It’s so unusual to see a dog in Cork City, but then I saw this beautiful Border Collie. His attention on something off-camera.

Nature’s Art: Fungi Patterns
2025, bracket fungi, decay, fungus, Ireland, Kenmare, Kerry, nature photography, organic growth, Photo, Photography, Sony A7RV, texture, tree trunk, woodland
I spotted this fascinating looking fungus growing out a dead tree trunk last weekend. I’d no idea what kind of fungi they were until an AI identified them as a Polypore.
This is a good sign, for that small forest I found them in, just outside Kenmare:
Polypores have been used as indicator species of healthy natural forests or old-growth forests in Europe. They are good indicators of invertebrate diversity on dead wood and include many endangered species. Polypores make good indicators because they are relatively easy to find – many species produce conspicuous and long-lasting fruiting bodies – and because they can be identified in the field.

The Edge of the Lake

Another one from that walk in Kenmare a few days ago. I spotted this couple walking by with their dog, and then they stopped a distance away with the dog exploring the shallows. I love silhouettes, so this photo came to be.

A bench by the Lake
2025, Black and White, Ireland, Irish landscape, Kenmare, Kerry, lake, Landscape, Nature, Photo, Photography, Sony A7RV, Trees
A small bench is nestled among the trees in Kenmare, on the shores of Kenmare Bay. What caught my eye immediately were the three trees surrounding it. They frame the bench in a pleasing way, the bare branches providing a skeletal, natural, surrounding to the man made bench.

A Kenmare Robin

I spotted this little fella down in Kenmare, County Kerry the other day. A Robin, bold as brass, perched right there on a dead branch, posing like he owned the place.
He stayed there for a few minutes surveying the area, and let me get a little closer for a photo.

Kerry’s Quiet Corner
2025, bench, Black and White, clouds, Ireland, Irish landscape, Kenmare, Kerry, lake, Landscape, Photo, Photography, Sony A7RV, tree
The bench here at the end of a spit of land near Kenmare, Co Kerry has a plaque that says:
HE NEVER LOOKS FOR PRAISES
HE WAS NEVER ONE TO BOAST
HE JUST GOES ON QUIETLY WORKING
FOR THOSE HE LOVES THE MOST
OUR DAD
The pillar has a plaque that has some writing I forgot to photograph, but the heading says, “Ode to Lem” which may be this song.
A lovely spot to contemplate the world.

A Golden Moment

The wide pavement of McCurtain Street is where I spotted a young woman putting the lead on her patient Golden Retriever. He sat there patiently as she fixed the lead in place and continued on their way down the street.

I think there might have been something special in that paper bag and that husky wanted it. 🙂

This cute little terrier saw Diego, my chihuahua, and of course needed to make friends with him. 🙂
Dogs are the best!

Dog Walkies in the City

I spotted this little character on the streets of Malaga, pulling its owner along with an enthusiasm that only a dog can muster. There were another 2 dogs nearby, so I think that’s what was distracting him. 🙂

Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is surrounded by hoarding with text describing the history of the area. But you don’t want to read about that, do you? That cute little doggy is all any of us wants to see. 🙂
