Torrential rain and high winds in the #12Bens of #Connemara today. But that didn't stop us.
Sand, sea, and sky at Dog's Bay, Connemara this afternoon.

We also visited Omey Island, a tidal island on the western shore of Connemara. It had about 400 residents before the Famine and now has just a handful. Strange mix of holiday homes, long-derelict houses, and some more recently vacated
That dereliction is good for its wildlife, though, which seems to be thriving. Any help identifying this animal? Skull is about 8 cm long

The 12 Bens of #Connemara from the top of Diamond Hill. Misty and gusty up there, but a fun fast hike
In Letterfrack village we visited my friends in Books at One and picked up this beauty

Carnivorous wildflowers are among Ireland's lesser-known natural gems. We saw Round-leaved Sundew and Common Butterwort scattered on Lackavrea mountain

Serene view of Lough Corrib from Lackavrea in the Maamturk mountains. Perfect conditions for a ramble and a scramble

So much for a nice sunny view from the top of Diamond Hill. Perfectly fine lower down, but not at the peak

A relic of the last Ice Age that gives its name to Split Rock Trail (Conair na Carraige Scoilte) in the wind turbine park in east #Connemara

Turned out not to be so bad after all when I got there. I got some decent photos up on Flickr:

Still catching up on photos from last week, this lonely road through the #DooloughValley was beautiful in a wild remote way.

A loop of #Connemara wouldn't be complete without pausing at #KylemoreAbbey for a snap!
From the howling gale force winds of yesterday to the stillness of today.
Yesterday was a right off because of the wind but back at it today with a spin to Bearna.
Day 12 of 30 days of biking
