Kerry’s Quiet Corner

The bench here at the end of a spit of land near Kenmare, Co Kerry has a plaque that says:

HE NEVER LOOKS FOR PRAISES

HE WAS NEVER ONE TO BOAST

HE JUST GOES ON QUIETLY WORKING

FOR THOSE HE LOVES THE MOST


OUR DAD

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.

A Golden Moment

The wide pavement of McCurtain Street is where I spotted a young woman putting the lead on her patient Golden Retriever. He sat there patiently as she fixed the lead in place and continued on their way down the street.

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. 🙂

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. 🙂

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.
