The Waterfall Walk, Oughterard

I've been to this place so many times that I literally can not count them.

Lately I started coming back from work with a bus and I ask the driver to drop me off right at the entrance to The Waterfall Walk.

After the long hard day at work, the moment I step between the stone walls of the entrance, like a miracle, I feel transformed,  I feel better straight away. The green surrounds me, the gloom between the ancient trees embraces me, I relax and all my tiredness and worries slip away into the void... Wonderful...Wish you could do that too...

Here, walk the Waterfall Walk with me 

 

Hope you enjoyed your walk with me!

My Special Place

I don't know what it is about this section of the River Vista road in Oughterard but it pulls me back over and over again. 

I keep taking photos there any time of the day or the year, no matter the weather, rain or shine, dark or light. 

It is simply a special place. My special place. The magic is in the air as silly as it sounds. 

I will let you judge for yourselves.  

So here you go, a few Postcards from My Special Place

Here is how it looks today on the 16th of May 2015

My Special Place in Autumn

and one Christmas Morning  

So tell me, isn't this a special place?!

thanks for being here

May Bank Holiday Nature walk

Once May Bank holiday is here and gone we expect the summer to start right away with great weather and blue skies...

Be realistic, look around, the leaves are still tiny, the cherries and apple trees are still blossoming... Even the hawthorns are nowhere ready to bloom, so I say, summer can wait a bit more.

If you take a walk through the countryside you can really feel it very well. The green hasn't arrived yet, not really, the golden winter grasses are still hugging the hills and fields... Some trees are still naked even at the beginning of May, amazing this is spring for you in Ireland.

Just a bit longer, people, May Bank holiday is just over and the summer will be here soon before we know it.

For now lets enjoy the photos from this May Bank Holiday Nature walk 

 

Thanks for walking with me
