Filed in Blarney, Candid, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Rain, Sigma 18-200, Street, Trees, UrbanLast Sunday a “fun day” was held in the square in Blarney.

The beauty of Burnham Beeches
Filed in Autumn, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Nature, Photography, Photos, Trees, United KingdomWe visited Burnham Beeches last Friday afternoon, on a day when torrential rain was forecast but thankfully the weather forecast was completely wrong.
