Random prettieness. Meaning, I still have pictures and just ran out of creative ways to organize them.

Ruins in Glendalough

Waterfall in Wicklow
Some random forest. Do I need a reason to have a pretty picture of sun lit trees?
Sally Gap in Wicklow
Strange bumps...
and pretty flowers
One tree or many? Killarney National Park.

Town of Dingle as seen from Connor's pass.
The ocean on the Slea Head drive in the Dingle Peninsula.
Hardy plants that have avoided being blow off the rocks. Dingle Peninsula.
Pretty ocean
I like dripping rock walls, and the plants that grown on them. Dingle Peninsula.


The Sleeping Giant. Dingle Peninsula.
Yes, I do like flowers.

The Rock of Cashel and Hore Abby

So on the way back to Dublin from Dingle we stopped at the Rock of Cashel

Instead of going inside the castle, we walked around it, looked down a hill and saw this

we walked a little further and found a path down the hillside . . .

through a sheep pasture

we got to the bottom of the hill and had a nice view

crossed a street and found this
(click the sign to view it larger)

and a gate, and a path with a little company

like this guy

then we got into the ruins of the old abbey


flowers. . .

the sun came out and it was quite pretty

and there was a great view of the Rock of Cashel




I liked the old abbey, cows, sheep and all

eventually we went back to the Rock of Cashel and toured around there

but I still think the Hore abbey was my favorite part of the day

Flowers!





These were some of the most unashamedly pink flowers I've ever seen in my life


They were in the Muckross house garden in Killarney National Park.





Do you perhaps get the feeling I'm partial to flowers?
