Chasing Bogha Báistí

But mark! what arch of varied hue

From heaven to earth is bowed?

Haste, ere it vanish, haste to view

The Rainbow in the cloud 
Felicia Dorothea Hemans*

A wild night and then a day of amazing cloudage, occasional downpours, sunshine and rainbows. This was a mighty one and it lasted for ages, I was in and out of the car from Bantry until going over the hill after the fish factory!  I have zoomed to the max where Whiddy Island was basking under this bogha báistí mór (yes still learning Irish and not getting any easier).

And excitement is building in Bantry, the green lights are going up for Paddy's Day, the first since 2019!
