Kinsale in Full Bloom

Kinsale’s tidy towns group must work overtime and they do a fantastic job of keeping the town tidy and colourful. These flowers were in a small boat at the end of the quay and make the area look so pretty.

A close-up, slightly moody photograph of a cluster of small, vibrant purple Verbena flowers, featuring a mix of tiny, flat blossoms and taller, tubular buds with delicate hairs on the stalks, capped with water droplets. The flowers are in sharp focus against a soft, dark-green and out-of-focus background. The overall tone is rich and slightly dramatic.
