The Emerald Isle

I've noticed many bloggers sharing their pics of Ireland today and thought, "I want to share too!".  I lived in Dublin for three months and though my favorite haunts were around Grafton Street this pic was actually from one of my rare trips to the countryside.  That day we nearly collided with a flock of sheep, while moving at shockingly high speed, but it was worth the trip to have the chance to wander through the old church ruins and surrounding graveyard that we found along the roadside.  There was so much history there that the stones nearly sang out the story of all that they had seen.
