Wild Atlantic Way

A rainy, cloudy day but what the heck! We're not getting any younger. Off we went down the Wild Atlantic Way.
First stop was at the potters again, as Lisa and Sean had not been there. Then down the single lane road keeping my eyes peeled for turnouts and cars coming.
I was watching the road so hard I almost missed the photo of a lifetime - the rainbow! Brilliantly bright, very close and fortunately a pullout was right there. What fortune!
Then on our way, all of us marveling at the incredible scenery, the rawness of the wild land and the calm where a farmer had tamed it (for a while). The contrasts were stunning. Despite regular rain and lots of clouds it was the perfect day - or most likely it was because of them. Sunshine is great but cloudiness can help you see things otherwise hidden. Plus the saturated colors continue to pour into the eyeballs..
We stopped briefly at Kilcatherine - the church and graveyard along the way, and then again in Eyeries before heading back into Ardgroom for an Irish coffee to warm us up at the Village Inn.

Enjoy!

Our roadside miracle!
