Irish Spring County Clare Sunrise

Irish Spring County Clare Sunrise

After a restless week of unsettled, and at times, downright ornery weather, Mother Nature served up a lovely Irish Spring sunrise over the County Clare, Ireland, countryside.

Days are getting noticeably longer, with brighter evenings.

Within the next month, trees will sprout new leaves, and the Emerald Isle countryside will begin its annual transformation from plain green to multiple shades of green accented with colorful blooming wildflowers.

While Spring does not begin officially and astronomically until the Spring Equinox on March 21, the meteorological Spring season begins each year on March 1.
