Looks like something from a fantasy novel. The way the forest looks with a cloud sitting on the mountain.

Irish weather continues to depress us so I'm going to continue in the theme of posting blue skies. This is back just before Christmas on Killakee Road in the hills above Dublin.

A nice, short hike. The top of Cruagh mountain in the beautiful morning light. Looking back through photos this was the last time we had blue skies in Dublin. Jan 11 almost a month ago!

Have very little time today but here's some mute swans at our local park.

How about a break from the foggy photos? A little bit of greenery and a blue sky from last July.

Last photo from last weekend's foggy adventure. Torrential rain kept us away from the mountains this week. Chanced an outing yesterday and fog was less of a blanket and more of a heavy duvet. Got soaked but a good day nonetheless.

A palpable silence. A forest break from the chaos that surrounds us.

I meant to post this earlier when I saw Alan's (@alan678.bsky.social) alt theme of #Black&White. I've been trying to get a shot of these coots that shows their crazy looking, beautifully coloured dinosaur legs.

Another from last weekend's foggy, creamy, afternoon light show. This is the little Dodder river on a very wet soggy day, which is every day for the last few weeks here. 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️

A path through the woods. For once I stuck to the trail as the forest was waterlogged. Well, for a short stretch anyhow, then I went back into the woods and tread carefully. 🙂

I was looking to see if I'd anything for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Reflections and thought I'd post this reflection of a Gray Heron. I posted the original already but I noticed the reflection looked interesting and the bird has an nice new hair do.

We had a bit more fog at the weekend. 🙂 Here I'm standing at the edge of a cloud. Going up the mountain I could walk out of the cloud and look back at where it started. Usually you can see all of Dublin City behind these trees.

I hope you're all having a decent day. I'm short on time today but here's a photo for Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #openbeak. This is a Little Egret who's shows up now and then at the local park.

Nothing like an afternoon nap. Unfortunately I think I woke him up.

For Rob's #BirdOfTheDay #Ducks theme it gives me a chance to post this beautiful little girl from our local park. I usually have Daphne posing for photos but this is her friend Denise today.

Late afternoon sun in the Botanical Gardens in Glasnevin. Good for a Sunday visit as is Glasnevin Cemetery next door, the burial place of several Irish historical figures.

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #FavouriteOfTheMonth. I've got this heron standing in the Tolka River in #Dublin. He's looking quite a bit shorter than usual. I don't have many bird photos but this is my favourite this year/month so far.

One of the foggiest days we've seen. Very little visibility with fog softening the outlines of trees and branches. So little light that colour is muted and subdued. A ghostly feel to it all.

One more before I head off. For Alan's #BirdOfTheDay #EyeContact. This is Daphne from our local park who loves to pose for photos. If you know Alan, head over to his page and wish him well, he's suffering with a bad flu.

Duckett's Grove is how I'd imagined Castle Gormenghast to look. It's a classic fantasy novel but I must admit I only knew of it because of The Cure song.

Another quick one for #WoodlandWednesday. This cute little building is the park rangers office in Bohernabreena.

A granite tor at Knocknagun near the border of Dublin and Wicklow. A nice short hike up from Glencree. In the background is The Great Sugarloaf, visible from almost everywhere in Wicklow.

Hmm. Please be careful with this.

Not saying it's a scammer, I have no way to tell. But it certainly smelly fishy.
