Dog-Dog’s Birthday Beach Trip

Dog-Dog just celebrated her 2nd birthday since moving to Ireland from America, and like last year she was in County Wexford for the event. So we went to the beach, where she behaved like any 8-year old would. You’ll probably want to enlarge it to see it properly:

Little Yellow Flower Things

Against light background or dark, with greenflies on them or not, in the rain or the dew, I’ve probably spent too much time looking at these little yellow flower things.

No, I haven’t asked anybody what they’re called.

Photo: An Irish Beach

A photo from a day at the beach on Saturday. This is in Ireland’s sunny south east - in County Wexford - taken at the very point where I finished a 7-mile walk last year with Dog-dog.

Lilies, Yellow

I’m not very good at looking after plants, but I can look at them for very long periods of time. Within days of being told these are lilies I will have forgotten, and again to me they will be big yellowy flowers.

End of the Road in a Dublin Suburb

A summer photo from the suburbs of Dublin West for you. Somebody painted the place while I was in America. In the spring the graffiti goes quite well with the tree blossoms.

Photo: Gooseberries

One of the things I missed about Ireland when living in America, was Gooseberries. Unlike when growing up, these days to get them I don’t have to climb over a wall into somebody’s garden.

Photo: Number 18

A photo of a door I took the other day walking down Dublin’s north quays - I think this was on Upper Ormond Quay.

The Pigeon House From Dublin West

A photo in the suburbs of Dublin West with a glimpse of the Poolbeg chimneys of the power station in Dublin Bay that we call the Pigeon House (even if technically it’s not).

Friends in England and America tend to recognise the Poolbeg chimneys from a certain U2 video.

Ducks on the Liffey

This photo of a couple of mallards on the Liffey was taken beside the entrance to my studio when I popped out for a break from painting.

Teabags on a Window Sill

Here’s a photo from inside my studio. Teabags. You can see the cobbled stableyard through the window.

If it doesn’t seem like that many teabags, well that’s because I use loose leaves a lot for making tea.
