Shih Tzu dogs need a lot of grooming and Oscar is no exception. This is him in the snow on Christmas Day last year. Good thing he had all that fur as it was freezing!

Filed in Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, St. Patrick's Day, Street, UrbanI took part in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade here in Blarney today along with my son and wife. We walked with the Community Preschool group and I am utterly amazed at the stamina of young kids! Little 3 and 4 year olds walked around Blarney and still had energy left to play with bubbles [...]

Snowing in Blarney
Filed in Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanIt snowed in Blarney today. First snow of the season fell 2 days ago but was barely a few flakes that fell overnight. Today’s snow covered the area in a blank of white, but thankfully didn’t last too long! Roads are still affected and unfortunately there’s a steep hill coming into my estate.

False dawn of the city
Filed in Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, UrbanAs you may have already guessed, that’s not the dawn. It’s the lights of Cork City (and Blarney) shining and into the sky in a long exposure shot I made last August. I had meant to mention this sooner but 2 weeks ago I was shocked to hear about the death of Debbie Metrustry (@debbiemet), [...]

The Snow Dog
Filed in Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanOscar our Shih Tzu is as comfortable in snow as he is in any other extreme weather. He’d rather be indoors in the warmth! It snowed heavily and steadily today in Blarney. We took Adam out in it after wrapping him up warm and he played with the kids down the road, throwing snow around, [...]

Frosty morning in Blarney
Filed in Black and White, Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanAnother frosty morning in Blarney, County Cork. I’m glad I work from home. The roads are deadly now. Snow fell in Dublin yesterday and the city practically came to a stand still. It hasn’t snowed in Blarney yet but the roads have been bad. We had a Christmas Day adventure when the car didn’t make [...]
