As a trained artist, I could never figure out the techniques that Klee used to achieve his layered transparency effects in his watercolours- they're endlessly enthralling.

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like

(Turn on the sound) The Atlantic Ocean, as seen from Garryvoe Beach, Co. Cork, Ireland, last week. ( I've left instructions for my ashes to be scattered on the water here, when my time finally comes.)

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls. Why is nobody talking about this anymore? These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

Sooo... my daughter was brushing Tommy (a VERY hairy cat) and she put the fur on his head, like a toupee .... now he looks like he's going to invade Iran! 😟 #blueskycats

"Lá le Bríd" St. Bridget's day in Ireland 🇮🇪-a rare sunny day and I took the motorbike out for a spin to the seaside town of Cobh for brunch at Seasalt restaurant (kimchi fried eggs !) then a walk along the promenade where families were relaxing in the moment.

It seems that Oct 18th was "National Harp Day " in Ireland. It's our national symbol and it's on our Passport. I was lucky to catch a snippet of this concert in The Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda on that day. This talented young harpist is Jennifer Leahy. #harp #irishharp

I'm just an ignorant European but humour me. If most people in a country are "centrist" politically and the rest are "left' and "right", then where is the Centrist party in the US ? People say Republicans are right wing and Democrats are left wing- Who caters for the Center (your spelling ) voters?

Large Pride parade 🏳️‍🌈 in Cork City. Great to see people celebrating their diversity and gender acceptance in Ireland. We’ve come a long way from the dominance of repressive religion.
