A Foreign Adventure in Natural History

It will probably come as no surprise that, while in Dublin, I made a point to visit the natural history museum there. It is a gem of a place, still set up like a true Victorian museum. I highly recommend you visit it if you're ever in Ireland.



I was not able to schedule a full-blown photo shoot (we simply weren't there long enough), but I had a wonderful time there, and was able to take a few snapshots, at least!

Can you recommend a natural history museum in your town?

In a Spiritual Light

Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland was built in the thirteenth century, the same era in which the Magna Carta was signed, the crusades were in full force, and the inquisition began.

The building has been beautifully restored and every detail, from the floor tiles to the roof arches. Even with several other tourists joining us inside and a construction crew doing restoration work, there was something peaceful about this lovely church.

Home from our Holiday

Hello all, I apologize for my blogging hiatus but I've just returned from a lovely two-week vacation. My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting friends in the UK and spending a few days in Ireland. There was certainly no shortage of dramatic landscapes to photograph. I'm glad to be home, and to be "plugged back in" so that I can share some of my images with you. I hope you enjoy them!
