Samhain blessing to ye all.....the thinning of the veil between the physical world and the Otherworld...❤️

I wandered through a less travelled area of Killaun wet woodland in late afternoon, and the sun burst through. My surroundings lit up like an Autumnal kaleidoscope ❤️

My first tentative venture out with my camera since I broke my elbow...a little tender, and a lot of physio needed, but I managed! So good for the soul to do what I love again...
I went to Orange wood en route to Roscrea and was rewarded with this magical Porcelain fungus deep in the woods. What a beautiful calm, serene morning before the storm ❤️

I had such a wonderful visit last week to Ann Derwin, the Irish ambassador to the Embassy of Ireland in The Netherlands, and Maaike van Koldam, the Dutch ambassador to Ireland, made a two-day joint visit to County Mayo as part of the -'County Pairing' initiative with the Netherlands.
They also visited the Ballycroy Visitor Centre of the Wild Nephin National Park, which currently features a small exhibition of work by the wonderful Bo Scheeringa of the Netherlands and myself. This exhibition was made possible by the NPWS at Wild Nephin National Park , thank you so much!
I was honoured to present Michael Chambers of Ballycroy Visitor Centre with a personal copy of my book Portal, and to present the Irish ambassador with a personal copy of my first book Tapestry of Light by way of thanks.

The photos remain as a permanent display at the Ballycroy Visitor Centre

The tiniest lichen with a little dew droplet, so small I couldn't see this little beauty with my eye, I found it while looking through my macro lens. 💕

It really is a wonderful time to visit Birr Castle Demesne...there's a little nip in the air, crisp leaves under foot, and Mother Nature is about to show her spectacular Autumnal colour palette

A little Jelly fungus among a forest of Devil's Matchstick lichen to brighten up your Friday ❤️

The Spiked shieldbug, blending in so well with his surroundings. While most shieldbugs are vegetarian, this larger shieldbug is a predator, and feasts on smaller invertebrates. The amazing prehistoric spikes at the shoulders are used in combat with other Spiked shieldbugs. Amazing nature! ❤️
