As we all adjust to the new normal of living alongside Covid-19, there are many things we cannot do at the moment.
Around now, photographers would be busy capturing snaps from events like debs and county finals but that has all changed.
However, there are still some events that can take place – exclusively outdoors – that people can enjoy.
Over the last couple of weeks, ‘Bike Week’ has been taking place at locations around the county.
Ratheniska, Durrow and Portlaoise had events with plenty out cycling around their areas.
While on Sunday September 20, there was a Biodiversity Walk and Talk on Abbeyleix Bog, organised by Laois PPN.
It was very well attended as Dr Fiona MacGowan and Chris Uys provided attendees with valuable information.
Photographer Michael Scully was at all four events and you can check out pictures from them below:
