Black Head for #seawednesday

We're in the Burren in Co. Clare again. It's a very special place. It is the only place in the world where Artic/Alpine and Mediterranean/Subtropical plants grow side by side. This is due to the unique karst landscape and its microclimate. It the home to about 1100 plant species out of the 1400 species in the whole of Ireland. There are also two butterflies that live there - The Pearl-Bordered Fritillary and the Brown Hairstreak which are not found anywhere else in Ireland.

Oh! There's also a really cute fox that my Dad has basically adopted.

A little over 5 million years ago, water from the Atlantic Ocean found a way through the present-day Strait of Gibraltar. According to this theory, oceanic water rushed faster than a speeding car down a kilometre-high slope towards the empty Mediterranean Sea, excavating a skyscraper-deep trough on its way. @ScienceAlert reports:

A high-angle, medium shot captures a gull interacting with a bright yellow tennis ball on a large, algae-covered rock surrounded by clear, rippling water. The gull is positioned centrally on the rock, appearing to nudge or play with the ball using its beak. Its wings are partially outstretched, revealing white and grey feathers. The rock itself is a mottled brown and green, showing signs of marine vegetation. The surrounding water is clear enough to see submerged rocks and algae beneath the surface. The overall lighting suggests it is daytime, with natural light illuminating the scene. The composition focuses on the interaction between the gull and the tennis ball within the natural environment.

Early morning airplane sunrises make it all the more worth it

Back north where it snowed yesterday and already missing the beautiful climate and scenery of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico! People were also pretty nice though the driving was slightly terrifying! Hope we can plan a longer visit next time!

#FootpathFriday with a throwback to #Cornwall. In 2013, we hiked the #SouthWestCoastPath from Penzance to St Ives in the baking August heat. As you can hopefully see in this low-quality photo, the #scenic views were glorious!

And those colours ...
