Araglin Animal Sanctuary Open Day.

I had an awesome day at the Araglin Animal Sanctuary in Cork, Ireland. I’ve been following their Facebook page for a while and seeing the great work they do. So I was really excited to see that they were having an open day as part of the Araglin Town Carnival. I’ll be keeping an eye on their Facebook page for any future open day and I will be back with my camera.

Araglin Animal Sanctuary is has an amazing selection of animals, from goats and ponys, to moles, foxes and my favorite of them all was the Raccoons. The wolves were awesome too and particularly difficult to get a good picture of as they keep moving to the part of the enclosure that was furthest from wherever I was standing.

Well it has been quite some time since I posted on my blog I hope you all liked it, and hopefully I will start to post regularly on here. As always I hope you liked the pictures and feel free to like, comment, share and all that Jazz.

Peace Out.

Blue Team Vs Red Team. A Tale of dragonflies.

Hello again my friends and enemies, the subject of todays post is dragonflies. In the last few weeks I’ve been lucky enough to spot a few of these colourful bastards hanging around the ponds and still waters of Coimbra. They move through the air pretty damn fast so it was difficult to get pictures of them in flight so I just went with the lazy option and waited till they land.

Blue Team.

Red Team:

So let me know what you think of them and feel free to share them with friends and co-workers.

Peace and Love,

Ciaran.

P.S. After a little bit of research I think all the dragonflies in my pictures are male, as males tend to perch on things and watch while the females fly around depositing eggs. And I think the red ones are called Red-Veined Darters and the blue ones are called blue dashers but hopefully an expert can tell me if I’m right or wrong about my research.

P.P.S I just found out that the blue team is actually damselflies not blue dashers. Lesson Learned.

Dog Day Afternoon.

So the other day I was on the train and I saw a poster advertising a Festa dos Animais(Animal Party) in the Parque Muncipal de Oeiras so I decided to go along with my camera. There was a bunch of demonstrations from obedience schools and one from the Air Force, there were stalls selling pet apparatus and stall for adopting stray kittens. People brought along their pets too there was easily around 300 dogs in the park that day, below are pictures of some of the furry friends that I made.
