I love the waterdrops pictures

 

[Nate Dogg]

Thanks. I've been slacking on taking pictures lately. Got a few good ones yesterday with the sunset and quick moving shower.

very nice work there Nate Dogg. I have to agree with the rain drops love it!

Life in Minnesota....my backyard today I'm not happy about this little snowfall so early in the season. It should be gone by tomorrow, I hope!

When I went to Ireland this past summer, I took over 700 pictures. It was difficult to pare that down to about 125 to post and print. I posted some of my favorites on another thread here. While it is pretty lame to quote myself, this is the easiest way to put them here.

A few of my favorite pictures from the trip to Ireland last summer (nine members of my family went--it was a blast!).

Bunratty Castle (Our flight landed in Shannon at 5:45 a.m. We discovered that nothing in Ireland opens before noon on Sunday.)

The ruins of Cong Abbey

Forest gate at Cong Abbey fisherman's cottage

Slea Head, Dingle Peninsula

My nephew Raleigh surprised us by bringing (and actually wearing!) the kilt that he wears when performing with the "fantasy metal" band he's in, Lorengard.

Part 5

The Rock of Cashel was pretty much the "holy grail" of the trip for me, so I have a ton of pictures taken there. Here are a few.

A storm blew up as we were climbing the hill to the Rock, but was over shortly after we got to the top.

I think this one is my favorite.

Wow! Those makes me want to go!

(It also makes me want to put a Winter Solstice room in my house. COOL!)

Thanks, y'all. I loved the whole trip and would do it all again, just the same. It was a guided bus tour put together by a local travel agent for our local Irish pub, advertised as a "pub tour." So we didn't have to drive or know our way around, just get on the bus and ride. We'd stop at places, and Paddy Martin, our driver and tour guide, would say something like, "Be back at the bus at two-turdy." (Irish for 2:30. heart Flew from Chicago to Shannon, two nights in Galway, two nights in Killarney, two nights in Kinsale, and two nights in Dublin. We Barretts opted out of the city tour of Dublin and arranged our own transportation to Knowth and Newgrange to the 5000-year-old burial mounds.

Go for the solstice room!

Here are some pics from Cavan, Ireland, in a forest park called Dun na Ri, been coming here since I was small, it's so gorgeous.

And these two are from Glendalough, in Wicklow. Just as beautiful, I think.

That lake is amazing, but sooo freezing all the time. It's impossible to get in unfortunately. My dog loves it though.

[Wild__Honey]

Surprisingly none of these ones are in Ireland

These two are in Sorrento, Italy, we were there in May this year

And this one is in Tenerife, off Spain. Well...nearer to Africa, but it's a Spanish Island.

Kinsale and Killarney are gorgeous!! Used to go to Killarney every summer
Newgrange is pretty amazing too, but wouldn't want to get stuck in that little passage way! Bit of a squeeze!
Glad you enjoyed your trip

[MsPurrl]

Beautiful pix, Wild_Honey. We didn't go to Glendalough, but it looks very similar to Lough Corrib at Kylemore Abbey. I just wish we'd had more time!

 

[Wild__Honey]

Yeah it is pretty similar, as long as you get to see one It's hard to fit everything in. Glad you had fun though.

Absolutely beautiful. I'd love to visit there some time.

Absolutely beautiful. I'd love to visit there some time.

It is, I only live a few miles away and it still takes my breath away every time I go there.
