Spotted on Vevay Road in Bray yesterday. Children passing got all excited. So did adults. Love when people do things to brighten everyone's day. Generosity is the sweetest of virtues. #Bray #CountyWicklow #Ireland
A sunflower missing its seeds to show a smiley face in amongst yellow blooming flowers and a younger sunflower to the right. Sunflower missing its seeds to show a smile and two glass beads for eyes. In the midst of younger sunflowers in full bloom and pale yellow flowers whose name I don't know.

Surprisingly cloudy walk (in Ireland?II) up Ravens Rock yesterday, but the pink heather blooming everywhere made up for the grey skies! 🌸☁️

See my blog for more photos from my hike: buff.ly/c5ER7zy

#photography #RavensRock #CountyWicklow #IrishLandscape #Ireland
A wide landscape photo of a rolling hillside covered in vibrant pink and purple blooming heather, intermingled with bright yellow gorse bushes. In the foreground, a smooth grey boulder rests amongst the colourful flora. The hill rises gently toward a few evergreen pine trees silhouetted against a moody, overcast sky filled with soft grey clouds. The atmosphere is quiet, wild, and distinctly atmospheric with rich natural textures.

An extremely close-up, high-angle portrait of a young deer fawn standing on vibrant green grass. The fawn looks directly up into the camera, its wet, textured black nose and delicate whiskers dominating the foreground in sharp focus. Its large, dark, glossy eyes are filled with curiosity, flanked by wide, soft brown ears with pinkish interiors. Its light brown coat is dotted with soft white spots. The lighting is bright and natural, casting a soft, gentle feel over the scene.

Which is why I’m so happy that #PowersCourtHotel in #CountyWicklow cancelled his conference.
Keep this filthy fascist & his billionaire ilk away from the Republic of Ireland.

Peter Thiel is the puppet master behind the modern American Right. More influential than Musk and arguably even Trump. What should concern us all is that he is openly anti-democracy.

A low-angle view of a shallow, rocky river flowing through a lush green forest. The clear water in the foreground reflects the trees and the blue sky above. In the background, water cascades over small rocks. Oak tree branches with green leaves hang down from the top edge, framing the bright, sunny scene.

#photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #NaturePhotography #IrishWildflowers #Foxgloves #BotanicalPhotography #WildflowerSeason #CountyWicklow #IrishSummer
A close-up shot of a heavily charred, blackened tree trunk on the left side of the frame, with patches of pale, light-brown wood showing through its cracked bark. In the softly blurred background, numerous tall, slender spires of bright pink and magenta foxgloves stand out in the bright daylight. The contrast between the dark, rough texture of the burnt wood and the soft, colourful glow of the blooming flowers creates a powerful atmosphere of natural rebirth and hope.

A scenic view of a quiet pond on a bright, sunny day. In the centre of the water there is a dark, tiered fountain with decorative sculptures. Lush green trees, including a tall eucalyptus tree with pale bark and a golden-leaved shrub, surround the pond. The foreground features tall green reeds growing out of the water. Fluffy white clouds float across a brilliant blue sky, and their soft shapes are reflected in the calm water among drifting green lily pads.

A wide landscape view of a vast field blanketed in deep red crimson clover flowers, dotted with clusters of light purple phacelia blossoms. The colourful meadow stretches across the foreground and midground, leading to a line of green trees and hedges. In the far distance, a soft blue mountain rises gently under a bright blue sky with a few wispy clouds. The scene is captured in bright, natural daylight, evoking a calm and warm summer feeling.

To get around 18th and 19th Century infrastructure the commuter electric train line from Malahide County Dublin to Graystones CountyWicklow. An ingenious addition to trains. On approach to a road bridge, the Pantograph is lowered. A lithium battery automatically takes over. To power the DART trains

The quiet company of coastal ponies. 🐴 Finding these two taking a drink was the highlight of my morning walk at Buckroney Dunes.

#photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #Ireland #WildLife #ConnemaraPony #CoastalLife #NatureLover #IrishLandscape #EquinePhotography #countywicklow
A close-up, eye-level shot of two white ponies standing in shallow, rippling water. The pony in the foreground has a long, thick white mane covering its eyes, looking slightly toward the camera. Behind it, a smaller pony with brown patches on its white coat leans its head down to drink from the water. The background shows blue rippled water and golden-brown marsh reeds under soft, natural light. The mood is serene, highlighting the rugged textures of the horses' fur and the calm water.

Apparently, these catkins are the male flowers of the hazel tree. They hang down like this to catch the breeze, scattering their pollen on the wind.

#photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #CountyWicklow #SpringIsComing #HazelCatkins #NatureLovers #IrishNature #Sunlight #WicklowOutdoors
A close-up view of several long, yellowish-green catkins hanging downwards from the thin, bare dark branches of a tree. The catkins are softly backlit by a bright, warm sun positioned out of frame to the upper left, giving them a glowing, textured appearance. The background is a beautifully blurred, bokeh mix of dark browns, soft greens, and dappled sunlight, creating a dreamy, early spring atmosphere.

The golden light hitting the mossy boulders of the Glencree River today. ✨

A tranquil woodland scene featuring a rocky river rushing towards the viewer. The foreground is filled with large, green moss-covered boulders. In the mid-ground, a narrow wooden and metal footbridge spans the stream. Tall, bare deciduous trees reach into a pale sky, with golden sunlight filtering through the branches and illuminating the surrounding foliage.

A vertical, eye-level shot looking down a narrow dirt hiking path winding through a rocky forest gorge. The path is flanked by high, jagged vertical rock walls that are heavily carpeted in thick, vibrant green moss, ferns, and wild grasses. Above, the bare branches of tall deciduous trees arch over the path, creating a natural tunnel. The lighting is soft and diffuse, filtering through the canopy from the end of the path, highlighting the rich textures of the greenery and the rough stone.

A photograph of several sailboats moored in a harbour on a sunny day. A row of buildings and trees lines the far bank of the water. In the foreground, large, lichen-covered rocks jut out from the water, with several cormorants perched on top, one of which has its wings spread wide to dry them.
