One of my favourite botanical days out this year, Muckanaght in the Twelve Bens range with the usual suspects @BSBI_Ireland @BSBIbotany
Love the orchid-like appearance of Stachys palustris, near Ballinasloe. @BSBI_Ireland @BSBIbotany
There are few flowers as beautiful as a fresh pyramidal orchid. @BSBI_Ireland
Great day at Torc waterfall and the old Kenmare Road today @BSBIbotany @BSBI_Ireland

Winter Errigal Sunset
Snow covered looks really magical, especially when the water in Lough Nacung is so calm.

An impossible journey

Fourteen shillings and sixpence Buncrana to Dublin by train.

Halloween on South Uist, 1932 looked pretty terrifying. Children made homemade costumes from sheepskins, haystack wigs, scraped-out skulls and sheep ears! One boy spent an entire day peeling the skin from a sheep skull to make his mask!

Hard to resist using again this brilliant image from @NASA setting it side by side with one of the most expertly made #prehistoricgold lunulae found near Mangerton, Co. Kerry in the sw of Ireland. Do I think lunulae are ultimately derived from observing solar events? Yes I do.
