Looking down Healy Pass toward Adrigole. Beara Peninsula, County Cork, Republic of Ireland.

Post script: digging out of the February 2/3 snow storm that hit upstate New York, a bit of the wild brushed by me as I finished up the drive way at twilight. A scraggly fox, travelling along the ploughed road, passed not 10 feet away making steady progress. I said, in a quiet voice,” its all right,” and it (he/she?) walked a bit faster. I watched as it stopped briefly to sniff a snow clump and continued.

I prefer my “mysteries” wrapped in a bun with mustard, dill relish and sauerkraut.

A similar landscape to yesterday’s post, in portrait mode. I lavished extra attention on the mounds of clouds.

Here the camera is turned toward the head of the valley across a wide sloping expanse. Clashduff townland comprises most this scene, we will remain in Clashduff until we breach the pass.
