    Along the Marina

    Looking along the Marina in Blackrock on a quiet Friday afternoon. The trees have started to shed their leaves, but the recent rains must be helping. The heatwave in August has passed. I still see plenty of green.

    Five Fingers Strand in Co Donegal on a beautiful July evening in 2018. The sun was setting soon, and the light was barely turning golden, casting shadows on the hills overlooking the water.

    A heron waiting for fish to swim past on the weir in the River Lee.

    While on an outing with Blarney Photography Club to the Lee Fields, we were lucky enough to see a very patient heron attempt to catch his dinner.

    The light was falling, and it cast a lovely warm glow on everything.

    The heron did catch a fish eventually. I was 100m away down river and on hearing a shout looked up and caught a very blurry photo of the bird with the fish in it’s mouth.
