home and from around the family home in The Yeats county of Sligo.
    Her picture's also display some beautiful nature pictures, awesome landscapes from around the majestic Benbulben table mountain, to Queen Maeves Cairn on Knocknarea. Val has a great eye for a picture, she captures shots that others would have passed by or missed an oppertunity.
    Val is very generous and takes time to visit other members pictures, and always leaves a nice positive comment.
    I look forward to every new upload from Magnum_Lady and when you browse through this fantastic selection of pictures, you will want to come back every day.
    Thanks for your pictures, and great friendship Val.

    "Magnum is one of my newer friends who has some great shots combined with some everyday life shots of her family and home. I like the combo and I look forward to watching her grow as a photographer. Thank you for your support in my photos as well. :)
