Life in some ways during the current lockdown due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 is continuing as normal, at least in the countryside.

Here sheep roam the fields, one field actually, this triangle-shaped field on the edge of the mountains.

A large tree stands guard over the small patch of land, and along with most of the low-level trees here, remains leafless - for now.

Higher, above, conifers line the top of the flat topped mountain.

In the hedges yellow-orange of the gorse bloom can be seen, a plant that flowers all year round in places.

It's a scene of green with flashes of colour, of an expectation of better things to come - leafy trees, sheared sheep and longer days of summer.

I can't run Panoramic Ireland's photography tours right now due to the current pandemic, not even cancer treatment last year stopped me, but you can support the site here below to help cover running costs and a new microphone so that I can make better podcasts and videos, thanks to all who have donated so far - I've been in contact to say thank you.
