Hussey’s Folly caught in the light

Hussey’s Folly at the mouth of Dingle Harbour as it was caught by the rays of the sun. This was almost exactly four years ago, at the height of the Covid pandemic.

Apparently, Covid levels are just as high now and the latest strain is quite nasty too. It will always be with us. 🙁

The Cork Pride Flag

One of the (many) highlights of the Cork Pride parade is the massive rainbow flag that accompanies the marchers through the city. It was unfurled on Grand Parade where a jubilant crowd carried it and waved it in preparation for the trip around the city. I noticed a bump in the middle, and saw the reason underneath. 🙂

Bambie Thug at Cork Pride

Bambie Thug holds up the transgender flag on stage.

At the Cork Pride party today, Bambie Thug performed for the crowd, and came on stage proudly waving the transgender flag. The party was great, and the parade was full of energy, colour, smiles and happiness. If you missed it this year, make sure to go next year. It’s a great event!

A face in the crowd on a dull day

It was a chilly March afternoon in Cork. Some were wrapped up tight against the cold, while it didn’t bother others. Look out the window now and enjoy the heat of July!

Daffodils in February

A woman on a bike with daffodils in her hand talks to someone out of the frame. Another woman to the right also has the same flowers in her hand.

It’s nice to receive a gift, and when they’re flowers on a February afternoon, all the better.

From mannequin to human

The Ballycotton Cat

I spotted this feline beauty in Ballycotton a few weeks ago. We’d been shooting the sea and the lighthouse but, of course, my favourite photo is of a cat.

The waterfall of light

It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.
