I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends.
There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the Torc Waterfall side of Muckross House. No other stags nearby, they were all calm and relaxed. I think the stag was slightly worried about the silly humans pointing long lenses at him from some 300m away. He needn’t have worried.
A European Starling plays with a crust of toast in Dún Laoghaire a few weeks ago. This one might even be the same bird I photographed recently, but the local café was open again and so there was food on the menu for the birds. 🙂

I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Joe Healy’s book, Cork In Decades Past, this evening, and what an event it was! Although the official launch came a bit late, as the book has already sold out, but about twenty copies were available on the night. They were all gone by the end of the night. If you want to get a taste of the stunning photos featured in the book, be sure to check out Joe’s Twitter feed, where he shares captivating snapshots regularly.
This book is a delightful journey through the evolving landscape of Cork City since the early 1980s. Both Dan Boyle and Seamus McGrath spoke about their favourite images, adding depth and insight to the evening. My own copy of the book now sits proudly on my desk, boasting a lovely, high-quality finish that’s a pleasure to look at.
The good news? Another printing has been ordered and will be available just in time for Christmas. If you have any connection to Cork at all, this book is a must-have treasure that you won’t want to miss.
In Sandycove Store & Yard a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful afternoon. The sun shone through the open roof, making it a lovely place to stop for a coffee and treat.
On the way back to Cork last night, I left the M8 on an exit near Cashel to stop for a few minutes. We parked by a field and I spotted this tree so, with a beautiful sunset showing the last of its colours, I got a few photos.
As I walked to the Forty Foot a few days ago, I saw an ominous, dark cloud out at sea. Knowing that it would guarantee it wouldn’t rain, I got my umbrella from the car.
Near the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire is a statue with religious carvings on it. For once, Google Maps wasn’t too helpful about what the statue was called.
Hopefully, someone from the area will see this and let me know what it’s called.
A tiny model of Plac Matejki sits at one end of this elegant street in Krakow. In the distance is St. Florian’s Church. Taking a photo of the model is difficult enough, and of course, I didn’t have a macro lens, but I was happy with how it came out.
In the centre sits the Grunwald Monument.
