An Afternoon at Birr Castle

We set out that Sunday for Birr, Co. Offaly vaguely expecting to attend a Vintage festival. However when we got there, it was mid-afternoon on the last day and little of any of the event as left so we decided to visit Birr Castle grounds. We'd been there before several years ago, particularly to view the Leviathan Telescope but not recently so we were very happy to see how there have been improvement in the 'scope and the extensive grounds since our last visit.
The weather was very lovely - sunny but not too warm - and the vegetation and lake stood out nicely in the ambient light.
Of course Connie was with us - she's not allowed into the children's area but otherwise was welcome on-lead. Huddie stayed home - he was having a grump-day.

Took a few phone-photos.

















I spy a Turkey across the lake
