The horses in the field adjoining Castlemartyr Resort were a curious bunch when Blarney Photography Club visited last week, when they came over to us for a chat and a sniff of our cameras. This one threw all caution to the wind and just kept eating, ignoring me, and enjoying his best life. Rightly so,…
Two buckets are no match for an ephemeral cat in the shadows as it played with the light of the setting sun at Castlemartyr Resort last week. The shadow of the cat is courtesy of the cat statue I posted recently. Again, well worth going down to see them, and for a stroll around the…
I spotted a bike for hire that must have been dumped in the river for quite some time before being returned to the lock area. It was underwater so long that seaweed grew on it and tiny seashells grew on the pedal! I presume it’ll be picked up, and hopefully cleaned up or recycled.

Velda and my Dad, Barra, lost their spouses in the late 90s, at ages that were far too young to be…
Kennedy Quay in Cork in February 2024 before the R&H Hall building was demolished. Look to the right, and you’ll see Albert Quay and the new buildings there. This whole area will look quite different in only a few years.
After the race, the horses slowed down to a trot. Dawstown, this year.
