An Irish autumn day where it’s warmer outside than inside. Bees and even a few butterflies are making the most of it. #burren

Calm one tonight. #burren

Couple more shots from right now. #burren

If you’re not Moon-ed out, this was just before moonset at dawn this morning in North Clare. #burren

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. propublica.org/article/epa-sc…

The ⁦Burren College of Art⁩ must be the only international art center where the official footpath from village to campus takes you through a sheep field. #burren

A tale in two photos, shot from the same hillside rock. T-shirts drying in the sun on a warm Irish day and ⁦Burren College of Art⁩, the place I’m writing about, in the Ballyvaughan valley.

Incidentally, if you want to read an incredible book about the object in the photo (last night in north County Clare), it’s OUR MOON by ⁦Rebecca 🌕 Boyle⁩. Just longlisted for the National Book Award, joining 9 others. Brilliant storytelling, science imparting, and prose.

Butterflies and flowers still making a showing in north County Clare today. Common blue. Devil’s-bit scabious. Harebell. Grass-of-Parnassus. All here on Turlough Hill. #burren

Pano from Turlough Hill. #burren

View from Abbey Hill this evening. #burren

The original German of this is much more parsimonious: "Kinder, küche, kirche." It loses a lot when it's translated into English

Last cranesbill of 2024! (Or at least the only one I saw while wandering the Burren yesterday.)

Enjoying this game so far! #packers #ireland
