Me on the rather sleep, winding, and claustrophobia-inducing steps inside of Blarney Castle.


Me being a freak in a store. This is an inside joke. Before we left, my brother jokingly said to say hello to Paddy O'Furniture (patio furniture!) while we're in Ireland. Well, we did and took a picture. *g*


Cute, little flowers atop a stone wall.


Me and pretty rock formations along a river.


The Cliffs of Moher.


The Cliffs again.


More of the Cliffs.


Shaggy grass along the edge of the Cliffs.


A cool rock near the Cliffs.


Mom and me near the top of the Cliffs.


Crack flowers! Well, they are flowers that are growing out of cracks in the walls, so I think they are "crack flowers." *g*


A cool pic of a swan.


More crack flowers. *g*


An awesome, gnarly tree and large rock. I think this is my favorite pic I took.


More Ireland fun to come...

The steps leading up to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Look exactly the same. I'm not joking.

o..o I love all those flowers and the grasses! I'll have to dig through books to find out what kind they are. *nerd*

H'mm, okay... After much debate, I'm willing to bet those "crack flowers" are actually some form of ground ivy. I thought at first they may be some kind of phlox, but phlox has five-petaled flowers, not four... But I'll keep looking until I know for sure.

I can't take much of a guess on the flowers by the cliffs. By the terrain, it's probably a flowering weed, like our version of Queen Anne's Lace. I'll keep looking. If I come across something more, I'll let you know!
