a last day of Summer mid Autumn
October 27, 2018
Autumn, October, getting nippy, full of blue skies, mosiac colour and those dancing leaves. Yesterday, on the woodland path edging the lake, I spotted a nest of….Harebells! Incredible. They didnt appear for ages this year with all that ferocious heat and drought, and now 3 or 4 of them tucked in at the foot of […]

Spring Snow, the Beast from the East
March 7, 2018

June 21, 2016
Driving around Lough Mask past Lough Fee to Glassilaun beach and taking a ‘short cut’ back over the Galway/Mayo mountains ..what a wilderness they are..through Tourmakeady to home. A quiet overcast Tuesday, no one in Ireland except me, a turf cutter and a runaway nun. Not proper careful photos, but way too good a view […]
