  2. Good morning. 🦆🪿🦢

    5 June 2026

    I’m sleepy — just being honest. I could go right back to bed. I keep closing my eyes mid‑sentence. When I was working, there were times I’d nod off while typing and wake up to a long string of random characters on the screen. That’s exactly how I feel right now. Probably time to swallow a good gulp of coffee.

    Hmm… “Gulp of Coffee.” I wonder if that would work as a new name for the Gulf of Mexico. Coffee cultivation is mostly south of the gulf, so maybe it fits. I can almost hear someone saying, “The fleet sails on the Gulp of Coffee.” I’m just throwing it out there — imaginary names for the Gulf of Mexico seem to be all the rage these days.

    My first cup of coffee is almost gone now, and I’m finally starting to become alert. It reminds me of some of the truly horrid, stupid, silly jokes I heard in the Army — the kind that, for reasons still unknown to me, actually got a laugh. Jokes like, “What is a lert? Is it a small furry animal?” Ridiculous, I know. It doesn’t even come close to being a logical, well‑crafted joke. More like something a kid would come up with. It all came from “alerts” being those big periodic events where units get recalled.

    And here’s another one: “What kind of animal is a Nauga?” You know — the creature that supposedly provides “nauga hide.” It was a play on Naugahyde, that vinyl‑coated artificial leather that was popular in the 20th century. Like I said, a lot of our jokes were painfully lame, but somehow we still found them hilarious.

    And bingo — just like that, I hit my character quota for the morning.

  4. The leaves on the trees in our park are a fair bit later to appear than those of trees further south, but it does allow for some quite nice silhouettes.

    A stroll with the kids yesterday evening.

  5. Yesterday #morning, the #Predawn #sky on the #EasternHorizon was very colourful and so I took these #photographs, with prominent #Pink, #Orange and a bit of #Grey in front of the #Blue. The #silhouettes of #trees and #buildings adds some dark contrast to the #foreground.

  6. Sunset Fishing at Ballycotton Pier

    A series of photos showing men fishing off the pier at Ballycotton, Co Cork a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful evening. Lovely time to be there.

  7. Growing Up by the Sea in Cork

    It was a lovely evening in Ballycotton last Thursday, and a group of teenagers were making the most of it, jumping off the pier into the water and enjoying life.

  8. Purple Skies Over Ballycotton

    I was in Ballycotton last night on an outing with Blarney Photography Club. Our summer outings are a highlight of the year and always a nice social event for all involved.

    When we got there, it was a nice evening, and I hoped there would be a nice sunset, and there was, but after the sun set, the sky lit up in a spectacular way. Fishermen were nearby, providing a nice silhouette for my photo.

    We had hoped to photograph the Moon as it rose beyond the lighthouse there, but a thick band of cloud prevented us from seeing it until it was far off to the side. Maybe another day.
