ECCG Group at Ballyannan Wood

A damp morning greeted the members when we met at the Midleton Park Hotel this morning. Keeping an eye on the weather over the weekend to see if the shoot could go on, we decided in the end to ‘go for it’ as we had been rained off so many times already this year. We were glad we did.

The wood, just on the edge of Midleton town, was a treasure trove of plants, trees and graphic shapes and the bluebell crop was in full bloom adding a vivid vitality to the scene. The damp weather had lent its own unique spice to the landscape leaving delicate drops of moisture on the flowers and leaves. Along with the woodland, the estuary shore added another dimension with old boathouses, graffiti and beached timber among the photographic subjects.
