  • At the end of our journey

    Our last day in Ireland. Steve and I can't remember what Steve was doing, why he was not with me when I was taking this photograph of the door. There were no donkeys in Adare. Regardless I was alone and intrigued,…

  • Farmhouse

    I took this photo through the windshield while we were driving through one of the towns, I think this was Tralee. Most of the towns look just like this, you drive for hours through large stretches of farmland, and th…

  • Connemara

    Niamh (the bride) set it up for us to stay with one of her friends (Liz) instead of in a hotel. I MUCH prefer that because I did not want to be a tourist as much as in and among "real" people, getting to know the cultu…
