Some of the boats docked at the harbour in Cape Clear, Co Cork. This was in August 2013, the last time I’ve been there, when we walked up and down the hills of the island and enjoyed the sunny day.

The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.

3 small boats tied up against the pier in Dungarvan.

A cow and its calf in a field on the Dingle Peninsula as the sun sets behind them. A beautiful April evening in 2022, when the first signs of Spring were showing.

It was very windy on this day when I walked out the pier. Boats rocked back and forth but the sun was shining and it was a lovely day.

As I walked to the Forty Foot a few days ago, I saw an ominous, dark cloud out at sea. Knowing that it would guarantee it wouldn’t rain, I got my umbrella from the car. It didn’t rain.

The sea became a mirror of the sky near Ballycotton last year when Blarney Photography Club visited.

The sun had just set, and this lovely colour appeared in the sky for a few moments, almost exactly a year ago at Inniscarra.

Lights reflect in a canal in Amsterdam as a bridge is lit up. I love that I caught a passing vehicle going over the bridge too!

When the family is enjoying themselves, leave the buggy close by. A lovely day in Dún Laoghaire when Sandycove was thronged, but people made the most of the day, even if the area was a little rocky.

The Cloghnagash River in Carrignavar (Carraig na bhFear) flows under a bridge at one end of the village and is where I went exploring recently. While June had been cold and somewhat wet, the river wasn’t very high, and I was able to get down near the river itself afterwards to get a few more…

I spotted this gate at the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire yesterday, and then noticed the decommissioned Poolbeg Power station was visible through the bars. There weren’t any swimmers about at this end of the Forty Foot, so I got a few photos of two iconic symbols of Dublin in one scene!
