A calm lake reflects the surrounding conifers and sky on a clear morning. The fall colours of the maples on a hill in the distance. I shot this while on a morning hike last Monday.

Just out of sight of a pretty little waterfall on the Ring of Kerry sits this twisted and broken old tree. Quietly beautiful, but overlooked by passersby.

A twisted and broken old tree surrounded by blooming heather and other flowers. A little off the path of a pretty little waterfall that people were stopping at for pictures. Strikingly beautiful ! I suspect someone has been showing this tree enough love that it will flourish for many more years.

Colourful 18th century houses known as “the long walk” in Galway, Ireland (can be captured with a sufficient wide angle ,so not a long walk) The sailboat “L’Enfant Sauvage” is moored at low tide. There is a lone gull hovering above while several forage the bed of the River Corrib.

Panorama from somewhere off the Ring of Kerry. Pulled over and left my wife waiting in the car to climb over a fence and large rocks for this shot. To my surprise someone had left me a little something for my troubles. I love when that happens.
