Closed due to flooding
Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork was flooded on October 21st last. The playground was completely off limits as water rolled off from the surrounding landscape. The pond had burst its banks and flooded the surrounding path. Seagulls were the only ones enjoying the scene. We’re going to see a lot more flooding around Cork in the…
Castlerosse Park Resort Cottage
Situated at the edge of the woods behind the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course is this small cottage. We walked by it a few weeks ago when we were in the area to photograph the rutting. There was a car parked directly outside, so it’s occupied, but it’s so solitary and in a secluded area,…
Painting a Malaga Mural
I spotted this mural being painted in Malaga a few weeks ago. A few people gathered around to watch.

Flooding in Fitzgerald Park
Fitzgerald Park in Cork City is a bit flooded after the recent rain. The children’s play area is totally flooded, as it’s lower than the surrounding ground, and the pond is overflowing onto the surrounding path. They were waiting for the River Lee to overflow about an hour later!

Curious Cows
Blarney is surrounded by fields, and up a country road from where I live you’ll find farm animals in the fields. It’s mostly cows, and when I approached a gate of one such field, the curious cows came over to watch this strange human on a bicycle.
Curves and Colours
A few months ago the Counting House on South Main Street, Cork, was opened to the public for a day. Upstairs was an art exhibit, including this one.
Our Pets
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…
Prepping for a 70th birthday
Two women carrying balloons and a large fake champagne bottle up the steps of a narrow lane. Bet they had a party that night!
