I was there too
Walkers in Killarney National Park a week ago when I was there trying to photograph the stags. A huge group of people out on a Saturday morning when a storm passed overhead and thunder and lightning filled the air.
A few of us from Blarney Photography Club braved the elements for our photography!

A gang of Kerry cattle observe me and a group of humans as we walk past their field.
Fun fact – they are “believed to be one of the oldest breeds in Europe” according to Wikipedia. 🙂

I spotted this nasty looking fella on a trail in Killarney last weekend. We hoped to catch the rutting but the weather was terrible, and stags were shy. No fights but a few photos to post later..
Anyway, this guy was huge! This page says they’re about 2.8Â cm, but I swear he was bigger. His tail comes up like a scorpion, and he scampered quickly across the ground, making him hard to photograph.
A ferocious and fast predator, the Devil’s coach horse beetle hunts invertebrates after dark in gardens and on grasslands. It is well-known for curling up its abdomen like the tail of a scorpion when defending itself.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a beetle like this before, but apparently they’re common!

An early morning drive to the Lakes of Killarney this morning resulted in an eventful trip for Blarney Photography Club today. Rain didn’t spoil the sunrise, but a trip afterwards to the Gap of Dunloe didn’t go so well with a literal storm blowing up between the hills.
The photo above is from Dinis Cottage if you’re interested. Lovely walk down there and so picturesque!

A small boat pulled up from the water close to Ross Castle near Killarney in Co. Kerry.
Not so long ago these metal edifices defined the skyline in Cork and other Irish cities. They’re all gone in Cork now, but there’s still one left in Killarney, County Kerry.
I hear tourists are taking photos of them now..

St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney in the background. We walked around the town a few weeks back but I didn’t have time to get down to the Cathedral this time. Still impressive, even from this distance.
I wonder if “Tim O’Brien & Sons Furniture Carpets” is online anywhere?
