Waders Descend on Harper’s Island
It was my first time visiting Harper’s Island and unfortunately no birds came anywhere near any of the hides, but I loved to see flocks of birds swoop through the air in synchronised flight.
Winter Light on a Forgotten Home
Nature is starting to take over this abandoned farmhouse on Harper’s Island in Co Cork.
The old stone gateposts are still standing, the wire fence still technically there, but it’s clear nobody’s coming through that gate anymore. Places like this always make me wonder about the people who lived here: the dinners cooked, the fires lit, the boots left by the door. Now it’s just the tree, the wind, and the slow quiet process of a building becoming part of the landscape again.
Tonight, I saw Jennifer Willis give a talk tonight at Blarney Photography Club. She’s an engaging speaker, with great photos and emotional stories.
