Storm clouds rolled in as I tried to shoot the sunset from Sheep’s Head. The sun had already dipped by this time and I was rushing to get a few photos before the rain came. Luckily there was time but ominous clouds were overhead as I ran back to the car at the last minute!

I was photographing a paddle boarder off Fountainstown Beach this evening when suddenly a ship sailed into the viewfinder. It’s the LÉ Samuel Beckett sailing into Cork Harbour at a quick pace. She crossed the distance visible from the beach quickly but I’m glad I got a few photos of her!

An early morning drive to the Lakes of Killarney this morning resulted in an eventful trip for Blarney Photography Club today. Rain didn’t spoil the sunrise, but a trip afterwards to the Gap of Dunloe didn’t go so well with a literal storm blowing up between the hills. The photo above is from Dinis Cottage…

Two swans swimming on the Lee by the Lee Fields this evening.

Sunset a few days ago was lovely as we walked around Blarney.

Two crows on the top of Berwick Fountain on the Grand Parade, Cork.

One of the lovely ponies who lives at Carbery Cottage Guest Lodge, a wonderful B&B on Sheep’s Head. It’s dog friendly so you can bring your best friend too!

The starry sky photographed in the darkness of Sheep’s Head, Co Cork last weekend. In between rain and storms I captured a few shots of our celestial neighbours.

St. Matthew’s Church and Graveyard overlooking Crosshaven and Church Bay in East Cork. Last Thursday night with Blarney Photography Club.

On an island in Gougane Barra, just as the sun broke over the horizon behind me. Yesterday was the feast day of St. Finbarr. More to be found in this fascinating blog post.
