It's dark and moody out in the bog now with all of this rain...but there is still beauty @peatlandecr.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @scohaboybog.bsky.social

There is something magical about the bog at dusk as night falls. I love how the sky and trees are reflected in the bog pools as I walk through the wet woodland ❤️ @claireissimo.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social

Solstice Blessings ❤️
The longest night of the year, inviting stillness, reflection and deep connection with the earth.
From this moment on, the light slowly returns.
Furze is in bloom, like flickering flames in the dusk, lighting the way @peatlandecr.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social

Within the fallen leafy carpet in Lough Boora, I noticed this lichen, like a strange sea creature. This is one of many Pelt lichen species, a new one for me @peatlandecr.bsky.social @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social

I noticed that this moss covered tree trunk of a Sycamore tree on Mill Island, Birr was covered in these teeny tiny little parasols. This one was high up, and lit by the sun @claireissimo.bsky.social @charleenhurtubise.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social

The spiders are busy these days...I watched this 4 Spot Orb Weaver as he captured this hoverfly, like watching an Attenborough movie, and right on our doorstep. @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social

Autumn colours are just spectacular right now. I visited Knockbarron wood as the light was fading to dusk.
So still and serene, the beauty within took my breath away.
