The woods have ears! 👂 Specifically, Jelly Ear fungi. Spotted these gelatinous oddities clinging to a branch high up in the Glen of the Downs. Nature can be wonderfully weird sometimes.

A low-angle, close-up shot looking up at a thick, textured tree branch stretching horizontally across the frame. Clusters of brown, translucent, ear-shaped fungi are growing along the top of the branch. The background is a soft, out-of-focus bokeh of white sky and green leaves, suggesting a woodland canopy in natural daylight.

Straight out of a storybook! 🍄 Stunning Fly Agarics lighting up the forest floor back in autumn. Nature’s warning signs have no right being this pretty!

A close-up, eye-level photograph of three bright orange-red mushrooms growing on a forest floor. The mushrooms, identified as Fly Agaric, have white textured spots on their caps. The largest mushroom is in the foreground, showing distinct gills underneath. The background is a soft blur of brown fallen leaves, twigs, and dark green ivy, creating a moody, autumnal atmosphere. The lighting is soft and natural.

The silence of the woods in winter is heavy, but the colours are still vibrant. Glendalough isn't all about the lakes; the ancient woodlands are a world of their own. 🌲💚

A low-angle, immersive photograph of a dense forest in Glendalough, Ireland. Dozens of tall, slender tree trunks stretch vertically towards the top of the frame, their bark heavily coated in vibrant, velvety green moss. The upper branches are bare and intricate, silhouetted against a pale, overcast white sky. The forest floor is a carpet of lush greenery and ferns. The lighting is soft and diffuse, creating a moody, ethereal, and quiet winter atmosphere.

The clouds finally cleared at Mount Usher Gardens this afternoon. Caught these little snowdrops soaking up the rare winter sun. Nothing quite like the first blooms of the year to lift the spirits. 🌿✨

A low-angle, close-up shot of white snowdrop flowers growing in vibrant green grass. The focus is on a central flower with its head bowed, illuminated by soft sunlight. In the background, a dark, stone archway is visible but out of focus, creating a blurred, bokeh effect with dappled light filtering through trees behind the arch. The overall mood is peaceful and hints at early spring.

The rain might keep some indoors, but it makes the forest colours pop. 🌧️🌿 Lichen is sign of clean air, too. Lichen thrives where the air is pure!

A close-up vertical shot of a textured tree trunk in a forest. The rough bark is heavily covered in pale, mint-green crusty lichen. Climbing diagonally across the trunk are vines of dark green English ivy with distinct pale veins. Small, clear raindrops rest on the waxy surface of the ivy leaves. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of brown and green woodland tones, highlighting the sharp detail of the flora in the foreground.

A "light at the end of the tunnel" moment in the woods. 🌲✨

A vertical photograph taken from within a dark, dense forest. Tall, black silhouettes of coniferous tree trunks stand vertically on the left and right, framing a bright, glowing area of white and pale yellow light in the centre distance. The foreground is in deep shadow, filled with the textures of thin, bare branches and fallen timber. The light source is strong, creating a high-contrast, moody atmosphere as it breaks through the canopy.

The hike up to the Octagon at the Glen of the Downs never disappoints. Standing in the footprint of the old La Touche estate, you get the absolute best frame for the Wicklow landscape. 🌿🌤️

A low-angle, wide view from inside a roofless stone ruin. Several large, arched window openings curve around the structure, framing a view of a lush, green wooded valley and distant hills. The sun bursts brightly over the top left edge of the wall, creating a colourful lens flare. The sky above is a vibrant blue with scattered white clouds. The stone walls look weathered and textured.

That moment when you look up from the gravel path and realise the sun has already said goodbye to the forest floor, but it’s still dancing on the hills above.

A vertical photograph taken from a gravel forest path looking upwards through a gap in tall, dark evergreen trees. The trees frame a distant mountain slope which is illuminated by bright, golden sunset light, contrasting sharply with the shadowed foreground. Above the hill, the sky is a soft mix of pale blue and pink clouds. The mood is peaceful and atmospheric.

