A LEGO shop opened on Grafton Street, Dublin, this year. I saw queues outside it as kids and harassed parents waited to get in.

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.

Oscar in the snow
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!

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.

Get Tsingtao Beer in San Francisco!
Walking down a street in San Francisco and this sign for Tsingtao Beer caught my eye.
This was taken in 2007, during an Automattic meetup, which later became known as a Grand Meetup. In 2007, the company was so small, it wasn’t so Grand, but it was Great!
