Under the bright June sky, a vibrant Dublin Bus wrapped in the dazzling colors of the rainbow stands proudly at its terminus outside Dublin Ferryport, Terminal 1. This isn’t just any bus—it’s a rolling celebration of Pride 2025, freshly adorned to mark the occasion and spread a message of love and inclusion across the city. Operating on route 53, this double-decker beauty is turning heads as it shuttles passengers to and from the Irish Ferries terminal, a key hub for travelers crossing the Irish Sea. With its bold reds, yellows, greens, and blues, the bus seems to wink at passersby, inviting everyone to join in the festive spirit of Pride Month.
Pride Month 2025 in Ireland is in full swing, with communities nationwide coming together to celebrate diversity and equality. In Dublin, the highlight of the month is the annual Pride March, set to take place later in June. Thousands are expected to fill the streets, waving rainbow flags, dancing to lively music, and cheering for a future where everyone can live authentically. This year’s march promises to be a spectacular affair, with local businesses, organizations, and even public transport like Dublin Bus showing their support in colorful ways. The wrapped bus at Ferryport is just a taste of the joy and solidarity that will radiate through the city during the parade.
Route 53, where this festive bus is making its rounds, is a lifeline for those traveling between Dublin city center and the Irish Ferries terminal at Dublin Port. It’s a practical route, often filled with a mix of commuters, tourists, and ferry passengers, but today it feels a little more magical. As the bus trundles along, its cheerful Pride wrap brings smiles to faces young and old, reminding everyone that love is love, no matter where you’re headed. Whether you’re catching a ferry to Holyhead or just hopping off at Talbot Street, this rainbow ride is a bright spot in the journey—and a perfect symbol of Dublin’s warm embrace during Pride 2025.

I visited Vancouver German Christmas Market last weekend and this is the small nutcracker seen in the market. It is only 5 – 6 inches tall.
This is taken with my Fuji point & shoot. It would be nice of course to have the beautiful music of Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky to accompany with it.

I got a lovely hot chocolate fondue (for free) plus a 25% off meal voucher from these great guys @ Southport's Old Bank Restaurant on Lord Street.
It's not been open that long so this was a great way of advertising while the Christmas Lights Switch-on crowd filled half of Lord Street.

This dynamic image captures the essence of a bustling Christmas market in Barcelona. A street performer dressed in an elaborate Egyptian costume entertains passersby, while a nearby artist displays vibrant, colorful paintings. Shoppers and onlookers explore the festive stalls, exchanging conversation and enjoying the seasonal ambiance. The market is adorned with lights and decorations, reflecting the city's rich cultural tapestry during the holiday season.
Christmas is getting closer and closer, which means lots of Christmas lights, decorations and other ornaments, and lost of baked goodies :-) I've been making decorations for the past few days. This is a paper snowflake. I found the instructions for making these on the Internet and they are simply great! If you have lots of rooms to decorate, these are the perfect ornaments. Depending on the size of the squares used to make each point, the star can turn out pretty big (this one is about 30 cm / 15 inches in diameter). Hang a few around the house and they will fill the rooms with festive spirit :-)
P.S.: I'm sorry if the photo looks a little grainy. It's due to bad lighting, which caused the ISO 800. I just wanted you to see the ornament :-)
