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.

Canine Companion on Castle Street

This cute little terrier saw Diego, my chihuahua, and of course needed to make friends with him. 🙂

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.

A Slice of Life in Bantry

We visited Bantry recently, on Valentines Day, and the town was buzzing. The square was taken over by the market, which is always worth a wander around. As we ate our burritos, I spotted the sun hitting the street nearby, leaving one side in shadow, and also illuminating the countryside rising up out of the background.

It’s a busy scene, and the van in the foreground is distracting, but that’s life. Everything’s messy, and then we went for coffee and scones in the community café. Yum. 🙂
