What with an international flight, jet lag, a head cold, and a wedding, this past week has not been good for blogging.
Here, instead, are some scenes of Ireland that give an idea of its charms over-and-above green rolling hills. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Poisoned Glen, Co. Donegal
Gap of Mamore
Malin Head, northernmost point in Ireland
Letterkenny streets and the ubiquitous whin
Inch Wildfowl Reserve

Spectacular photos! Incredible pastoral settings.
I have not been to Ireland. I have been in England, Scotland and Wales but not Ireland.
Enjoy!

Tom – Many thanks. I, on the other hand, have not been to Wales. Not yet. 🙂
Dunfanaghy? Marble Hill? Muckish? Lough Swilly? My Irish relatives had a cottage somewhere along there. She was from Canada, before she married into the clan, so she called the cottage Muskoka. I have happy memories of bathing in the waters of Lough Swilly when the tide came sweeping in over the sun-soaked sands and warmed the water enough to make the North Atlantic tolerable!

Jim T – Yes, that water would want some warming! Glad to remind you of your youth.
Ahhhh, I enjoyed a quick taste of the country. I fond remember my week there in 2018 with the choir tour.
Judith – And may there be more such trips to come.
When Mom and I toured Ireland (along with the remainder of the Isles) what I came away with was a new and different definition of the colour green. I hadn’t observed greens like that before or since. Annual rainfall may have had some influence. Beautiful photos Isabel, I expect nothing less from you.
Ken – 🙂 Glad to provoke such good memories. And thanks!
Wales countryside is a watercolour needing a frame — anywhere to look. Suspect Ireland is like that. Lucky Isabel to be there. It is still April here in Canada — that 3-month month… 😀 (But I’ve endured worse.)
Barbara – “A watercolour needing a frame.” Yes, that captures it pretty (hah) well.
