This little doggy was out with his family on the water off Sheep’s Head last July. It looked like they had lots of fun!

A Home Surrendered to Time
An old abandoned house on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in Co. Cork. This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed it. In 2017 it looked much the same, but not quite as overgrown.

Kitte Kat On The Prowl
Kitte Kat stares out from the bushes at us as she contemplates making friends, or enemies. She chose the former and walked out after myself and my dog, Diego. She allowed me to rub her head before wandering off into the garden again at Carbery Guest Lodge on Sheep’s Head, Co Cork.
She was raised by the family dog, Sisken, from an early age and thinks she’s a dog, but sometimes they get confused when she doesn’t run from them!

The Watchful Eye of Sheep’s Head
Several years ago on Sheep’s Head we went for a walk and discovered a lovely horse nearby!
Did you know? Horses have nearly 360-degree vision due to the placement of their eyes on the sides of their heads, allowing them to spot predators from almost any direction without moving their heads.

The walk to the lighthouse
The end of Sheep’s Head in Co Cork and there’s a small lighthouse there.
It’s a bit of a hike to get out there.

Sheep’s Head Sunset
Over the weekend I stayed in a B&B on Sheep’s Head in Co. Cork and of course I had to photograph the sunset from the headland. I shared another photo taken on the same night recently, but I’ve photographed the sunset in this part of the world several times.
I wasn’t expecting much as there were thick clouds on the horizon, but I liked the way the light lit up the cloud, and the foreground bushes added a bit of depth too.
What you’re seeing over there in the distance is the Beara Peninsula. Another beautiful part of the country!
