Mom and Calf
A cow and her calf lying on the grass, enjoying the April sun in a field near Blarney Castle in 2022. So serene.
Mirror of the Sky
The sea became a mirror of the sky near Ballycotton last year when Blarney Photography Club visited.
Reflections of the sky
The sun had just set, and this lovely colour appeared in the sky for a few moments, almost exactly a year ago at Inniscarra.
Ladies Cycling Happily
In what seems like an eternity now, I photographed these ladies cycling along Eastcheap in London in June 2021. Hey, guess it gets you out in the fresh(ish) air and doing exercise before maybe going for a drink, or a lie down (zzzzz, too much exercise), later on.
Heavy Seas on Dingle Streets
Luckily, you’re unlikely to get sea sick just walking along the street in Dingle, even when someone walks past with a gorgeous photo of the sea.
The Captain likes Diet Coke
Wearing a cap that says “Capitan”, and dressed as he is in shorts and then in a warm jumper, I had to photograph him as he stood outside McDonald’s on Daunt Square. I’m not sure what his name is, but I’ve seen him around Cork a few times since taking this photo last year.
No Trolley Problem
Ah, so, what’s the craic with the shopping trolleys in Cork supermarkets, you ask? Well, let me tell ya, they’re as much a part of the shopping experience as the Barry’s Tea in your basket. In Cork, like elsewhere, shopping trolleys are a staple in supermarkets, making the whole shopping experience a bit more manageable….
Sun shines through the pier
The setting sun caught between the supports of Ventura Pier in California.
Flamenco Flair in the Heart of Valencia
Ladies in dramatic and colourful Flamenco dresses, caught in a moment on the street. The men in black are smartly dressed, but they don’t compare to the red, black and white of the dresses!
A cigarette with Lancôme
An unlined, flawless face looks out from a window. Unrealistic expectations of perfection.
Chihuahuas with lights
A man walks his two chihuahuas through the centre of Valencia. The two dogs had flashing lights on them, attracting lots of attention from people walking past. I thought it was risky having two chihuahuas off the lead in a busy city centre, but the two dogs were calm and enjoying the walk.
The Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room
Visiting the Mural Room in the Courthouse of Santa Barbara was a treat I was not expecting. The murals depict the history of the region, sometimes inaccurately, as they include Peter Pan, Robin Hood and Errol Flynn!
