A flower or weed? A weed is only a flower in the wrong place, or so I’ve heard. This was taken at Seaside in Florida during the Automattic meetup there in 2010. Beautiful beach there, horrible humidity in September! This will probably be my last post of the year here so happy new year and [...]

A pot of gold in the fields of Kerry
Filed in Canon 40D, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Rain, Sigma 10-20This is my desktop background. I love it! After Inch Strand on the way to Dingle in County Kerry the road gets very narrow and winds through the hills before coming down to sea level again. The picture above should be a familiar scene to anyone who has travelled that road! The day we drove [...]
A lone hydrant sits on the edge of an empty field in Quebec, Canada. Last of the hydrant photos. Are you glad?
Caution! Unprotected High Cliffs
Filed in Bantry, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, SignsA sign at the base of the short hill below the white pillar near Bantry in Co Cork warns of high cliffs.

Ye olde church
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, UrbanThis church in Castletownbere in West Cork looks like it may have seen better days but by the looks of the mowed grass it’s probably still in use. The Canon 40D was delivered today. I could have posted a sample picture but I didn’t have time to shoot anything interesting besides a few snaps of [...]
Field of flowers
Filed in Allihies, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Nature, Photography, Photos, SkyFloods, hailstones, cold. Another typical Irish summer but thankfully it’s nice ad bright here in Blarney. Here’s a shot I took down at Allihies in West Cork back in April. It’d be perfect if the flowers were more in focus but I still love it.

Cork, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sky, TreesPeople come from far and wide to see the beautiful Irish countryside and it’s no wonder. There’s such a wide range of different scenery that you could spend many a day discovering new beauty spots. This was shot near Dunmanway in West Cork. If you look very carefully you can see the wind power generators [...]
