Good morning from Ireland. Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Mist rolls soft through the amber glen,
Where old trees dream of time again.

misty autumn landscape featuring tall, ancient trees in a golden-brown field. In the foreground, leaves with hints of orange and yellow frame the scene from the upper left corner. A large, gnarled tree stands to the right, while another tall tree rises in the distance amid a faint fog. The grass below is tinged with autumn hues, and a line of scattered stones runs across the slope, evoking a quiet, timeless Irish countryside.

Good morning #BlueSky ☕️ They don’t call Ireland the Emerald Isle for nothing as the forests of Glendalough show here. Have a relaxing day my friends ☺️ #WaterfallWednesday #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Nature #NaturePhotography #Forest #Ireland #Glendalough

The picture shows a cascading stream in the beautiful green forests of Glendalough here in Ireland taken few years ago.

Starting from the bottom of our shot upwards, we have the lush green of the forest floor, thick with grass, ferns and plants making an emerald carpet of colour.

Then on our left and standing tall from the bottom of our picture to the top, we have a thin tree, covered in moss with grey and brown bark and thick ivy going further up the trunk.

Then we have cutting through our shot from top to bottom, the stream itself. Deep navy blue waters with white and silver froth as it flows over the smoothed grey rocks and riverbed.

We then have the opposite river bank with thick mosses, shrubs, bushes, ferns and trees all in a cornucopia of shades of greens that finish out this idilic woodland scene.

Our picture is in full glorious spring colour and has a thin white border frame.

An Irish #sunset. Heading out with Sam. Think I’ll be away a good bit longer today as we haven’t done one of our long walks in ages. Please enjoy your day wherever you are in our little world. 🌍 #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin

A golden sunset over the Irish countryside, with the sun shining through the silhouette of trees in the foreground. The sky glows with warm tones of amber and gold, scattered with dark and fiery clouds. Below, the distant landscape stretches toward the horizon, softly illuminated by the fading light.

Beautiful but deadly.

Hiking in the forests near Dublin. Found these Deadly Webcaps.

In June we had the privilege of having a kestrel nest on a roof opposite our apartment on the Costa del Sol. Male, female & 2 large female chicks.

Good Morning Bluesky Fam! Feast your eyes on this stunning Great Cormorant, perched contentedly on a tree stump smack in the middle of a serene lake snapped with
a Canon EOS R50!

The picture shows a bird, likely a cormorant, perched on a partially submerged tree stump in a calm body of water. The bird has dark feathers with a lighter patch on its chest and a yellowish throat. The water is greenish, reflecting the bird and the stump, with another piece of wood floating nearby. The scene appears serene, with a natural, outdoor setting.

The maple tree stands in bright, colorful attire, reliable, as if it wants to convince everyone that it is the main beauty of autumn 🍁
#ColorADay #RedWed #Autumn #Fall #EastCoastKin #mobilephotography #tress

Central Subject: A large tree with a dense canopy stands at the center of the composition. Its leaves are painted in vibrant autumn colors: green, yellow, orange, and red.

Details: The collage consists of several shots showing the tree from different angles. Some sections of the photograph feature close-ups of the leaves, highlighting their rich color and shape.

Background: A bright sky is visible in the background, while the lower shots show gray paving stones strewn with fallen yellow, orange, and red leaves, as well as a small patch of green grass.

Overall Impression: The photograph conveys the atmosphere of autumn, focusing on the beauty and variety of colors of the fall foliage.
