A Robin in November
A little robin looks off to the left in the grounds of Blarney Castle last November. They’re a friendly bird.
If you want more, take a look at the fabulous robin photos that BathNature is posting and follow them!
I think my Blarney Castle membership expires today. I’m uncertain if I’ll renew it as it’s expensive, and I barely used it at all in the past 12 months.

Chugging away at Christmas Time

The Ferris Wheel through the Crystall Ball
As seen in a previous photo of the Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade in Cork, the crystall ball that Henry brought along was a very useful prop.
Here we are at the top of the car park looking down on the big wheel. It surrounds the crystal ball, but the wheel itself can be seen upside down in the ball.
Now I’m remembering how cold it was that evening and how I wished I’d brought my gloves. Must get fingerless gloves so I can use the camera.
