Square Deal
Square Deal Interiors where we bought several items of furniture recently. Absolutely huge showrooms and nice helpful staff. Prices seemed reasonable too, even if they did take a big chunk out of my credit card.
Rain on the River
Rain falls on a river in a town in County Clare while we were stuck in a traffic jam. I used to know what town this was taken in but now it's a mystery. It did have a very distinctive walled off area right in the middle of the river though. Anyone recognise it?
Water rushes in
Waves crash and water rushes in on the rocks at Couminole Beach in County Kerry. Shot almost 2 years ago on Slea Head!
Keeping the Chicks Alive
2 chicks are fed by a parent just outside the window of my home office here in Blarney. The chicks have been there all evening and I just looked out again and they're still there. Unfortunately the neighbour's cat, Patches, saw them too and is keeping a vigil close by. We saw the parent bird...
Matthew Sadler
Footballer Mathew Sadler is immortalised in a playing card, unfortunately discarded on the ground in Youghal, County Cork.
Tribute to Jacko
A stencilled tribute to Michael Jackson on Parnell Bridge near Cork City Hall.
Hurling on the beach
A man leans on a hurley while his son runs after the sliotar (off picture) down the beach at Garrettstown last March.
The Worldwide Photowalkers
41 had signed up but some couldn't make it unfortunately. In the end, a more manageable 23 turned up. Here's most of us as pictured afterwards in The Old Oak bar where we went for drinks and sandwiches. I had a great time today, I think everyone else did too by their reactions. The day...
Sand Crab
A sand crab, moments before it was destroyed by the gleeful swipe of a 2 year old's foot.
Open Happiness
Youghal, last April. Coca Cola sells happiness while Tesco tries to sell bargains. PS. I just posted a gallery of photos from the IBA 09 photowalk last February.
Reliant Robin
A Reliant Robin, as seen in Charlesfort near Kinsale last March. Remember the one on Mr Bean? Wikipedia has more on this diminutive car.
Little Daisies Everywhere
They're not daisies are they? They look like them, but they were for sale in a garden centre and I'm sure they wouldn't be so bold as to offer the common daisy for sale?
