There’s no better cure for the late-winter blues than a trip to Altamont Gardens in County Carlow. Here’s another pic of the wonderful snowdrops there last week. 🌿🤍🇮🇪

A vertical, eye-level shot taken in a woodland setting at Altamont Gardens. The foreground is filled with a dense carpet of white snowdrops and occasional pink hellebores rising from green grass. To the left, large, thick tree trunks—likely beech—are covered in vibrant green moss. The background shows a depth of tangled bare branches and evergreen yew trees under a soft, diffuse, white-grey sky, creating a moody but peaceful winter atmosphere.

It’s wild to think that mushrooms are just the "fruit" of the organism. The real work is happening underground in a vast web of mycelium, breaking down dead leaves to feed the forest.

A low-angle, close-up shot of a pale white mushroom growing from a bed of brown, dry leaves on a forest floor. The mushroom has a flat cap that dips slightly in the centre, revealing prominent, delicate gills underneath. The stem is off-white and sturdy. The background is a soft blur of dark tree trunks and bright green foliage, with dappled sunlight creating a circular bokeh effect. The atmosphere is damp and earthy.

A moody, atmospheric view inside a dense forest. Dark, silhouetted tree trunks and tangled bare branches fill the frame, creating a chaotic but beautiful natural texture. Bright, golden sunlight bursts through the gaps in the wood, creating a misty, ethereal glow and distinct sunbeams that cut through the darkness. The lighting is high contrast, emphasising the warmth of the light. A graphic overlay at the bottom displays the text "Word of the Day: apricity" alongside the Pocket Ireland logo.

A vertical close-up photograph of a young evergreen tree branch. The sharp green needles are coated in white frost. The branch is backlit by bright winter sunlight, causing the ice crystals to sparkle and creating a glowing rim light around the needles. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of dark forest trees and a pale sky. Text at the bottom reads "Word of the Day: hyemal" alongside the Pocket Ireland logo and website address.

The sun trying desperately to shine yesterday at Devil's Glen Wood. 🌲✨

#photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #Wicklow #DevilsGlen #IrishNature #WinterWalks #ForestBathing #Ireland #NaturePhotography
A vertical low-angle shot looking up through a dense canopy of bare tree branches silhouetted against a bright, hazy, white sky. The sun is diffused behind the centre of the trees, creating a soft, glowing backlight. Darker evergreen bushes frame the bottom left, while the ground below is covered in reddish-brown bracken and ferns. The overall mood is atmospheric, high-contrast, and slightly mysterious.

A vertical photograph of a powerful waterfall crashing down over dark, jagged rocks. The water is a churning mix of white and cream colours, indicating a strong flow, creating a fine mist that rises into the damp air. Bare, thin tree branches frame the foreground on the right and left, suggesting a late autumn or winter setting. Text overlaid at the bottom reads 'Word of the Day: catadupa', 'What does it mean? Visit: www.pocket-ireland.com/words', and includes the Pocket Ireland logo.

The "tunnel" effect here actually acts as a natural sound dampener with the dense layers of needles and branches absorbing sound.. Ballinastoe Woods can be soooo quiet and peaceful!

#photography #EastCoastKin #Ballinastoe #Wicklow #IrishNature #Forest #Trees #MoodyGrams #NaturePhotography #Ireland
A vertical photograph looking down a dark forest path. The path is flanked by tall, dense coniferous trees. The lower branches are bare, dark, and tangled, creating a tunnel-like archway overhead that fills the frame. The scene is dimly lit, but bright, golden daylight shines through the opening at the far end of the path and filters down from the very top of the canopy, highlighting the texture of the woven branches.

A vertical, long-exposure photograph of a river flowing over and around moss-covered rocks, viewed through the split trunks of a large, moss-laden tree. The trees are starting to show autumn colours in their foliage (yellows and oranges), and the water is blurred to create a soft, ethereal effect. The scene conveys a peaceful, moody woodland atmosphere.

I enjoyed this very much, @Powersflowers

#books #nature #wildlife #IrishNature #environment #NatureWriting

Hardback copy of the book "An Irish Nature Year" by Jane Powers, placed on a colourful cushion with cactus design. The book cover is off-white, with the title in large green type and the author's name below it in orange. Surrounding the text are illustrations by Robert Vaughan of several Irish species: swallows and swifts in flight, a wren singing, and a small tortoiseshell and a wasp (I think) feeding on various flowers.

Frost on the glass, a robin in the bean bed.
Many of Ireland’s garden birds are now on red or orange lists — still singing, but fewer each year.

Feeders, water, ivy, hedges: small acts that hold the line through winter.

The Tiered Beauty of O’Sullivan’s Cascade

One of the highlights of a recent trip to Killarney was discovering O’Sullivan’s Cascade. There’s a 1.7 km walk from your car to the falls, but it’s worth it as the area is lovely.

The Forest Guardian

Early Saturday morning a few weeks ago we gathered to photograph deer as the sun rose. Walking through the forest in Killarney National Park we spotted a group of deer. The light was terrible. I’m sure this was shot at ISO 12800 to get a crisp image and I’m really happy with it.

This group of deer stayed in the forest away from curious humans for the rest of the morning, though we could hear this stag bellowing several times off in the distance.

Little Mountain Trumpet. #fungi #mushroom #naturephotography #macrophotography #woodland #treestump #moss #mountainscape #outdooradventures #naturelover #irishnature #smartphonephotography #photography
A close-up, low-angle shot of a small, pale mushroom with a fluted cap growing out of a dark, weathered tree stump covered in bright green moss. The background is blurred, showing long blades of dry grass on the left and a rocky, earthen mountain slope under a blue sky with white clouds. The focus is sharp on the mushroom and the immediate stump texture, creating a strong sense of depth.

A close-up, low-angle photograph of a large, brown-capped mushroom growing out of a moss-covered, decaying log in a forest. The mushroom has a wide, wavy cap with deep, visible gills underneath and a short, sturdy stem. The surrounding area is dimly lit and blurred, with dark branches and green foliage in the background, emphasizing the texture and form of the fungus.
