Peter Cox: People’s Photography 2009, New Article

§ July 31st, 2009

I'm delighted to announce that I'll once again be exhibiting my prints at this year's People's Photography in Dublin. Taking place on St. Stephen's Green on the 29th and 30th of August, this is an open air exhibition of photography. It's a great opportunity to meet photographers and to see a broad variety of work. I don't have my space assignment yet, but I'll be posting again once I have that news. See you there! I've also just published a new article about an image I made recently in Mayo: Dún Briste - The Story Behind the Image.

Grannymar: What is it?

§ July 31st, 2009

I passed this shrub yesterday and once again I wondered what it was called.

The leaves are shaped like holly, yet in high summer it produces a mass of colour with trumpet shaped flowers.  It is the only bush like it that I have ever seen and the householder was unable to give me a name for it.

Magpie!  Are you familiar with it?

UPDATE: Through the wonderful world of blogging friends we didn’t have to wait long!  Desfontainea spinosa is your answer.  Thank you Nelly and please pass on a great big hug to Bert the sleepy clarinet playing horticulturist for his wisdom!  Now give that man another slice of cake!
