Ireland is wonderful!

Wonderful pictures, xyz...They bring me back to our month in Ireland in May/June. Wasn't The Shores just grand? And, oh, The Connemara! I am back to having withdrawal pains.

Beautiful photographs, great composition, and brilliant colors. Thank you.

xyz -
These are beautiful pictures! Thank you so much for sharing them.

Enjoyed your pictures (and your trip report, which I have been following as you post). Your close-ups of flowers and wee creatures are wonderful. I also enjoyed seeing some of your B&B's, some of the rooms and eating areas. Great idea to put a map at the beginning.

Thanks for sharing!

xyz,

I agree with all of the above comments. I just went through the whole cycle twice as I enjoyed it so much. A wonderful report and beautiful photo's.

Thanks, Joan

Thank you xyz for sharing your beautiful photos. You captured perfectly everything that is special about Ireland. I traveled in Ireland in 2003 and 2004 and your photos make me want to return. You included in your photos of Kenmare, my favorite Irish restuarant, Packies. I had forgotten the name until I saw that photo. Sounds like you had a wonderful trip.

Your photos are like taking a mini trip through Ireland! Thanks for sharing with everyone!

Thank you all for the kind words. Ireland is such a wonderful place, one of our favorites so far, hope we’ll get there again. There’s still so much to see…

Great pictures. Brings back a lot of memories. Sorry you missed dinner with Annette at the Shores but glad you enjoyed your stay. It's a wonderful experience.
