When you’re stuck for time state the obvious. Yellow piping found on a back road beyond Crosshaven in Co Cork 9 days ago. That pink bike at the end of the frame was a nice bonus. Hadn’t noticed that when I took the photo! Pancakes have been cooked, flipped and eaten by all and we’re [...]

Filed in Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Paul Street, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Urban, VehiclesA DHL van near Paul Street, Cork provided me with a nice excuse to try out the urban acid plugin again! This has been sitting on my computer for almost 2 years but I only recently worked on it. Glad I did too. Love that red streak coming out of the shadows!

Filed in Candid, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Nature, People, Photos, Sky, Sun, The Lough, UrbanThe Lough Daffodils We walked around The Lough and wandered over to the daffodils growing by the footpath at one of the lake. That’s Sean Murphy in the background as he preps some of his equipment to take a shot. Probably my last photo from the Lough Photowalk!

Daffodil Day
Filed in Blarney, Canon 20D, Canon 50mm f1.8, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Nature, PhotosDaffodil Day Daffodil Day is fast approaching on Friday so I thought a photo of these gorgeous flowers was appropriate.

Doneraile Park Stream
Filed in Canon 20D, Cork, Doneraile, Ireland, Photos, River, Sigma 10-20, Trees, WaterDoneraile Park Stream Water flows through Doneraile Park on a cold November afternoon. Despite the late season, leaves still cling to the branches of nearby trees although they’ve turned golden-orange and make a beautiful covering on the ground. I was quite surprised that the Wikipedia page for Doneraile didn’t mention Elizabeth Aldworth, one of only [...]
