The Sandycove View

Another of our favourite places between Wicklow and Dublin is Sandycove and today,on  panoramic Saturday,we take in an early morning wide view across from the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, to Scotsman's Bay and the seafront of Sandycove.

Upper Vartry Reservoir

Today we're at the Upper Vartry Reservoir, near Roundwood, County Wicklow and you can fish here for brown trout, should you have the required fishing permit.

The Solitary Cormorant

I've only ever seen one cormorant at a time, feeding in Wicklow Harbour, presumably this is the same one that I pictured in this earlier post. Solitary fishing seems to be the norm for cormorants in these parts especially in springime during the breeding season.

The Harbour Kite

This guy and his kite are a new and welcome addition to the ever changing scene around Wicklow Harbour.

Next Stop Summer

Back on our favourite Magheramore Beach near Blainroe, County Wicklow on a beautful sunny late afternoon and it's obvious that summer's just round the corner!

Nice Doggie!

Walking along the promenade in Bray, Co Wicklow I wasn't sure this fellow quite liked me taking his picture and so I didn't stop to ask his name - nice doggie!

Low Tide

Low tide in the little harbour at Bray, County Wicklow and all boats are sitting on their keels.
