De Barra’s masks

De Barra’s Pub in Clonakilty is a lovely atmospheric pub we visited a few weeks ago. Tucked into a corner, we ate our soup and relaxed as the cold rain and wind blew outside!
There’s lots of stuff hanging on the walls, and this is only a small flavour of the rich decoration.

Red Sky At Night

Red sky after a beautiful sunset in Garrettstown last Sunday.
The original high-res version is even better!

Bird on Ground

What kind of bird is this? Around a dozen congregate around our bird feeders, dive to the ground and bath in the bowl of water below, and even fight over how gets to have a bath or a feed sometimes!

Chatting and Shopping

This is one of the US photos I forgot to post!

Us on the tower

Painted with the light of a torch on a round tower in a local church yard late at night. If you look carefully you can even see stars in the sky! This page has some information about that tower:

The round tower in Waterloo (approx. 1 mile from Blarney) … … was built in the 1800’s by Fr. Matt Horgan, the then parish priest of Blarney.
