Ross Castle

Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarneyโ€™s lower lake and was built by Oโ€™Donoghue Mรณr in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that Oโ€™Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as Oโ€™Donoghueโ€™s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.

Beautiful Ross Castle in the evening after some afternoon rainโœจ

Ross Castle is a 15th-century tower house and keep on the edge of Lough Leane, in Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. 
It is the ancestral home of the Chiefs of the Clan Oโ€™Donoghue,later associated with the Brownes of Killarney.

Ross Castle was built in the late 15th century by local ruling clan the Oโ€™Donoghues Mรณr (Ross), though ownership changed hands during the Second Desmond Rebellion of the 1580s to the MacCarthy Mรณr.

There is a legend that Oโ€™Donoghue leapt or was sucked out of the window of the grand chamber at the top of the castle and disappeared into the waters of the lake along with his horse, his table and his library. It is said that Oโ€™Donoghue now lives in a great palace at the bottom of the lake where he keeps a close eye on everything that he sees.

This feels soooo good! This is one of my favourite techniques from the world of structural integration (of which I have many). The eccentric contraction of the muscles along the side of the spine combined with the slow, deep pressure helps to not only free up restrictions but can also give you sensory feedback to move into parts of your spine that don't move so freely. We all have parts of the spine that we have blind spots to, for many athletes it's the lumbar spine (low back) to which they struggle with going into flexion because many are stuck in extension, this helps to free up the soft tissue around the low back so that the spine is able to explore those ranges of motion more easily. This technique is not only good for athletes though everyone can benefit from a spine that is able to move more freely.

No one ever feels as lucky as when hitting the coast of Ireland on a warm, sunny day. The Wild Atlantic Way doesn't disappoint. โ €

We just drove through the Gap of Dunloe (magical!!), the Black Valley, Moll's Gap and we are currently at the Dog Friendly, Dinis Cafe, in Muckross.
This is a beautiful stop off for walkers/cyclists, plus there's a water station and treats for our canine companions too!
* Another lucky find! *

Touring Muckross House in Killarney, Ireland with kidsareatrip and we3travel. The family who built the hunting lodge spent their fortune and six years preparing to host Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in hopes of securing a knighthood. Prince Albert died two months after their visit, and no knighthood was granted since the Queen went into deep mourning. But they sure enjoyed magnificent views of the lakes in Killarney.โ €

I heard the Ring of Kerry was gorgeous, but nothing can prepare you for the beautiful terrain you will come across. And within that beauty is a rich history. 
We ventured off the Ring of Kerry to the Skelligs Ring and discovered old castle ruins and forts. This is the Lecanabuile Stone Fort, surrounded by sheep and the countryside.

Torc Waterfall

Another beautiful waterfall..this time in Ireland. Along the Ring of Kerry near Killarney is Torc waterfall. 
According to legend the waterfall was created by a man who had been cursed by the Devil to spend each night transformed into a wild boar (or a wolf in other versions). After being found out he burst into flame, jumps into a lake which then creates the waterfall.

Totally makes sense. Slainte.

I dragged these two up a mountain to show them famine cottages & lazy beds at first light; Iโ€™m pretty sure itโ€™s not what theyโ€™d envisioned on their romantic holiday to Ireland๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Iโ€™m fully booked for couple sessions this summer, Iโ€™d recommend booking your couple/engagement session next summer, now, if you want to secure your spot xxx

Winter Lake Morning

Working back in Killarney National Park is like hanging out with an old friend, except now they've got new stories to tell.

I'm really enjoying having another look at locations that I didn't quite get to work in for my first book , for this next one.. KINGDOM ..( definitely coming this autumn ! ) 

It was apparently very easy to overlook some amazing locations and to rule out others for being difficult to get to. Now I have the time and a bit more confidence to take them on and see them in them in the first place .

Hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe and well. If you're the new owner of a print, book or calendar this year .. do let me know and I hope it was a welcome gift !!
