If you’ve been to Kinsale you’ll be familiar with the centre of town but behind those businesses are the homes of local residents, stretching up towards the top of the hill. It’s a lovely town, full of history and of course great food, so well worth a visit. 🙂
Mommy Cat, the oldest of our cats passed away yesterday at somewhere around the age of 17. We’re not sure, because she adopted us around 15 years ago. We are sure that she was roaming the estate for some time before that. She had lovely kittens, but only one is left now, Hoppy, who is…
Swallows flew back and forth in a group, known as a murmuration. This was a small one but impressive still!
A crow lifts off from the pole he was standing on, with his wings spread out to glide down.
Another one of a swallow flying near Ballycroneen Beach recently. You’ll recognise the field in the background from a recent photo!
Swallows fly really fast and they’re difficult to photograph in flight, so when I managed to catch this one in flight I had to share both. As I was advised by Rory, I didn’t zoom in which made it easier to catch them crossing the scene. On my Sony camera I set it to wide…
The tracks left behind by a tractor in a field of corn in Ballycroneen, Co Cork.

A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst…
A man takes a break from playing the guitar on Winthrop Street, Cork. It was July 2019, so probably warm and maybe humid, so his bare feet won’t have been cold.
I was walking along the street and noticed this man, standing by the door of a bus. I think it was stopped at traffic lights. Did you notice he’s being watched by another bus driver?
Down by Garrettstown Beach in Co Cork I spotted a horse in a field. He was by himself and I went over to say hi, and take his photo. He’s obviously had enough of people taking his photo, or maybe he ate something unpleasant, to judge by the look on his face. 🙂
