May in Landscapes
May was a stunning month with little rain and hot summery spells. We had so many sunny days, I have already started getting a tan. It is nice to think of those warm days on a cold, windy and rainy June afternoon.
By the end of the month all the trees have grown their full canopies. Everything is lush. The trees surrounding our garden make the place feel cozy, versus open and bare in the winter.
I took this last year on a motorbike spin over Moll's Gap. So much easier to stop on the side of these tiny roads with a bike rather than a car.
This photo is from Kilbrittain in Co.Cork, I took it on one of this year's motorbike spins. It wasn't exactly a picturesque kind of day. But when you have a litter of pups, you go when you can, rain or sunshine.
View of Kinsale Bay from Charles fort in Co.Cork captured on the same gloomy day as the one above from Kilbrittain. This was my first spin on the back of the bike after getting my own and doing my licence. It was great fun to reminisce about our European trip last year.
Golden leaves make me think of autumn, but I took this photo mid-May. The maple trees have revealed their new leaves only to lose them again in a couple months' time.
During the summer as the sun sets north of West it casts shadows on the mountainside. These shadows reveal a beautiful ripple in the valley from a meteorite impact.
This abandoned castle on top of a rock surrounded with rhododendrons is located on Moll's Gap.
And below is the view of Kenmare Bay right across from this abandoned castle. It is no wonder they had decided to build it there. I am sure the views from there would be spectacular.
