Postcards from Paradise: Ireland








Today’s the day that the world turns Irish.
So in honor of St. Patrick’s Day,
I’m sharing a bit of the Emerald Isle.




Doolin -- and Irish music in the pubs!

Doonagore Castle, County Clare

A red door traditionally signifies a fully-paid-for house.

Such a happy collection of memories. I have two young friends honeymooning in Ireland right now and making their own happy memories.

Hello Meri

A beautiful uplifting post.

The first image of Doolin brought back memoreis. I recall one night being in Doolin, during the month of June. (There is almost 22 hrs of daylight during this time of year) My family and I were in one of the pubs and there was live music and dancing till 2 am, then the band and dancers took to the streets and we danced half sets and sets till morning. Such fond memories.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Doonagore Castle, County Clare, houses with no address, Giants Causeway, dancing with furry, raw energy, pubs with air so smoke thick I can barely see my companion, sheets of wet, a green more green than emerald, the light, stretches of sand Oregon style, nephews, brother-in-law to be, mad hatters.. Shafts of sun cut through.. You have opened a door to fond me rues from many years past.. Great images! thx.

I knew nothing about the tradition of the red door, but what a lovely tradition it is! Fully paid for!

I loved Doolin and County Clare the best out of all of Ireland.
Cliffs of Mohr too. Wonderfulness blowing in the breeze there.
