Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises- Pedro Calderon de la Barca

The good man is the friend of all living things- Ghandi

This site is dedicated to documenting nature's narratives on our green isle. Hopefully over the next few years I will collect, document and recreate my encounters with the nature of this beautiful island. This site is about affinity, creativity and inspiration.

The first list comes from a holiday in West Cork
