Gougane Barra

As I said on Monday, I also brought my camera to Gougane Barra, not just my phone. Gougane Barra is the source of the river Lee, which features heavily in my Cork photos! It’s a really pretty place with hiking trails and easier walks too. Click on the photos for a larger view.

iPhoneography Monday: Nature

Sally’s challenge was perfect for me this week. The theme is Nature and I was hiking in Gougane Barra when I saw the post come in!

I did have my other camera with me, so there will be some posts during the week!

Shamrock!

How old is the tree?

How about this one?

Mossy rocks.

A Walk on the Beach

Firstly, I’d like to thank Tazein over on Transcending Borders for nominating me for the Best Moment Award. Click the link and check out her blog.

Because of an error on my part we ended up at a loose end last night. So, we decided to take a walk along the beach nearest to us before it got dark, so I could brush up on my stone skimming skills-they’re not good!

A very random thing washed up on the beach.

Yesterday was a holiday for us and we went to Kinsale. I’ve posted plenty of colourful photos of Kinsale here before, so here are a couple of black and white ones.
