Mournes, p2

One of the things I missed this spring was the blooming of various loved plants in my Chester Springs gardens. The volume and variety of blooms in Ulster has definitely assuaged my loss. Foxglove was blooming along the trail to Slieve Donard--purple and white.

Below I'm looking back down to the Irish Sea and the charming town of Newcastle.
