Spring Gentians at St Fiachtnan's Well, Fahee North, Carran

Searching for wildflowers on fine morning on the Burren with two of my children ,
 At  St Friachtans well near Carron ,Spring Gentians are in full flower, these Burren specialty flowers light up a sparce rugged landscape  that can sometimes seem bleak in life
