A friend remarked earlier this year that he hadn't seen any damselflies yet but out for a walk by the river in Mount Usher Gardens in Wicklow several weeks ago, they were everywhere.

The Exile's Return. From 'The Fighting Irish' show The Exile's Return. From 'The Fighting Irish' show (2012). . Of those who came were Aine Ni Rogail of Cnoc Aine and Ivil of Craglea, the queens of North and South Munster, and Una the queen of Ormond; these, with their hosts, sang upon the summit of the hill welcoming the god. There came the five guardians of Ulster, the fomentors of combat:—Brier Mac Belgan of Dromona Breg, Redg Rotbill from the slopes of Magh-Itar, Tinnel the son of Boclacthna of Slieve Edlicon, Grici of Cruachan-Aigle, a goodly name, and Gulban Glas Mac Grici, whose dun is in the Ben of Gulban. These five, matchless in combat, marched up the hill with their tribes, shouting as they went. From north and south they came, and from east and west, bright and happy beings, a multitude, without fear, without distraction, so that soon the hill was gay with their voices and their noble raiment. From James Stephens. The Crock of Gold. . #fightingirish #bagpipes #irishkerns #crockofgold #jamesstephens #eringobragh #absurdism
"Sister of Light". Long.long before Covid, nurses "Sister of Light". Long.long before Covid, nurses have held a fascination for me. Most of the women in my immediate family are or have been nurses. As a hypochondriac, I couldn't do it myself! I used to accompany my mum on her rounds of her London district, sitting on the child seat on the back of her bicycle in the 1960s. I can even remember a couple of her patients, including an ancient, tiny, bearded lady who was kind and lonely. She lived in a small bomb-damaged Victorian terraced house and seemed to my child's eyes to be hundreds of years old... Available as a mounted open print for €75 at www.McSherryStudio.com . . . #nurse #nurselife #nhs #nhsheroes #districtnurse #hse #nurseartist #nurseart
