It’s St. Patrick’s Day.
Enough other bloggers, columnists, writers in other media have written about St. Patrick and his day that I will leave it alone.
However, I could not resist sharing this link to 38 exquisite photos of 6 National Parks of Ireland and some of the castles to be found in them.
There is a good mix of mountains and bogs, lakes and seashores, even some with goats one with a horse and another, cattle.
All of breathtaking scenery.
If you look really hard, you might spot a leprechaun.
Enjoy them and think of Ireland.

What a beautiful photo essay any time of the year. I have been to eleven countries (some two times) in my life; but some how never made it to Ireland. I can tell I have missed a lot. It is both ruggedly handsome and gently beautiful. I was especially taken by Glenveagh National Park. Could see a hint of Sweden’s and/or Norway’s fiords in those pictures.
Thanks for introducing me to such a lovely country.
Neither have I been fortunate enough to visit Ireland. Part of the Eastern Highlands of Rhodesia were very similar to Ireland, one even named “Little Connemara”.
