One of the residents of Annestown on Waterford’s Copper Coast. He was a little disappointed I didn’t have any tasty nibbles 😀

One of my dads photos which I believe was taken in 1954 when members of the 69th New York infantry regiment visited Waterford. The original 69th New York militia were part of Waterford born Thomas Francis Meagher's Irish Brigade in the American civil war.

A snap from yesterday’s hike in Joshua Tree National Park. This is near the Desert Queen mine, one of my favorite spots in the park.

An occasional visitor to our patio. I believe this is a male Ladder-backed Woodpecker but I am open to correction.

The grave of German immigrant Martin Molkenbuhr in Virginia City's Silver Terraces cemetery. Martin was a carpenter and barrel maker who came to Nevada in 1870. His wife Alice Manning was born in my old hometown of Waterford, Ireland in 1846. #virginiacity #nevada #german #irish #silvermining

The serpent at Galeta Meadows just outside Borrego Springs, California. This is one of many sculptures by artist Ricardo Breceda scattered around the area. This one is by far the largest.

The steam dredger Portlairge, built in 1907 by the Dublin Dockyard Company for Waterford's Harbour commissioners. It remained in service until 1980. It now lies rusting on the shore in Bannow Bay near Saltmills, County Wexford. My wife's grandfather was a crew member.
