Check out Jolt++, a new photoblog created by fellow Automatticer Michael Pick. Great photos, and I really like the Tumble theme. I wonder how I’d squeeze my adverts into such a theme? PPS. My brother Donal was featured on the envelope of the first [...]

Filed in Candid, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, People, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Sky, WaterSunshine on the Conor Pass This will probably be the final photo from that September 2006 visit to the Conor Pass.

Dog on the beach
Filed in Animals, Beach, Cork, Garretstown, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 18-200, WaterDog on the beach Oscar ambling along on the beach at Garretstown in Co. Cork. He never liked the beach, there’s just too much dirt and gravel and sand and just plain yuck, but he had a great time that evening. I don’t think Shih-Tzus are the most adventurous of dogs! Compare this picture with [...]
