The sun has set on 2020 and I finish the year with what is probably my favourite photo of the year. The sun shines through trees heavy with Autumn coloured leaves, not yet touched by the harsh winter winds back in October this year. Photo made in the grounds of Blarney Castle where I expect…

A little Robin spotted in the grounds of Blarney Castle yesterday.

Blarney Lake lies at the far end of the gardens surrounding Blarney Castle but is well worth a visit if you’re in the gardens. I’m not sure how often swans are there but these two curious and friendly birds were there yesterday.

Winter’s here and it was -1C yesterday morning! With clear skies it was nice for a walk as long you were wrapped up well!
