Red Moon and the tree
A blood red moon captured as it rose above the hills near Roche’s Point Lighthouse last night while on an outing with members of Blarney Photography Club.
Gougane Barra at Sunrise
Gougane Barra, where the River Lee rises and the location of a monastery Saint Finbarr built in the 6th century. A modern chapel, called St Finbarr’s Oratory dates back to 1903. The image above is a HDR panorama of 9 photos merged together in Lightroom and is a result of a very early visit with…
Just the Moon
The Moon, as it was last night. It looks much the same tonight too!
The Cat in the Ditch
Spotted this little guy in the ditch behind my home a few days ago. Handsome fella but nervous of humans. He hid when my neighbour walked past!

The Mother of our Cats
Mommy Cat, a now elderly cat who has lived with us for over 12 years now, is a semi wild cat who brought her kittens to us many years ago. There were six cats altogether. Three boys, a girl and their mother. She has never let us rub her, unless we get a sneaky rub…

Ballycanneen Sunset
I was late getting to Dooneen Pier this particular evening so I pulled over and took photos from where I stopped. A couple of nice photos came from this evening. They’ll appear here over the next few months. 🙂 HDR image was made in Affinity Photo. It did a much better job than Lightroom. I…

Thyme Out Café & Delicatessen (Google Maps) is in a lovely old building serving vegetarian and vegan food. Brenda makes an amazing breakfast burrito, and her delux baguette is delicious! Yes, of…
