These pictures were taken on the same day as the Harvest Moon, along with the pictures of the evening dusk. The first two images were taken in the early morning, and the last image was of the Super Harvest Moon in the evening. The 18th of September was a very colourful day.
Autumn is the time of the year when colourful leaves and weather show up, especially in the mornings and evenings. Coagh Riverside Park is a minimal riverside woodland; it takes just 5 minutes or so to walk around, but it is a lovely wood beside the large Ballinderry River, which heads out into Lough Neagh…
The autumn morning walk took place a day after a particularly heavy downpour on Sunday. The autumn season is a great time to go out, especially with its colourful weather and landscape.
Springhill, located on the edge of Moneymore, offers a delightfully colourful autumn walk. One of my favourite ‘sweet & short’ casual walks. There are plenty of intriguing footpaths to explore, as well as some fascinating trees and plants to view.
Wellbrook Beetling Mill is the only beetling mill in the UK that can be visited. Just behind the mill, there is a delightful stroll through the wooded glen. The workers at Wellbrook Beetling Mill used a form of sign language to communicate because the beetling machinery, which pounded linen with wooden hammers, produced loud, deafening…
I have just managed to capture a full-body image of a brown hare, especially without the grass covering its feet. Its appearance is different from the Irish hare; I wasn’t even aware of the difference in species of hares in the UK/Ireland! See my other post on Irish hare; they seemed to have shorter ears…
On the shore of the Lough Neagh, at the Ballyronan Marina. The presence of a diverse bird population is evident there, thanks to the abundant Lough Neagh flies (midge), which are harmless but you can see from their presence in the photos. Pictures were taken on the 8th of April, due to better (and warmer)…
Only a few years ago, when there was a Facebook post warning about the giant hogweeds strewn along the riverside, did I learn about a little-known gem at Cookstown’s southern tip. The only other forest/wood is Drum Manor Park, but it is around a 3.5-mile drive from town and is, by far, much larger. Cabin…
A little-known forest park a couple of miles eastward from Stewartstown, County Tyrone. Great for some long walks.
The evening light filters through Carndasiy Glen, located near Moneymore.
Not very often do you see robins in the summer, and I thought they looked quite different from the ones you normally see in the winter. They appeared duller and less fluffy.
The image above captures a close-up view of the hare, which emerged momentarily after I inadvertently frightened the buzzard away while attempting to capture a close-up of it perched on a long tree. Apparently, the wildlife animals on the ground waited in hiding while the buzzards were hovering around above. Additional Photos (Misc)
