Upper Lake, Killarney

This is about 15km from my house and only a short hike down from the road.

It is always very much appreciated. This is one of my favourite spots to paint.

Having been away from home for a month I am looking forward to getting back in time for Autumn colours

Comment by Olivia O'Carra on April 5, 2014 at 7:40: Many thanks everyone for the comments.

Yes Jessica I am very lucky.. With Mountains Lakes and woodland nearby and the sea only an hours drive I am almost as lucky as Richard! So I have no excuse not to produce landscapes.

The National Park is closed to motor traffic so it is very peaceful but does involve a bit of a Hike.
