yesterday when we went to the grocery store we saw this nice dog who seemed to be searching for someone he recognized. Maybe his owner was in the store. I hope he found whoever he was looking for.

Flow: public art that can be seen on Pearse St., Ballina, Co. Mayo.
Artist - Joe Neeson
Official launch: 09June10
the original concept for ‘Flow’ was a celebration of the local salmon, acknowledging the town’s status as Salmon Capital of Ireland. The sculpture consists of two vertical forms based on the form of diving salmon.
If interested, you can read more about it HERE
Instinct: - cast bronze, cast glass, polished stainless steel & glass lens 2x1.2m
Located on the Ballina Riverside walk, Co Mayo
Artist - Rachel Joynthe
Official launch: 20April13
the artist’s concept for the sculpture suggests an enlarged egg and resembles a fishing float, referring to the town’s status of Salmon Capital of Ireland.

the signs, they are a-changin'
Topaz was purchased by the Canadian convenience store group Alimentation Couche-Tard (ACT). Circle K is the global fuel and convenience brand of ACT. This change doesn't affect the SuperValu grocery store just the petro station. This change happened about three weeks ago.
three days after I took the above photo, they changed the signage

saturday critters
this donkey was very tired but curious.
I posted these two photos last year, don't know if you all saw them. We were on a bus passing through Clonmany heading to Buncrana. The bus driver stopped and we watched the show unfold. Eventually the youngsters headed back to their momma. :)
