  1. A couple of kilometres out on a kayak.
    Not alone.
    Behind me, across the bay, seal song sounded out from the caves.

    Not for the first time, from somewhere a butterfly fluttered by, heading towards the shore. For what seems an impossible adventure.

  6. The Photographer and the Cliff

    The cliff below the Baltimore Beacon drops a long way, and the only way to show that was to put a person at the top of the frame. Luckily, a fellow photographer was busy doing the same thing I was doing. I walked over afterwards and spoke to him and his wife. They are Swi...

Luckily, a fellow photographer was busy doing the same thing I was doing. I walked over afterwards and spoke to him and his wife. They are Swiss, over on holiday in a camper van. He had the tripod set up right on the edge with the camera low down to capture the heather and gorse flowering along the lip. I never got his contact details, so if that is you, or you […]

  16. The Stones Arches of Ballydehob

    The tide was full, and the water had gone completely flat, so the stone arches came out twice in the frame. We were lucky. The weather back home in Blarney was atrocious, with rain falling from cloudy skies....

  19. Feeder traffic at Carbery Cottage

  20. Feeder traffic at Carbery Cottage

    The feeder at Carbery Cottage Guest Lodge on the Sheep's Head is inside a rusted steel cage, so I couldn't get a single photo without bars in it. It also stops crows and larger birds getting at the food! The great tits were juveniles, still yellow in the cheek and a bit ragged about the head, and they spent more time hanging off the wire than actually feeding. One of the sparrows had a crumb of seed stuck to its beak. The goldfinch was the only bird with any real colour on it, red face, […]

  21. The Reflection and the Real

    The poster girl gets the beach, the dunes, the perfect light and a 30% discount; the actual shopper gets a footpath, a purple handbag and a too-warm day in the town....

    Lots of birthday shenanigans kicking around the house that night. 🥳

  24. Rocks in the Misty Surf of West Cork

    The restless Atlantic waves become ghostly veils of white mist caressing the rocks on Owenahincha Beach, Co Cork.

    Henry shared a photo of this same rock yesterday. There are lovely swirls of water in his photo.

  25. Am Strand habe ich nach dem Sturm 2 unterschiedlich große Münzen gefunden. Kupferfarben, scheint mir, aber Eisen(?)-verkrustet.
    Wie entferne ich die Verkrustungen am besten? Die Bürste brachte nicht viel. Rostentferner?🤔

    °°°
    I found 2 coins of different sizes on the beach. Copper-coloured, it seems to me, but encrusted with iron(?). What is the best way to remove the encrustations? A brush didn't do much. Rust remover?

    Garrettstown/garrylucas today. Great generosity shown by the friendly couple owners.

  27. Lough Hyne was probably a freshwater lake until about four millennia ago (2000 BC, during the Atlantic Bronze Age), when rising sea levels flooded it with saline ocean water
