A Photo a Week Challenge: Vacation Memories
Our honeymoon was in Ireland and that was definitely our most memorable vacation. But I don’t have much in the way of pictures from those weeks on the Emerald Isle … and it really is emerald. It was the greenest place I’ve ever been. Everything was green. The grass seemed greener. The fields were brilliant and we saw a rainbow every morning.

My memories of Ireland were the many different colours of green.

Mine too. And such a rich, deep green, too — with morning rainbows.

You have beautiful colours here. And that sun bursts are just lovely.

Route 98 goes due east/west. East is blocked by trees and anyway, we are rarely driving anywhere at dawn. But coming home in the evening, the sun is directly in your eyes. You might as well get out of the car and take pictures because you can’t see anything properly. The way the sun shines through the trees really is spectacular. Sometimes, I have trouble believing I really LIVE there.

Such a magical time of the day and wonderful place, Marilyn.

Thank you. I always think I need to point out that being in the right place — with a camera — is what makes the magic.

I think Ireland contains every shade of green distributed throughout the country. I found it also contained some of the friendliest people, well versed in poetry and drama. Maybe because I’m half Irish I was prejudiced, but I don’t think so. I found the British to be open and helpful to a befuddled tourist as well.

The only nasty person we met was a “fellow” American. The Irish were a great bunch of people. They have issues about which we talked, but overall, they seemed happy. It’s hard to tell as a guest, but there was a lot less whining and complaining than over here. And OH so green!
