Holiday season #3


So, this is the third, and probably the last, of my non-memorial posts for this year. We will visit Ireland today.

Ireland known for her "40 shades of green" is a place that benefits from moderately temperate temperatures most of the year and this creates a wonderful climate for many other, non-green plants to thrive.


I was walking along and came across this lovely little boat being repurposed.


Poulnabrone is a Neolithic portal tomb located in the Burren. Here is some info from Wikipedia.:

Poulnabrone dolmen (Poll na BrĂ³n in Irish[2]) is an unusually large dolmen or portal tomb located in the BurrenCounty Clare, Ireland. Situated on one of the most desolate and highest points of the region, it comprises three standing portal stones supporting a heavy horizontal capstone, and dates to the Neolithic period, probably between 4200 BC and 2900 BC. It is the best known and most widely photographed of the approximately 172 dolmens in Ireland.






The Ha' penny (half penny) bridge in Dublin. In the past you would pay a Ha' penny to cross, now it is free to all.


Many of the bars go out of their way to have beautiful hanging plants, this is just one of many I saw while in Dublin and other cities.

Next time, on the 4th, we will return to Vietnam memorials and one in Maryland that will be a little different. so, join me then, at 9:00am to check it out.

To see memorials from any state, please click on the state name on the left side of this page.

Happy New Year to you all!

I will ask, as I do at the end of nearly every post now, for anyone who has pictures of Vietnam memorials not seen here to please send them to me. I will give you full photo credit for the pic and any information about it you may know. Check your state, or anywhere you may have visited, from the list at the left, or any place else. Please send them to the email at the left or directly to me at Ldddad@comcast.net. Thanks!
