Kinsale in Full Bloom
Kinsale’s tidy towns group must work overtime and they do a fantastic job of keeping the town tidy and colourful. These flowers were in a small boat at the end of the quay and make the area look so pretty.
Cherry Blossoms in Bloom
Cherry blossoms bloom on a tree at the other end of my park every year, but I always forget to bring my camera to photograph it until this afternoon.
Daffodils in February
It’s nice to receive a gift, and when they’re flowers on a February afternoon, all the better.
Red Valerian on the Bridge
On South Gate Bridge last summer, I spotted flowers growing from between the stones of the structure. Google Images says they’re Red Valerian, but I don’t know. They were thriving in their little spot, but I think they’re gone now as the bridge was cleaned in the recent past. Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral is of…
The Chicago Board of Trade
In 2003, there wasn’t much vegetation to see on La Salle Street, but I found it at N 120 La Salle N Street according to Google Maps. The most recent photos on Google Maps show the red flowers are long gone. You’ve probably seen the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) building in movies, such as…
Flowers of the Eiffel Tower

Delicate Orange Roses
Orange roses shine out of the darkness of the night. The delicate petals of the flower showing some damage and the effects of ageing.
Pink Roses
Pink roses stood out against the dark bushes and overgrowth over a wall in Kinsale last summer.
Blue and Purple Wildflowers
In the middle of El Caminito del Rey, north of Malaga in Spain, I found these beautiful flowers growing in the rocky soil.
Surreal Flowers in Dublin
A woman stands next to a display of flowers for sale in Dublin last October. I played with the colours here a little. A bit of fun on an image that was too noisy, and too dark.
The Flower Seller
On Grafton Street, Dublin, you’ll find people selling flowers to passing pedestrians. There are a few of them, so business must be pretty good. Lots of foot traffic in the area, though. Lovely displays of colour too.
Flowers and Aquaduct in Ballydehob
On a beautiful October afternoon in Ballydehob and the last thing I needed to worry about was swans, unlike an unfortunate day in 2004 when they didn’t like me taking their photos.
