I drew this from a photo I took many years ago on the only visit I have ever made to the south-west of Ireland. I was there to look at mosses and liverworts in some woods, and it was fascinating. I saw lots of uncommon western species, and a strawberry tree. The trees in this picture are oak and holly. Looking forward to another trip to SW Ireland some time…
