So, as you may have noticed, I disappeared for two weeks. Don´t worry, I´m not flaking on my blog, I have no intention of going anywhere. However, I was on holidays. I had hoped to have better access to the internet while I was away but, sadly, that was not the case. I was living off the limited service that my phone provided me with. So; lesson learned – next time I decide to go on holidays I´ll schedule my posts to publish in my absence. What can I say? I was naïve: forgive me!
That said, having missed the weekly challenge last week, I was eager to get this one in on time. I was quite excited when I saw the challenge. I managed to fit in a lot of hill walking on my little trip to Ireland. I feel that this challenge allows me to show off the beautiful landscape that I was lucky enough to see on my trip, while also serving as a little warm up to the posts to come.
So; all that´s left to say is – enjoy!
So, there you have it, my humble entry into the weekly challenge this week. If you liked it, and would like to see some more, check out these entries:

Thanks so much, I was lucky with this one. I don´t have the best of cameras, its shutter speed is quite slow, so I had a few shots of the sky before I managed to catch this one! Have a great day!

Thanks so much, Sylvia. I do quite like the Hawk, I went to this bird sanctuary while I was away and, as always, I was very snap happy there. It´s funny, I´m usually not a fan of these centres, but I loved this one. No cages, no chains. The birds seemed so relaxed and happy, flying around in their environment. Very well run centre! Have a great day! 🙂

Unfortunately, Irish weather is a bit unpredictable. It’s always a risk whenever you choose to go. Normally; April, June and September are good enough but, as I said: there’s no guarantee! I was very lucky when I went this April, the weather was great! Sorry I can’t be of more help, sadly, it’s luck of the draw! Generally though the start of June and the start of Septemeber are good!
