Flowers
Weekly Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny!
From Inishmore, Aran Islands.
When I’m taking pictures, the thing most likely to catch my eye is a pretty flower! Ireland has the most gorgeous flower boxes and baskets everywhere, outside homes and businesses, or just on the street. This particular one I found outside a restaurant on Inishmore when we came down from Dun Aonghasa (Dun Aengus) for lunch. I loved the bright colors against the white wall. I also loved the multiple shades of lobelia hanging down– it’s one of my favorite flowers, which I even had at my wedding years ago.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Local
From Inishmore, Aran Islands.
This tiny café was crammed with tourists who all found a cheery welcome as well as hearty food and delicious cake. It was recommended to us by our local minibus guide, and definitely showcases the charm of the Aran Islands. I loved the traditional thatched roof and the beautiful flower arrangements. I have never seen so many gorgeous window boxes as in Ireland!
