Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanGeese at The Lough feeding on the ground near the water’s edge. Most have their heads down pecking at scraps but one stubbornly kept a look out ..

Filed in Black and White, Canada, Canon 40D, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20Montmorency Falls in Quebec, as seen from the top of the nearby hill. Lots of steps to walk up! PS. In unrelated news, I received the following email from Siobhán Duggan: Hi Donncha, while doing some research on the lough recently I came across your blog regarding a Lough Photography day you organised last year.

A waterfall near where I’m staying in Quebec. To get to here you need to descend about 100m of steep steps but there are frequent observation platforms to observe the waterfall.

Mother Cat
Filed in Animals, Blarney, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200This is Mother Cat. Matriarch of the local cats. Her litter of kittens are growing up and make a daily appearance in our garden. They’re all a little wild though. The kitten’s dad, Patches, was the polar opposite.

The Fields of Slea Head
Filed in Canon 40D, Ireland, Kerry, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Slea HeadThe green fields on Slea Head in County Kerry are home to many sheep and photographers who shoot this place to death. The photographers, not the sheep. With cameras. While I was taking this photo another photographer walked down the slope just out of shot to shoot the beach at Cuminole! Winners of the free [...]