A staring contest I definitely lost. 🦌This Sika doe paused in the heather just long enough for a portrait before disappearing into the hills.

#photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #Deer #WildlifePhotography #Wicklow #Nature #BlackAndWhite #Ireland #SikaDeer

A close-up, black and white portrait of a female deer, likely a Sika, looking directly at the camera. The deer is positioned waist-deep in textured heather and gorse bushes. Her ears are perked up and facing forward. The lighting is soft, highlighting the coarse texture of her fur and the scrubby vegetation in the foreground. The background is blurred, keeping the focus entirely on the animal's face.

This is what you call Devil's Drama. It's Devil's Glen, Co. Wicklow after days of torrential rain. It was truly impressive! 💦🌊

A high-contrast black and white photograph of a powerful waterfall in full flood. The water is a chaotic wall of white foam and spray, dominating the frame with intense energy. In the foreground on the left, the sharp, black silhouette of a leafless tree branch reaches across the white water. A large, dark, wet boulder sits at the top right, anchoring the composition. The image conveys a sense of raw natural power and deafening noise.

The Upper Lake in Glendalough. This view never gets old! 🌲

A landscape photograph taken from the shore of a lake, looking down a U-shaped valley. In the foreground, the calm water is a steel-blue colour. On the right, a dense, dark green pine forest covers the hillside. On the left and centre, the mountains are rugged and rocky, covered in brown bracken and grey scree slopes. A thin, white waterfall trickles down the distant rock face. The scene is framed at the top by out-of-focus, bare tree branches against an overcast, white sky.

Just Behind the Tree... 147 Million km Away! 🌞🌲 I stopped to snap this yesterday because with the evening haze it looks like the sun is a lamp hidden just behind that tree 😅

A vertical shot taken within a dense, dark forest. The foreground is filled with the intricate, silhouetted shapes of dry pine branches, twigs, and rough tree trunks covered in patches of green moss. Through a gap in the centre of the tangled branches, a burst of intense, warm golden sunlight shines through, illuminating the mist and creating a glowing window that contrasts sharply with the surrounding shadows. The light looks like fire or a lantern behind the trees.

The sun finally came out in Wicklow! 🌲✨ After what felt like weeks of rain, catching this light near Raven's Rock felt absolutely restorative. A perfect winter walk. 🇮🇪

A vertical shot taken from within a dark, shaded forest looking out toward a sunlit mountain range. In the foreground, a rough, rocky path winds through young evergreen trees and reddish-brown bracken. Dark tree branches arch over the top of the frame, creating a natural vignette. In the background, bright sunlight bursts through heavy clouds (crepuscular rays), illuminating soft, hazy mountain slopes in shades of warm gold and pale grey.

POV: You're crouching on the forest floor in Ballinastoe Woods waiting for the perfect light. 🌲✨

The forest is bare, apart from one splash of orange. It's called marcescence, where young trees keep their leaves through winter to protect spring’s delicate buds from frost & deer.

A vertical shot of a woodland path in Devil's Glen. A large, dark tree trunk with green moss at the base frames the left side. A small tree with bright, fiery orange leaves stands out vividly against a background of intricate, bare grey branches and tall pine trees. A rough, gravelly path leads from the bottom right into the centre of the forest. The light is soft and diffuse, creating a moody, atmospheric feel.

Stepping into the green corridor at the Devil’s Glen. 🌿🇮🇪

An eye-level shot looking down a narrow dirt hiking path winding through a rocky forest gorge. The path is flanked by high, jagged vertical rock walls that are heavily carpeted in thick, vibrant green moss, ferns, and wild grasses. Above, the bare branches of tall deciduous trees arch over the path, creating a natural tunnel. The lighting is soft and diffuse, filtering through the canopy from the end of the path, highlighting the rich textures of the greenery and the rough stone. The atmosphere is damp, quiet, and enclosed.

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

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.

Lurking in the branches at Mount Usher Gardens! Was strange to see such a large water bird perched so high up, but Grey Herons actually nest in tall trees like this. 🌿🐦
