I was there too
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!

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!

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

She was standing in front of a mannequin, both dressed in dark clothes. Caught my eye.

It’s a cold January afternoon in Cork, while a woman walks past bed clothes in a doorway, and a smiling woman looks on from a shop window poster.

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.

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.

Following on from the black and white fireworks photo yesterday, here are a few more from Spike Island on Saturday night.
The fireworks really are so impressive when seen close up. These photos don’t do them justice at all!

We waited hours for the fireworks on Spike Island yesterday and, of course, I have loads of photos of the event, which will be posted here in due course.
Here’s one photo, done a little differently, but I like the effect the lines of the fireworks in the air made in the air. Removing the colour simplifies them into the little fingers of flame reaching out in a quick instant.

When the family is enjoying themselves, leave the buggy close by. A lovely day in Dún Laoghaire when Sandycove was thronged, but people made the most of the day, even if the area was a little rocky.

The Cloghnagash River in Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear) flows under a bridge at one end of the village and is where I went exploring recently. While June had been cold and somewhat wet, the river wasn’t very high, and I was able to get down near the river itself afterwards to get a few more photos of the older bridge nearby that has 3 arches. A photo or two of that will appear at some stage.
There’s a nice park on the other side of this bridge and a pavement next to the river that was nice to walk along.
