It’s nice to receive a gift, and when they’re flowers on a February afternoon, all the better.

From mannequin to human
She was standing in front of a mannequin, both dressed in dark clothes. Caught my eye.

From bed to shop
It’s a cold January afternoon in Cork, while a woman walks past bed clothes in a doorway, and a smiling woman looks on from a shop window poster.

The Ballycotton Cat
I spotted this feline beauty in Ballycotton a few weeks ago. We’d been shooting the sea and the lighthouse but, of course, my favourite photo is of a cat.

The waterfall of light
It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.

Spike Island Fireworks 2024
Following on from the black and white fireworks photo yesterday, here are a few more from Spike Island on Saturday night.
The fireworks really are so impressive when seen close up. These photos don’t do them justice at all!

Fireworks Lacking Colour
We waited hours for the fireworks on Spike Island yesterday and, of course, I have loads of photos of the event, which will be posted here in due course.
Here’s one photo, done a little differently, but I like the effect the lines of the fireworks in the air made in the air. Removing the colour simplifies them into the little fingers of flame reaching out in a quick instant.

Bridge over little water
The Cloghnagash River in Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear) flows under a bridge at one end of the village and is where I went exploring recently. While June had been cold and somewhat wet, the river wasn’t very high, and I was able to get down near the river itself afterwards to get a few more photos of the older bridge nearby that has 3 arches. A photo or two of that will appear at some stage.
There’s a nice park on the other side of this bridge and a pavement next to the river that was nice to walk along.

The look of a cat
Hoppy, curled up and asleep one afternoon, looks over at me in curiosity. No, I didn’t have any treats. Back to sleep she goes.

Hang on in there
Far above the waterfall at Mullinhassig, I found small shoots and leaves growing out of a tree trunk.
