No we are not under water.

Although I’ll bet it’s under snow now.

This is some plantlife – I’m not very good at matters botanical and I hesitate to call it moss in case it isn’t in fact, moss – that was scrambling an existance on one of the outer walls at the Trim Castle complex up to yesterday. I love it. [...]

Washing line – no seriously….

I was supposed to go learning to drive racing cars today. It didn’t happen because of the rain which I exploited to take photographs of this morning. I took this with a macro lens instead.

Model car pile up at the Sprite Speedway…

Okay, so I was bored. I got out the macro and went playing. Theoretically i was going to play with nail varnish but somehow wound up playing with two model Renault Spiders I happen to have lying around. And a couple of candles. I played with fire as well.

I like this. I have absolutely [...]

post-sunset, Carlingford Lough

Myrtleville Co Cork, Ringaskiddy Co Cork

I had a little time to kill today so I went to Myrtleville, Fountainstown and Ringaskiddy this morning/afternoon, not quite sure because it being Sunday, time is nothing.

This is from Myrtleville around lunchtime. In truth I should have gone down there last night night when the tide was high.

and this is the same [...]

Flowers, plenty of them.

One of the bad things about having lost a complete site is that you’ve also lost a load of stuff you’d written about before. I don’t just do kitesurfers, and I don’t just do pinky coloured slow exposures. I do some macro as well.

At some stage earlier during the year I went to the Botanic [...]
