Nature’s Art: Fungi Patterns
I spotted this fascinating looking fungus growing out a dead tree trunk last weekend. I’d no idea what kind of fungi they were until an AI identified them as a Polypore. This is a good sign, for that small forest I found them in, just outside Kenmare: Polypores have been used as indicator species of…

The Edge of the Lake
Another one from that walk in Kenmare a few days ago. I spotted this couple walking by with their dog, and then they stopped a distance away with the dog exploring the shallows. I love silhouettes, so this photo came to be. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 125 Shutter speed 1/500s

A bench by the Lake
A small bench is nestled among the trees in Kenmare, on the shores of Kenmare Bay. What caught my eye immediately were the three trees surrounding it. They frame the bench in a pleasing way, the bare branches providing a skeletal, natural, surrounding to the man made bench. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 94mm…

A Kenmare Robin
I spotted this little fella down in Kenmare, County Kerry the other day. A Robin, bold as brass, perched right there on a dead branch, posing like he owned the place. He stayed there for a few minutes surveying the area, and let me get a little closer for a photo. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5…

Kerry’s Quiet Corner
The bench here at the end of a spit of land near Kenmare, Co Kerry has a plaque that says: The pillar has a plaque that has some writing I forgot to photograph, but the heading says, “Ode to Lem” which may be this song. A lovely spot to contemplate the world. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera…

Canine Companion on Castle Street
This cute little terrier saw Diego, my chihuahua, and of course needed to make friends with him. 🙂 Dogs are the best! PS. inb4 complaints. Nobody noticed this was Paul Street! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 17mm ISO 3200 Shutter speed 1/500s

Dog Walkies in the City
I spotted this little character on the streets of Malaga, pulling its owner along with an enthusiasm that only a dog can muster. There were another 2 dogs nearby, so I think that’s what was distracting him. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/3.5 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 28mm ISO 500 Shutter speed 1/500s

A Four-Legged Historian
Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is surrounded by hoarding with text describing the history of the area. But you don’t want to read about that, do you? That cute little doggy is all any of us wants to see. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/2.8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 125 Shutter speed 1/500s

Unexpected Stop on the Slea Head Drive
The Dingle Peninsula is pure magic, isn’t it? Beautiful scenery, wild oceans and if you’re unlucky, a traffic jam caused by a cow walking up the road. Aperture ƒ/9 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length 11mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/125s
