The October ’24 Aurora
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the…
A Busker in February
On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.
The Sherkin Boat
If you walk over to Cow Strand on Sherkin Island, you’ll come across this boat, maybe. At least in 2015 you would have. It might be gone by now. Take a look at Google Maps. I think that’s this boat.
The Llafranc Cat
When I was collecting the keys to our apartment near Llafranc in Spain a few years ago, I was being carefully watched by a feline guard. No doubt waiting for treats.
Horses on Sherkin Island
We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I’d seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again.
A Stag and his hinds
I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends. There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the…
The movement of sunset
On a day when there’s a storm blowing outside and the sky is a white sheet covering the land, I like to look at the beautiful colours of the sunset.
For a crust
A European Starling plays with a crust of toast in Dún Laoghaire a few weeks ago. This one might even be the same bird I photographed recently, but the local café was open again and so there was food on the menu for the birds. 🙂
Recycling Cardboard
Someone struggles with a trolley full of cardboard. It looks like it may be about to fall over!
A bovine family by the sea
A cow and its calf in a field on the Dingle Peninsula as the sun sets behind them. A beautiful April evening in 2022, when the first signs of Spring were showing.
Brian May in the Spotlight
Queen + Adam Lambert played in the O2 in London as part of their 2022 Rhapsody Tour, and I was there in the middle of June. I love Queen’s music. I wanted to go see them for a long time but left it late to book tickets for one of their London shows. The only…
