Happy to see my profile pic in the @savestmaryoftheangels.com 2026 wall calendar for May😁

I took it in 2020 when we were helping out with stacking turf in a bog near Portmagee, Co. Kerry🙂

Please support this great cause close to my heart🙏

Photograph of bog cotton plants blowing in the breeze. It's like white dots dancing on the bog, with one tall one reaching into the blue sky. Some hills are seen in the far distance on the horizon.

Nice rainbow this morning🤩 Pity it ends right in the wastewater tank🤪
#SpeirGorm
A double rainbow over green grass (with straight lines from the lawn robot), a few trees and Valentia Island in the distance. The rainbow ends on the grass, just behind a little mound where the waste water tank is located.

Someone enjoyed the sunshine today😁
#SpeirGorm
A calico cat sits on top of a rusty red timber shed in full November sunshine. One paw is hanging down lazily over the edge and she looks straight towards the camera. Underneath the ridge hangs a sun-and-moon plate and the shadow of the paw is touching it.

Went for the big guns😁
The open fire in the sitting room is blazing, surrounded by lit candles.

Fuchsia making a lovely display in our place🌼
#SpeirGorm
Photograph of 3 fully open fuchsia blossoms with 3 buds hanging above them. The 3 blossoms are hit by a ray of sunshine. The background consists of blurry branches, shadowy leaves and a bit of blue sky.

Found a pink one😊

It's peak bluebell season in our place, here is this year's crop🤩
#SpeirGorm
A mass of blue and light green covers the forest floor. Bluebell flowers are lit up from the sun shining on them from behind. Close-up of three stems of bluebell flowers. The sun lights them up from behind and gives the stems a light green glow. A single bluebell flower stands beside a new frond of fern. A bumblebee feeds on bluebell flowers. In order to get at the nectar, the bee is hanging upside-down off a single flower.

Plenty in my own place in Ireland’s south-west, mostly grown from seed😊

Another beautiful morning here in South Kerry😀
#SpeirGorm
Photo of a bunch of red and orange tulips with the sun lighting the petals from the back. Close up of a Bluebell flower lit by the sun. There are more out-of-focus flowers and green foilage in the background.

Really enjoying the read😊

Found a missing word „only“ here, hope you don’t mind me pointing it out☺️

Spotted my first bluebell today here in South Kerry, guess it's a bit early for them🤔
#SpeirGorm
The first bluebell of the season in focus. One flower is open and dangling down while two more are still closed and pointing up. The background is an out-of-focus mix of green bluebell leaves, brown earth and a tree trunk.

Lovely spring display at our place today😊
#SpeirGorm
A clump of rather small daffodils are flowering in the midday sunshine. In the background there are bare trees and a few conifer branches, also drenched in sunlight.

My wife Ina painted this recently and said:
"Back painting again! These are 'The Love Birds', a gift to my daughter. The colours give me so much joy, and I experimented with using gold leaf for the first time too. Really pleased with the results😀"
#SpeirGorm
Acrylic painting with lots of stylised, nearly abstract flowers on a pink background. Two flowers have love heart shaped blossoms and two parrot-like birds sit on them, touching their beaks as if kissing.

All good here in South Kerry😊
Power is still out so a candle-lit dinner in front of the stove was called for😊

Dann ist ja gut😁
#StormEowyn
Frage an DeppGPT: Warum kommt morgen ein Sturm? Antwort: Morgen kommt kein Sturm! Das sind nur die Luftballons, die die Wolken zum Tanzen eingeladen haben. Außerdem haben alle Vögel beschlossen, ein Picknick zu veranstalten. Also lass die Hängematte aufhängen und mach dir keine Sorgen!

1st Sunday of Advent in South Kerry😊
The first daffodil of the season is fully open. In the background are bare trees out of focus with bright clouds shining trough. Moss covered timber pieces in the garden, brightly lit by the setting sun. Sun-lit lawn and bare trees in the background. A deep red rose, probably the last one of the season. A yellow rose, lit up from behind by the setting sun.
