  • Red Valerian on the Bridge

    On South Gate Bridge last summer, I spotted flowers growing from between the stones of the structure. Google Images says they’re Red Valerian, but I don’t know. They were thriving in their little spot, but I think they’re gone now as the bridge was cleaned in the recent past. Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral is of…

  • Hungry Horse

    The horses in the field adjoining Castlemartyr Resort were a curious bunch when Blarney Photography Club visited last week, when they came over to us for a chat and a sniff of our cameras. This one threw all caution to the wind and just kept eating, ignoring me, and enjoying his best life. Rightly so,…

  • A cat in the shadows

    Two buckets are no match for an ephemeral cat in the shadows as it played with the light of the setting sun at Castlemartyr Resort last week. The shadow of the cat is courtesy of the cat statue I posted recently. Again, well worth going down to see them, and for a stroll around the…

  • The seaweed bicycle

    I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal! I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled. Aperture…

  • A cat on the roof

    Hey! There’s a cat on the roof! Just one of the statues displayed at the Art+Soul exhibition in the Castlemartyr Resort was one of a cat standing on a large key. I thought it might be nice to see if the cat can stand on the roof of the hotel. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3…

  • The Castlemartyr Resort Waterfall

    When you visit the Castlemartyr Resort in Co. Cork, you cannot miss the waterfall in the river next to the entrance road. It’s a beautiful spot and well worth visiting! Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 101mm ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/60s

  • At the Olympics

    The Panathenaic Stadium was not very crowded when we visited, but I immediately noticed a small group of young people taking photos of each other and added them to a photo of my own. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 208mm ISO 640 Shutter speed 1/1000s

  • Precious Things

    Sometimes you’re just minding the precious things in life, like a handbag for someone special. Aperture ƒ/1.7 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length 6.3mm ISO 800 Shutter speed 1/1500s

  • Stuck in their own moment

    A moped rider, a shopper with a bag and two people looking in a shop window all in their own worlds together on the street. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 29mm ISO 250 Shutter speed 1/500s

  • Excited for a walk

    A woman walks her dog on a street in Amsterdam. The little doggy is so excited. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/500s

  • Dressed for a party

    When I walked past this little dog and snapped a photo of him with my phone, I didn’t realise I was photographing a celebrity dog. Thanks to Google Images, I found out the dog is Ali the Rasta Dog on Instagram. I’m not a fan of dressing dogs up in clothes, unless it’s cold out,…

  • The Ginger Guardian needs a rest

    Being a guardian of the alley is tiring work and when they can, the guardians take a break. The lovely ginger cat I photographed in yesterday’s post jumped into this flower bed/shrubbery to rest and didn’t object when I took his photo. Aperture ƒ/1.7 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length 6.3mm ISO 20 Shutter speed…
