A very unusual visitor to #Musselburgh: 1) Spot the #Spoonbill ... 2) ... there it is ... 3) busy feeding. #birdwatching #birdsfromfaraway #EastLothian: the #nikon900 has a good zoom

Together with its neighbour at 7 George's Quay, this is regarded as one of the finest Georgian houses in Cork #adoorablethursday

The Elfin King in the Witch Corner in the grounds of Abbotsford, Sir Walter Scott's home near Melrose. This display area was inspired by Scott's own interest in folklore #woodensday

What's for dinner? A detail of the mosaic floor of the triclinium of a house in Thessaloniki (250-300 AD). The lack of maritime context in these mosaics suggests to some that the fish are seen here primarily as food #mosaicmonday

St Brendan the Navigator commemorated near his Cathedral in Ardfert in County Kerry, not far from his birth-place in Fenit #stoneworksunday

A very interesting man.

A lovely piece of work.

My apologies. I know that, but I wasn't thinking carefully enough when I wrote it. All places that we greatly enjoyed visiting recently.

A hexagonal "Penfold" style box on display in the Bunratty Folk Park near Limerick in Co.Cork in Ireland. Long a museum piece, as those in use were repainted green after Independence. Perhaps someone can provide more information? #postboxsaturday

Chiron was tutor to the young Achilles. Unlike other centaurs, he was renowned for his intelligence, culture & kindness. In the Iliad, Homer called him "the most wise & just of all the centaurs". In fact he was the original centaur of excellence. #frescofriday from Herculaneum (now in MANaples)
