Spring has finally arrived in Ireland, we're more than half way through the season meteorologically speaking, it's mid-April and we have finally got warm temperatures, low winds, blue sky and sunshine.

I've been busy photographing throughout the winter, notably for the New York Times, but it is always a delight to see the first days of spring arrive.

Butterflies flit and flutter throughout, bees buzz and hum from flower to flower and the trees have awoken from their months-long slumber.

Welcome to longer, warmer, brighter days of spring and summer.

And that means it is the perfect time to join me, Panoramic Ireland, on a photo tour and workshop in Ireland. From the sunny streets of Dublin to the Caribbean-looking waters of the west of Ireland.

The little stream, of no particular renown, continues tumbling down the slope towards the sea as it has done for thousands of years.

Here, in the shaded valley carved over time by the action of water continuously flowing and falling, we find lots of mosses, lichens and bryophytes.

Seen throughout the year, the Irish hare is most visible in the spring months when it leaps and bounds, twists and turns, flashing across the green fields of the Irish countryside as seen in this image.

The Irish hare Lepus timidus hibernicus is a distinct subspecies of the mountain hares found all over the top of the northern hemisphere. All Lepus timidus bar hibernicus change their coats of fur to white in winter to match with typical winter conditions of snow at such northern latitudes. But due to Ireland's mild climate and lack of white covering the landscape, the local hares keep a brown coat all winter long - an evolutionary change.

If you happen to find yourself walking around Dublin you might have a look around Anne's Lane just off South Anne Street in the city centre. Here, outside a bar called Zozimus you will find the structure suspended between you and the sky above.

The second installation of colourful umbrellas has been installed and it makes the narrow lane look bright and colourful in good weather, the umbrellas are still looking good in 2024 although one or two are now looking a little in need of attention.

Dublin is of course much more than the traditional tourist attractions, it makes for a great city to just walk around enjoying and photographing the parks, riverside quays and narrow lanes in the city centre.
