A close-up photograph of small clusters of pale pink flowers blooming on a branch with green leaves. The scene is backlit by warm, golden sunlight filtering through a blurred forest background, creating a soft, dreamy bokeh effect. Water droplets glisten on the leaves, and a lens flare adds to the radiant atmosphere.

A scenic landscape photo featuring a vibrant blue peacock standing proudly on the rim of a hexagonal stone wall in the foreground, with the head of a second peacock visible inside the enclosure. In the mid-ground, a calm lake reflects the surroundings. The background features the majestic, grey stone Johnstown Castle with its Gothic towers and turrets, surrounded by trees with reddish-brown winter foliage under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

The Milky Way rising over the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Kilwirra Church and its old graveyard. A moment of wonder stitched into the night sky on the Cooley Peninsula.

Here's some #FridayFalls for you! #PowerscourtWaterfall #WicklowMountains #IrishWaterfalls #HiddenGems #IrelandsAncientEast #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #Travellreland #Explorelreland #WaterfallWonders #VisitWicklow #RideRock #smartphonephotography #photography
A stunning elevated view of Powerscourt Waterfall from Ride Rock in County Wicklow, Ireland. The white cascade of water plunges down a steep, dark rock face, surrounded by lush green foliage. In the foreground, out-of-focus green branches frame the top of the image, adding depth. Below the waterfall, a winding path leads through a verdant valley, dotted with trees. The overall scene conveys a sense of serene natural beauty and the wild grandeur of the Irish landscape.

Take a moment at sunrise with Master Pippin.
There’s a cooling rain moving in.
But it’s no less pleasant for that.
Be well, friends.

Niall has done a great job raking the gravel in the old farmyard. I was going to show you a picture of it, but every time I tried to take one, I got a photo bombing spaniel instead.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Biodiversity Week walk this morning. The highlight for me was this Poplar Hawk moth that we found under the black walnut tree.

Another cracking day at the brewery. To be honest, the barley isn't really enjoying the lack of rain, but all the tourists are loving it. We just have to explain to them that it's not always like this here.
