On my second visit to the Curraghmore estate near Portlaw I found this tiny beautiful waterfall. Here are some more pictures from that day.
Horse riders at the entrance to the estate.
A road yet to be explored.
Amazing play of light in the tree branches.
Evergreen ivy.
Wild plums in bloom.
Ferns growing on the tree branches.
I saw many pheasants, but they didn’t let me come close. Except this one.
Young pheasant hen didn’t mind me either.
This is not a monster but a pheasant hen taking off.
Good for her. This one was not as careful – pheasants have many natural predators.

Curraghmore House, the residence of Henry Nicholas de la Poer Beresford, 9th Marquess of Waterford.
Farm buildings.

The Tower, or Steeple, in the distance. I visited this sad monument in March.
I will share more pictures from my walk to The Tower next week.
Have a wonderful weekend!













The pheasant with the red head is glorious! Many thanks!!! 😀
Beautiful Inese.
Loveliness!
Inese, your blog reminds me that there are still many beautiful places in our world that we must cherish and preserve.
Wow you take such nice photos. I love the tiny waterfall that seemed surreal and your nature photos you have the eye for. You have such history in your country. Love seeing the old buildings ❤
Perfectly enchanting photos, Inese. I really liked taking this walk with you, you have a way of pulling out the sweetest beauties. I love that tiny waterfall.
Wow. I fell in love with that waterfall but there are so many other great shots as well. So nice. Cheers
Oh, marvellous images, Inese! The evergreen ivy one is very magical, mysterious…
You capture magic with your camera, Inese. Lovely photos. The fourth in this post is my favourite. 🙂
A beautiful walk with much to see. Glad you are back, Inese!
Almost magical
Simply beautiful
As Sheldon Always
Ethereal post! Thanks for posting.
Very nice natural scenery to explore from this place. Love the ivy and the blooming plum pictures. I think you have connections with these cute birds 🙂
That’s a beautiful photo of the house. We’re it not for the cars it would seem to transport you back a couple centuries.
Good to see you back.
Lovely as ever. I add my good wishes
A lovely walk first thing today. Hope you are good xxxxxxxxxxxx
Beautiful photos! I hope you are feeling fine 🙂
