31 - The Green Boat
A green boat sits in the shallows at low tide in Crosshaven, County Cork.
30 - Keeping the Chicks Alive
2 chicks are fed by a parent just outside the window of my home office here in Blarney.
The chicks have been there all evening and I just looked out again and they’re still there. Unfortunately the neighbour’s cat, Patches, saw them too and is keeping a vigil close by. We saw the parent bird literally dive bomb the cat several times but Patches won’t be moved.
A moment before this shot was taken the first chick was fed. I have a photo of that too but I thought this was the better one.
Is it common for young birds to huddle together on a wire in the shelter of a house? It troubles me that they might be in danger or injured and can’t fly away. Anyone know?
29 - The Flowers of Fuchsia
Fuchsia flowers in my dad’s back garden.
I’ve tried to photograph fuchsia plants many times but the flowers are so delicate that any sort of breeze will set them shaking. I took this photo with the Canon 50mm resulting in a very fast shot and thankfully the lack of wind helped too!
(Posting this so “early” in the day because I’m debugging a supercache bug, must revert that “not logged in” message.)
28 - Rocky Bay
Rocky Bay in County Cork is a beautiful little sandy beach, despite the name.
27 - Crosshaven on the water
The town of Crosshaven in County Cork as seen from across the water.
Lots of photos uploaded to the photowalk homepage. I have to judge a winner in the next few days..
26 - Matthew Sadler
Footballer Mathew Sadler is immortalised in a playing card, unfortunately discarded on the ground in Youghal, County Cork.
25 - Tribute to Jacko
A stencilled tribute to Michael Jackson on Parnell Bridge near Cork City Hall.
24 - The 8A Bus
A man gets on the 8A bus to Curraheen on Patrick Street, Cork last Saturday.
This was on the way to the photowalk, walking up the street with Chris to where Will had double parked because he was driving home again. Chris had dropped his camera in the car when he got out!
23 - 100% Cork
A butchers shop in The English Market was all decorated in white and red flags last Saturday. Did Cork have a big game last weekend?
22 - Hurling on the beach
A man leans on a hurley while his son runs after the sliotar (off picture) down the beach at Garrettstown last March.
