Saltee Islands

Every year I visit the Saltee Islands, off the coast of Wexford, yesterday was my first visit for this year. It is an absolute treat to spend the day on this Island, listening to the sea and the birds calling to each other. It is possible that you will find one person asleep at some …

Bluebell Woods

A couple of weeks ago, myself and a friend went to Manor Abbey Woods in Kildare to take photos of some Bluebells. Neither of us had been to this woods before, so, it was an interesting trip. I am going to compile a list of Bluebell Woods as it seems quite tricky to find information …
