Golden sunset over a grassy bog, with clumps of tall reeds and soft green patches in the foreground. The sun sits low near the horizon, glowing through a line of trees, while scattered clouds catch warm orange light against a fading blue sky.

Good memory, fair play. Looks like the post has been deleted.

That’s my photo. Please credit the original creator when reposting.

Thank you for highlighting this Sara.

Thank you 🙏

They still see you even if you won’t see them.

Sure have but never visited. Love the West Country.

What, you can’t see them?

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

And thank you. It’s a beautiful spot.

Beautiful

I’ll take that as a compliment 😜 thank you

Some horrific stories from the not to distant past.

Good that you take what you can from nature in your work.

Sounds like Cobh, down the harbour from the city.

You’re welcome and thank you

They are bluebells

A tranquil woodland scene on the grounds of the former Bessboro mother and baby home: a moss-covered fallen tree arches low across the frame, surrounded by slender, leafing branches. The forest floor is carpeted with vibrant green moss, ferns, and clusters of delicate purple-blue wildflowers, likely bluebells, creating a soft, almost luminous contrast against the earthy browns. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the scene with warm highlights, lending a sense of quiet beauty and stillness to a place with a notorious history.

Blown away by the reaction to yesterday’s photo. Thanks for all the shares and likes. Here’s another from the opposite direction.

Struggling to see that 🦁

Thank you Edna

Most welcome, glad you like it

As always, thank you

Thank you so much. Do come visit. It’s a lovely spot in an otherwise very dark setting on the notorious Bessboro Mother and Baby Home lands.

Moss-covered fallen tree trunk in a lush woodland, with ferns growing on its surface and a carpet of bluebells in the background. Thin tree branches arch overhead, framing a narrow dirt path that winds throughout the green, spring-like forest.

A wide, tranquil river under a clear blue sky, with gentle ripples reflecting the light. A few low clouds stretch across the horizon. On the right bank, a row of houses sits beside a tree-covered hillside, while the distant shoreline is lined with trees. Sparse branches frame the foreground near the water’s edge.

Blue sky at last

A snail inches along a wet white traffic light control box, its glossy brown shell reflecting the dim light. The scene is blurred by drizzle, with damp stone in the background, capturing the quiet, slow mood of a miserable rainy night.

Someone loves this miserable weather

Cluster of pale pink and white double cherry blossoms hanging from a branch, with tightly closed rose-colored buds nearby. Fresh green leaves frame the flowers, while a softly blurred canopy of branches and sky forms a dreamy background. 🌸

Cherry Blossom perhaps

🐕 🚶📱 📸 📷 🌳 🌸 🍒

A low-angle view of a path after recent heavy downpours, where a large puddle stretches across the foreground like a mirror. Fresh green trees and hedges line the path, their branches and leaves reflected clearly in the still water. A fence runs along the right side, and the sky above is a mix of bright blue patches and lingering grey clouds, hinting at rain just passed.
