Just returned from an amazing trip to Ireland - neolithic monuments, castles, abbeys, and of course wonderful people, pubs and restaurants! This is Poulnabrone Dolmen (or portal tomb) located in the Burren region of County Claire. Dated to the early Neolithic period, estimated 3800-3200 BC.

Kilmainham Gaol is one of the Irelandโ€™s most significant historical sites. Built 1796, this former prison played a central role in Irelandโ€™s struggle for independence. The stark architecture provided great photographic opportunities, with its iron staircases, arched windows, and ominous cell doors.

My favorite images from our recent trip to Dublin, Ireland came from the most unexpected locationโ€ฆ Kilmainham Gaol.

I think the weather was pretty typical for the time of year. We got a little bit of everything - rain and 40s (F), a couple frosty mornings near freezing, and some sunny afternoons with temps in the lower 50s (F). ๐Ÿ™‚

Something a little different from the usual landscape and nature.

We just returned from a week in Dublin, Ireland and I absolutely fell in love with the local pubs. Each pub has it's own character, but all are warm, cozy and inviting. The "vibe" is just so good!

I just figured out you can pin lists so they show up like a tab along with feeds at the top of the app (and web). You can also customize the order of your feeds. This is a really nice way to organize content for daily browsing (at least, for me). ๐Ÿ™‚
