Ok maybe not the politics or a few things out there, but gosh I still do love the Irish (minus the mean Dublin bus driver who left me at the stop!) but anyway, this is one of those trips that totally changed me.
I was so in awe in Ireland, especially the fact that plants could just hang. ย And yes, I know I could buy them and do that in the desert, but it’d be so unrealistic. ย I’d have to water that thing a few times a day. ย I just knew with the Ireland weather which is comparable to Seattle they didn’t have to water their flowers at all.
And they were everywhere. ย Hanging off windowsills, flowers, flowers, flowers! ย Cascading flowers!
I’m jealous, can you tell by my tone?
And probably no drip system needed either. ย NO DRIP!! ย Sure this was at Ashford Castleย and they have landscapers but come on, I’m pretty sure this didn’t require much watering. ย Unlike that one time I was trying to mess with our drip system timer and realizing it hadn’t gone for a few days nearly killing everything we owned. Oops.
Let’s not forget Cullen’s Cottage.
I loved that there were just green things growing in the stone. ย I’d like to plant a fern or some flower between stone crevices here only chances are they’d get eaten by a bird or burn up.
I woke up this morning really missing Ireland. ย Can you tell?
I miss seeing these little creatures too:
Look what I found to make that happen in my own backyard:
Outdoor sheep and lamp lawn ornaments anyone? ย Just kidding.
Equipment used:ย Sony NEX-5Rย (c/o),ย 50mm f1/.8,ย 16mm f/2.8ย +ย 18-55mmย (c/o).
Diana Elizabeth says she still thinks that’s awesome.

I think the sheep are darling. And oh! Those flowers! Especially the cascading ones…what a dream! They remind me of my favorite wedding bouquet ever: my own cascading orchids and purple and blue flowers!

Hi Krystal! Yes dreamy right? Loved your bouquet too!
