Sunset over Glassamucky Mountain

#StunDay #Mountains #MountainMonday #MinimalMonday #Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland #Scape #Landscape
A orange glowing cloud filled sky with the sun going down behind the mountain and cloud. The farms and houses of Glassamucky Mountain in darkness as the sun disappears for the day. The reflections at the bottom of the image are from the grey metal roof of my car.

I love a good forest hike and if it's got a river, even better.

#Hiking #Photography #Trees #Scape #EastCoastKin #ForestFriday #Forest #Ireland
A view up through a forest river. A carpet of leaves on the ground. A river through a forest looking up towards an old stone bridge. Deeper into the forest, walking on a carpet of leaves next to an old stone wall. The wall is completely overgrown with moss with the nearby trees now inseparable, having grown into the wall. Deeper still into the forest, various shades of yellow and gold as the ferns die off for the winter.

Hiking last week in the forests. Love these little gilly wonders. These might be Toughshanks though I'm not entirely sure.

A cute cream coloured mushroom showing its gills beside a pine cone on the forest floor. Another of the same type with its gills showing. A faint spider web hanging from the cap.

A lonely beautiful mushroom stands tall in the dark forest.

A lone mushroom growing on the forest floor among pine needles. Most likely a Conifercone Cap.

More mushrooms from hiking around the forests.

A flat orange mushroom on a messy pine forest floor. Quite large, about the size of your palm. Neat orange gilly mushroom on the forest floor.

Hiking up Djouce in Wicklow looking over to the Sugar Loaf Mountain and out to the Irish Sea. A nice clear day last month.

#Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #scape #landscape #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #Dublin #Ireland
A view of the Sugar Loaf looking across a small lake that forms when the boggy ground gets saturated. Looking over browning gorse to the Sugar Loaf Mountain with the Irish Sea and sky beyond. Dublin Bay, Howth and Ireland's Eye just about visible to the left.

A cygnet swan at our local park swimming away, deciding I don't have any food after all. The cygnets are almost fully grown now and have changed from grey to brown. Now starting to lose their colour but still golden for a few more weeks.

Hiking in the forests above Dublin, lots of interesting mushrooms to see. The first possibly a Brick Cap. The second probably Psilocybe, but as usual I'm not entirely sure.

Growing from a dead tree, this whitish mushroom was coloured soft peach by the morning sun. A small brown mushroom growing from a mossy bank, shining in the early morning sunlight, filtered through the trees.

A thin veil between the worlds. Glendalough in the mist.

Standing on the shore looking across a glacier mountain lake. The mist and fog obscures the far end of the lake and the large mountain in the distance. A slightly different view of the same glacier mountain lake. Ducks on the lake brave the dreary weather.

Autumn doesn't disappoint. The Shankill River running deep through the forest.

Today marks one year on BlueSky for me. A sincere thanks to all the great people I've met here. We have a wonderful community.

Here's something new for me. My first attempt at a long exposure of water.

St Kevin's Church at Glendalough in Wicklow built in the 12th century.

The surrounding Glendalough monastic site dates from the 6th century and is nestled in a beautiful glacial mountain valley.

A fairy tale looking Butter Cap on the forest floor.

This almost looks AI generated but I can promise you it's not.

For Alan and Rob's #BirdOfTheDay I caught this Heron at our local park in the late afternoon sun. Another one with the vintage CZJ 135mm.

For Alan and Rob's #BirdOfTheDay. Today's theme is #BirdsOnTheGround so here's a black-headed gull standing on a playing field. The field is on raised ground so this was shot through the grass giving a nice blurry effect.

For #MallardMonday a little duck swimming in our local lake. Took this with a vintage CZJ 135mm. Manual focus is hard with moving objects, don't know how people did it back in the day.

Weird and Gilly from the forest floor yesterday. A butter cap perhaps? It's always hard to tell for sure.

Looking through rain sodden branches to a glacier mountain lake in the fog. Mountains rise either side of the lake with mist obscuring a large mountain at the far end of the lake.

I'm a day late for #ForestFriday. We were showing a visiting friend around Wicklow all day. It was a little wet. 💦

#Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #ColorADay #GreenSat #Ireland
A misty view into the forest. Some heather with a little Autumn colour still left in the foreground. The green of the forest trees washed out, shrouded in mist further back.

Hope I won't ruffle any feathers if I use this for #FlyDay.

Saw this lad parasailing just as I finished a hike. Looks like an amazing experience once you get the hang of it.

#Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland
Looking up at a single Parasail against a blue sky. Some wispy clouds here and there.
