Softly into the forest, golden worlds slip like dreams. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland #Scape #ForestFriday

This swan was doing the odd throat honking thing they do. It's a weird sound. Not sure why but I'm sure it wasn't related to me being nearby. He was doing this before he saw me and before I was anywhere near him. #Photography #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #Swan #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

A little Autumn colour for today because it's a grey drab looking day here in Dublin. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #ForestFriday #ColorADay #YellowThu #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

Which way to the mountain? A local farmer has added a helpful sign. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland

Similar to yesterday I ventured away from the main hiking trail into the woods and found this lush, primordial looking spot with a swampy lake and vine laden trees. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #Landscape #WoodlandWednesday #Forest #Trees #Woods #EastCoastKin #Ireland

For Alan's (@alan678.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay theme of #tricolour, I remembered I had a #Starling photo too. So here's one from last year at Bray in Co. Wicklow in #Ireland. #Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland #Birds #BirdOfTheDay

Yesterday in the woods. It's always worth wandering away from the hiking trial to see what's over there through the trees. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #Landscape #Trees #Woods #WoodlandWednesday #EastCoastKin #Ireland

Found a few more mushroom photos from late last year. Taken while hiking a forest in Wicklow (as usual). I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening. #Hiking #Photography #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #Mushrooms #MushroomMonday #Macro #MacroMonday #EastCoastKin #Ireland

Walking in woods where I found the first butterflies of the year. #Hiking #Photography #Ireland #10MinutesFromHome #Butterfly #EastCoastKin #Dublin

Out walking with my love by the Glencree River, she spotted these patterns. "My river runs to thee". #hiking #photography #river #sensoryart #spring #stunday #coloraday #orangesun #eastcoastkin #ireland

No fog here today, it's a beautiful sunny day. Yesterday I returned to a favourite spot, a nice crunchy forest path in the Wicklow countryside with an old stone wall winding through the forest. #hiking #photography #forestfriday #stunday #coloraday #greensat #blueskyartshow #stone #eck #ireland

One of the first Spring days last week. Snow overnight then bright blue beautiful skies the next day. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #EastCoastKin #Ireland

For #forestfriday, another foggy day wandering the forests in the hills above Dublin. #hiking #photography #eastcoastkin #scape #dublin #ireland

Another from Tenerife. This is Sally the light footed crab. These were all over the rocks at the beach there. Their yellow and red carapace is quite beautiful. #photography #eastcoastkin #tenerife #crab #beach #coloraday #yellowthu

I hope the hashtags get fixed soon. In the meantime, these two are from #tenerife. One minute between shots! Being closer to the equator, the sun goes down so quickly there. #hiking #photography #eastcoastkin #scape #sunset #coloraday #yellowthu

It looks like hashtags still aren't updating for many users this morning. For example the latest post I can see in #palacesandgardens is from 6 days ago.

Hey could I ask you to check something for me? I was browsing #WoodlandWednesday and I noticed my posts didn't appear in "Latest" tab. Then I got curious and checked #Hiking and #Ireland and none of my posts are there either. Does it look like this for other people too? Thanks.

Taken last Sunday evening, this is one of the nicest river walks near me. The Shankill River sits in a deep depression here and the trees grow at an angle to form the canopy overhead. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland #WoodlandWednesday

For the day that's in it, I'd better post something outlandishly green. The moss here will grow on anything that doesn't move! I know it looks fake but it really is that bright green colour in reality. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #WoodlandWednesday #StPatricksDay #Ireland

Good morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day from Ireland. Took this last Sunday evening. Enjoy the day and try not to overdo do it. 🍻 #Photography #EastCoastKin #StPatricksDay #Ireland

I haven't had a #MushroomMonday or #MacroMonday post in a while but I found these mushroom pictures from last Winter. These are from the forest hills around Dublin, Ireland. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #Mushrooms

A woodland walk. Our days are getting better. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

Good morning. Beautiful bright spring day here in Dublin. For Alan's (@alan678.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay theme of #GreyDay I've got this Grey Heron from our local park here in the Dublin suburbs. #Photography #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #Heron

A juvenile Mute Swan taken yesterday morning at the local park here in Dublin. For Alan's (@alan678.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay alt theme of #LongNecks. #Photography #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #Swan #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

An unusual find... I noticed a path leading into the trees and went to investigate. I ended up in a clearing that looks to have been used for a rave with these painted boards propped up against the trees. #Hiking #Photography #Rave #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJForJuxtaposition #Ireland

A little Robin for Rob's alt theme today of #Robins. #Photography #EastCoastKin #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #Dublin #Ireland

A view across Lough Dan in Wicklow, Ireland. We had some great Spring weather here last week. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #Scape #Landscape #Ireland

I'm going to double up #SwanDay and Alan's #BirdOfTheDay and claim this Mute Swan as #photogenic. Low Spring sunlight in the first few minutes of the day. One of the few times he got close and didn't charge me. #Photography #ECK #Dublin #Ireland #10MinutesFromHome #StunDay #Birds #Swan #SwanDay

I drove half way across the country to visit an ancient cairn and also went to this forest in Meath. The fog followed me there and I walked this forest path in the first light of the day. Verse in the alt. #EastCoastKin #ImageAndVerse #StunDay #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Ireland

Rob's (@robcrank68.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #StandingInWater so here's a Grey Heron doing just that. #Photography #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #Heron #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

Some forest daffodils, the first of Spring. #Hiking #Photography #Flowers #Spring #Bloomscrolling #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin #Ireland

For #GreenSat a walk through green dappled forest light. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #ForestFriday #ColorADay #GreenSat #Dublin #Ireland

For #ForestFriday this is a gentle river and forest walk before the real hike up to Seefin cairn begins. I think the swirl on this rock is man made. I don't remember seeing it there before. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland

I didn't think I'd have anything for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #MixedPairs today but I've just been to the park this morning and caught this pair. Got soaked in the rain but such is life in Ireland. #Photography #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #Swan #Heron

Dying of the light. Tenerife does get some amazing sunsets. #Photography #ColorADay #YellowThu #NaturePhotography #Scape #Sunset #EastCoastKin #Tenerife

The serene embrace of trees, away from the beaten paths. #Hiking #Photography #WoodlandWednesday #EastCoastKin #Ireland

Some rock formations from the slopes of Teide in Tenerife. A very dry, parched landscape. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #LandscapePhotography #Scape #Landscape #RockinTuesday #Teide #Tenerife

For #ForestFriday, two forest views on different sides of a Dublin mountain. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Scape #Ireland

A few holiday snaps from a hike/walk around Palm Mar in Tenerife. I'm told this is an old banana plantation but is now a very dried out landscape overlooking the Atlantic. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Tenerife

Watching a very hazy sunset at Malpais De La Rasca in Tenerife. #Hiking #Photography #Minimal #Sunset #ColorADay #YellowThu #EastCoastKin #Tenerife

We hiked around Tiede National Park yesterday and saw lots of these - Gallot's lizard (Tenerife lizard) a very common species, endemic to the Canary Islands. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Tenerife #Lizard #Tiede

A quick sunset snap between late afternoon cocktails and early evening dinner. #BlueSkyMonday #Photography #EastCoastKin #Tenerife #Sunset
