...ahhhh Ireland...




Couple of snaps from around Mayo - top is a wooded path near Cong, middle is the view through a window in Cong Abbey, and bottom are some pebbles on Carrowniskey beach - this stone caused much excitement - my little chicks thought it was gold...

Back with a card hopefully tomorrow - had a go at a sketch this eve - it was not a great success...lol.

Nighty night.

  8. My maiden name is O'Brien so of course I had to visit Ireland with my family....it is just magical. I have traveled a good part of the US and Europe and it is one of the few places that made me want to go back and stay for a good long time....just magical!

  17. Hello Claire,
    I do so love your work and the photos make me want to visit more than ever. I once had a student from Ireland and when he and his family returned for a visit he brought me a stone, exactly like the ones in your photo. I thought of Sean and my Grandfather when I saw the photo. Thanks for sharing your talent and beautiful country.
