Along the Curraheen River near its entry to the River Lee. When I first saw the bouncing ball – from a distance – I thought it was an otter enjoying the water. I’m wondering if the heron made the same mistake.

My phone told me that the day would be a sunny. It was, for at least a few minutes.

Do I need to get a new phone?

St Mary’s Church in Innishannon was approved by Pope Sixtus IV in 1475. He also gave permission for another church, one which you may have heard of, called the Sistine Chapel, which is in somewhat better repair.

One hillside.
Two buildings.
Two religions.
Do they worship two different creators?
Or same creator in two different ways?

Heron on the Bandon River.

He appeared to be guarding his own patch of river, since other birds would land nearby and immediately take off when they saw him. Some birds would abort their landings and immediately fly away as soon as they noticed him.
