  • Red 6

    The lovely deep red of a house with the number 6 on it's door. Two windows can partially be seen above and to the right of the door.

    No 6 in Kinsale recently. I loved the red colour and the contrasting white/cream door and windows.

  • The Old Bank House of Kinsale

    The top of the Old Bank House and other buildings in Kinsale and the green fields, trees and houses behind.

    The Old Bank House, or Old Bank Townhouse is a 5 star hotel, right at the busiest junction in Kinsale. I’ve walked past there loads of times, drove past there more times, but I never noticed the 5 star designation.

    The Google Maps reviews for this establishment are very positive, although it comes as no surprise that some guests have mentioned the presence of noise.

  • The Green Door

    A green door and a wheelie bin. A No Parking sign on the door and the wheelie bin comes from Country Clean.

    A colour coordinated door and wheelie bin in Kinsale caught my eye.

  • The Homes of Kinsale

    The homes and businesses of Kinsale seen from the hill opposite.

    If you’ve been to Kinsale you’ll be familiar with the centre of town but behind those businesses are the homes of local residents, stretching up towards the top of the hill.

    It’s a lovely town, full of history and of course great food, so well worth a visit. 🙂

  • White Sand and Dunes

    White sand and dunes and blue skies and fluffy clouds

    The white sands of Maghera Beach in Donegal go on and on into the distance. Not many people visiting this beautiful day in 2017 when I was there.

  • The Hills off Inch Beach

    Far away hills lit up by the setting sun with ephemeral waves lapping the shore

    Off Inch Beach in Co Kerry, in August 2015. A lovely sunset casts a glow on the hills opposite. A slow, long exposure blends the waves together.

  • Our Pets

    Diego, a chihuahua, Hoppy and Mommy Cat all in one rare photo

    Mommy Cat, the oldest of our cats passed away yesterday at somewhere around the age of 17. We’re not sure, because she adopted us around 15 years ago. We are sure that she was roaming the estate for some time before that.

    She had lovely kittens, but only one is left now, Hoppy, who is in the centre of the image here.

  • A Swallow Murmuration

    A murmuration of swallows flies past a pole.

    Swallows flew back and forth in a group, known as a murmuration. This was a small one but impressive still!

    Another one of a swallow flying near Ballycroneen Beach recently. You’ll recognise the field in the background from a recent photo!

  • Swallows fly fast!

    Two swallows in the air, one out of focus above a rural landscape with a house in the background and some poles.

    Swallows fly really fast and they’re difficult to photograph in flight, so when I managed to catch this one in flight I had to share both.

    As I was advised by Rory, I didn’t zoom in which made it easier to catch them crossing the scene. On my Sony camera I set it to wide focus and I must have tracking enabled somewhere in the settings because it did a remarkable job of tracking the bird, showing green focus spots moving quickly across the screen!

    This is a heavily cropped image, and it has been cleaned up in Topaz Photo AI.
