Excellent set.


Thank you! More touristy things will no doubt follow.

Is it my imagination or has your avatar changed. I know that I've been a little scarce here of late but I seem to remember a different picture.

Thank you Don, you might recognize certain aspects of the images as they were captured with a D 7100.

I haven't posted much of late, the mood just hasn't been there but revisiting these in the last couple of days produced the urge to share even if they were less than stellar. My philosophy these days is, who doesn't like a free vacation.

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

The little boxes where you can enter bits for the uploads won't big enough for these explanations so here goes.

This set is from Saint Columba's Paris Church in Drumcliffe, County Sligo, Ireland. The final resting place of the Irish poet William Butler Yeats who was born in County Dublin in 1865. He died in Cannes, France in 1939 and was relocated to St. Columba's in 1948

The priest had the gift of Blarney and told us many stories. This one, and yes, I completely blew the timing, involved a tale about God and Spock's Vulcan hand sign (don't ask, but was was completely entertaining).

In the last one is a Highcross purported to be made just after the birth of Christ.

That's awesome! We were seriously thinking about moving until my wife talked to a woman who lives there. Apparently she had an American friend who moved to Ireland and they kept her dogs in quarantine for over a year. We have some older dogs, one of which is a purebred Pomeranian, that wouldn't survive that experience.


We had the same idea. We both retired last year. We lived there for two months prior to retiring. It's great to visit. It's a wonderful place. In the long run, it's not what you are used to. There is a big difference. Health care is one of them.

Thanks for the tip. At our age it’s an important factor.

Thanks Rob, we had such a good in Ireland last year that we are going back again in a couple of weeks. This time we will be taking our Grandson who technically was there last March but with a limited view. 😏

Thanks Bill, now I feel like sharing a few more. Ireland is beautiful and loaded with friendly people. I would recommend it for anyone's bucket list.

Thank you very much for stopping in for a peek. We spent 10 days there last month but the weather much like my photographic inspirations were kind of dark and gloomy. I doubt you will be seeing mich of them.
