The Lucky Star Bar, Cottage Road, Kilronan, Inishmore Island, County Galway, Ireland. Undoubtedly one of the oldest pubs in Ireland... it has seen better days.
I’m not much of a drinker nowadays (which is one of the reasons why I haven’t posted any booze shots as of late). Anyway, the wife and I was recently on a dinner date, and we had a nice steak dinner. I wasn’t gonna drink anything originally, but wifey wanted to have something with our dinners. She had a pineapple mojito, I had a dry martini, shaken, not stirred (sounds familiar, anyone?). It was delicious, the olives made it just as tasty, I think they used Bombay Sapphire (one of the best gins made) and a (very) dry vermouth. I used to make these religiously back in the day (mostly vodka) , but those days are long gone for me, and I’m cool with that, y’all. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves. And as always, drink responsibly! One last thing, the beverage on the left is a mix of ginger ale and cranberry juice.

This type of wall is most common in southern and western Ireland, where soil is poor and stones plentiful. (This is Dún Aonghasa on Inishmore.) The walls serve two main purposes: forming boundaries and as a place to put rocks that needed to be cleared from farmland. The stonier the land, the more walls you’ll see and the smaller the fields. A dry stone wall is built with a variety of stones and skill and nothing else. It does not need mortar or cement to stand and have structural integrity.

The day lilies are starting to bloom and the lupines are mostly finished and deadheaded. Many bees and a few cabbage butterflies are happily flitting around and the hummingbirds have discovered this new garden location. It is interesting to see how the overall colour scheme of the garden changes as each of the diverse species comes into peak bloom.

The end of an era. This would be the final run of the Road Runner. I can only imagine how life would’ve been had it survived past 1980. Sadly for me, the 1980 Road Runner is the only model that I’m old enough to remember. Between 1975 and 1980, the Road Runner was pretty much on “borrowed time”, despite outlasting most of its contemporaries. I plan to post a video of this on TikTok in the future.
Nope, not Ireland, but we followed this rainbow for about five miles and never got any closer. Nor could I find a decent foreground. And then we found the barn that might hold the proverbial pot o'gold. No such luck.
The trunks of a pair of giant old growth Coastal Douglas-fir trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) stand side by side dominating the landscape in Helliwell Provincial park, Hornby Island, British Columbia. They can grow up to 130 M tall and be over 1000 years old. Note the two little patches of snow on the ground.
