The magic of the macro lens. New worlds open up! The first two are "chokladblommar", cosmos atrosanguineus -- what a great Latin name! The third one is my geranium.

One of my seaside sitting spots.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

First fun with the macro lens in the forest, and then a blast of colour on an different scale. So nice to be out.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Lichen in copper beech, and another of the lovely copper beeches at Nääs Slott.

Lovely lichen by the sea and in trees on my usual walk. I enjoyed watching the terns dive too. Living by the sea is a delight.

Lichen on rocks right by the sea here on the Kattegat at on of my “sitting by the sea” spots.

These tiny yellow mushrooms caught my eye. Chesterfield Gorge, New Hampshire.

More lichen from a windswept mountain top, this time Mount Battie in Camden, Maine.

More moss and lichen in Acadia NP

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

A windswept landscape full of life and colour. Cadillac Mountain, Maine. Look at the lichens!

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Good lichen even on top of windswept Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, Maine.

Scones with lemon curd in the sun. Hard to beat.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Belvedere House itself can be glimpsed behind the dancing trees. It is being renovated so we could not see the inside. But the garden was glorious!!

Happy World Table Tennis Day!

In Sligo, there is amazing scenery pretty much wherever you turn. This is across from the devils' chimney waterfall. It would be even better if there were native trees on the slopes where the sheep currently are.

Excellent trees and lichens at Belvedere House near Mullingar. Definitely worth another visit.

Bluebells at Hazelwood Forest near Sligo town

Admiring Atlantic waves at Mullaghmore Point, at both extremes of my 24-120mm lens. Afterwards, we had stunning mushroom soup, lobster bisque chowder and a heretical but lovely raspberry and white chocolate scone at the Harbour Cafe.

A view from inside the early mediaeval stone fort Cashelbaun, showing part of its outer wall.

Creevykeel Neolithic court tomb, co. Sligo (4000-2500 BC). Overall, the mound is about 50 metres long, with two main burial chambers beyond the court. www.archaeology.ie/monument-of-...

Sliabh League is a bit more obvious in this photo. Both Sligo and Donegal are highly recommended. Mindblowing scenery!

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

We had a lovely coastal walk at Aughris Head today. The prominent hill in the photo is Knocknarea, with Queen Maeve's tomb just visible as a mound on top. And you can even see Slieve League in Donegal to the left. It is nice to be in Ireland :)

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Great view from our hotel room in Sligo, near Rosses Point.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Luminous, melodic jazz with French jazz group Canto in Kungsbacka. Laurent Derache on Accordion was outstanding. This was the first concert of a tour of Halland.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Two views of the same wee drop that is part of Silverfallet, a water fall that powered alum and lime mining. Oh, and a blåsippa (blue anemone, hepatica, liverwort), a very important sign of spring here.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

More fun with lichens. I love the way the camera changes how one sees things.

Glamping. And looking forward to the dance of the cranes in the morning.

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Moss, lichen and a wee bit of tree worship at Särö Västerskog

Mary Sheeran @nishiorain.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Another lovely walk home after braving table tennis with the pensioners’ group at my club for the first time. 24 men and me :) It was great fun and they were super friendly. I saw these 2 oyster catchers on the way home. They flew away when I tried to get nearer.
