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

March snow in Connemara

It is a rare thing indeed to have a March snow in Connemara these days. 

Apparently this year 2015, there is snow in many places not only in Europe but across the ocean as well. All rather unusual and for some freaky and bothersome but for those like me who can not wait for an unusual circumstances to grab the camera and go out taking photos this was the perfect excuse!!

So here are a few shots from that gorgeous Sunday morning when I woke up and there was a lovely dusting of March snow in Connemara.

 

Thanks for being here ;-)

Christmas magic in Moycullen

This post will be a bit different than the usual stroll through the woods or rambling through he countryside. This is going to be all about the magic of Christmas since it is hanging in the air already. And it is going to be all about the little cozy village of Moycullen, Co Galway.

If you happen to drive through Moycullen in the evening or late afternoon at this time of the year you will think that you are passing by the magical land of Christmas. 

Yes indeed, this happens to be the well-known and adored White Gable restaurant and the adjoining Enjoy cafe and shop, all sprinkled with Christmas lights from head to toe. The site in the darkness is magical and enchanting. It certainly beckons passers by to come over and discover all the delights and present possibilities inside!! And I am not even going to mention the sampling of all the fantastic menu options and yummy goodies available in there.

So join me for some urban exploration and a bit of Christmas magic in Moycullen and the White gable.

 

Work starts from early in the morning 

And when you pass, don't hesitate, just stop and drop in..... 

Christmas magic awaits
