Chugging away at Christmas Time
At the SHARE crib on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork earlier this month. Street fundraisers for SHARE were everywhere again this month, and even had tap-and-pay machines to pay by credit card or phone.
The Ferris Wheel through the Crystall Ball
As seen in a previous photo of the Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade in Cork, the crystall ball that Henry brought along was a very useful prop. Here we are at the top of the car park looking down on the big wheel. It surrounds the crystal ball, but the wheel itself can be…
Diego says Merry Christmas!
An old photo of Diego from a few years back when he was dressed up as Santa. He’s used to wearing coats and I think he looks adorable in this one!
Seeing Double
Two for the price of one! The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade has grown a twin! Thanks, Henry, for the inspiration. Here is his double photo.
Lights along the Lee
Lights along the River Lee a couple of weeks ago when I joined Henry and Vivien for some photography. Henry got a fabulous shot of the wheel. I’ll be posting some more shots of this over the next few days.
The Lights of the Samuel Beckett Bridge
The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.

A tractors trail leads off to the end of the field near Kilcrea Friary in Co Cork.
A Tour of Coventry Music Museum

Twelve years ago today, it had snowed heavily in Blarney. I took Oscar out for a walk that morning and brought my camera along because of the snow! I don’t think he really minded the cold, but he was always happy to get home, snow or not!
Hope for Happiness
A man on the streets of Madrid laughs as he grabs a friend’s arm.
The Ferris Wheel after Sunset
The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade in Cork pictured just after sunset, in December 2016. This year the wheel is further up the street so you can’t get this photo now. I haven’t been in town at sunset this month either but hopefully someone got a nice sunset photo of the wheel this year.
My comfortable Pets
First up is Hoppy. She’s around 13 and only has three legs but she’s a fast mover. In the past she didn’t mind the cold but now she likes to avoid it. Here’s Mommy Cat. She’s Hoppy’s mom. She’s around 16 as best we can guess, as she was around for a few years before…
