Kitte Kat On The Prowl

Kitte Kat stares out from the bushes at us as she contemplates making friends, or enemies. She chose the former and walked out after myself and my dog, Diego. She allowed me to rub her head before wandering off into the garden again at Carbery Guest Lodge on Sheep’s Head, Co Cork.

She was raised by the family dog, Sisken, from an early age and thinks she’s a dog, but sometimes they get confused when she doesn’t run from them!

A close-up photograph of a black and white cat with striking yellow eyes, partially hidden among dense green foliage and unripe fruit, with dappled sunlight creating a natural camouflage effect.

The Watchful Eye of Sheep’s Head

Several years ago on Sheep’s Head we went for a walk and discovered a lovely horse nearby!

Did you know? Horses have nearly 360-degree vision due to the placement of their eyes on the sides of their heads, allowing them to spot predators from almost any direction without moving their heads.

A Tranquil Irish Harbour

The harbour in Ahakista is a picturesque location on a warm June evening. This photo was made in 2014 when I was on holiday there with my family.

The walk to the lighthouse

The end of Sheep’s Head in Co Cork and there’s a small lighthouse there.

It’s a bit of a hike to get out there.

A small white lighthouse perched on a rugged coastal cliff edge, with red safety railings leading down a narrow path. The rocky cliffs are covered with wild coastal vegetation and colorful wildflowers in yellow and pink hues. The Atlantic Ocean stretches to the horizon, with choppy waters visible below. A utility pole stands on the cliff top. The scene captures the dramatic coastal landscape typical of Ireland's shoreline.

Headed out of the parish on my bike to see Inni-K live at Arundels in Ahakista.

A nice 46km round trip to the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in the mizzle & totally worth it. 📷🚵‍♂️🎹🎤🎸🌧️

Close up of Inni-K at the mic with her violin and bow.

I was in two minds whether to camp on the Sheep’s Head peninsula along the coast. So I took my camping gear in case, but the weather was just meh and not worth the faff on this occasion.

Sometimes you just have to head home.

Inni-K at the mic looking towards us with her guitar. A backdrop by Bee hangs of to her left, a brooding cloud and ocean scene. Three little lamps illuminate a stone wall to her right.

Sheep’s Head Sunset

Over the weekend I stayed in a B&B on Sheep’s Head in Co. Cork and of course I had to photograph the sunset from the headland. I shared another photo taken on the same night recently, but I’ve photographed the sunset in this part of the world several times. A lovely evening for a photo excursion.

A distant sunset with clouds and the sun lighting up the sky. Distant hills are separated from the viewer by water and in the foreground are bushes of green leaves.

I wasn’t expecting much as there were thick clouds on the horizon, but I liked the way the light lit up the cloud, and the foreground bushes added a bit of depth too.

What you’re seeing over there in the distance is the Beara Peninsula. Another beautiful part of the country!

Cows on the rocks near the sea on Sheep’s Head. Looks like one of them is enjoying the view of the water. Nice day for fishing ain’t it!

Light from the cloud

Light pours through a gap in the clouds, illuminating the waters between Sheep's Head and the Beara Peninsula.

O'Neil's is worth the detour to Wanchese, loved walking in and seeing folks trimming fresh catch in the back. It's picnic tables and informal. I had the catch of the day ( #sheepshead ! ) with fries & coleslaw. Their menu is small because they're primarily a seafood market.

Stayed in Avon this trip but saw the Yelp reviews for O'Neil's and couldn't resist. 😋

Sheepshead mushroom out beyond the dog’s yard. Been a while since I saw one here.
