This shot was taken off the beaten track on the Cliffs of Moher. Here the strong Atlantic winds create a ridge lift [slope lift] that can take your breath away. The sea birds like to play and float on the rising currents, it's fun to watch.
Thank you all for your visit. :-)
Happy St. Patricks to everyone.
I have an extremely busy schedule today. I start work very early and have a story to cover for the evening.
This recently came up as a Facebook memory. Here is the original caption:
Happy (belated) St. Patrick's Day!
Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain
(May the sun shine warm upon your face)
Here's another Gaelic phrase, one that I like --
Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat
(or May the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat ;-)
Ok...
Píonta Guiness, le do thoil
(A pint of Guinness, please =)

forgive me for deleting group comment codes...
they're not my thing.. tho I do appreciate the visit!
It's St. Patrick's Day today and it's only fitting that I raise a glass to say to you all
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields.
Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.
And may you be in Heaven a half an hour after the Devil knows your dead.
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of the world as seen through my lens.
and

St. Patrick's Day, Fly Day and Eyes of March ever :)

I had every intention of buying an Irish button for this theme, but with all the chaos on the news about COVID19 and all the bare shelves in the stores I would get sidetracked every time there and forget to get the button. So with a failure to want to go out again, I've made do with what I have on hand. Happy St. Patrick's Day.. Stay well my friends!
The photo was taken for the group: Crazy Tuesday
Theme: Buttons
We haven't seen an oriole in many moons.
My notes from July last year:
I thought the young couple were being overly nice. Afraid to spoil our shot. After a while I got annoyed. Let's go already. Pass us. Isn't it funny that it's all about me? There was a rattlesnake in the path.
"...Behavior: Except with respect to its nests, this species seems to have received little detailed study. Of its general habits, Mrs. Irene Grosvenor Wheelock (1904) says: "... he haunts the heavy foliage, flitting through the open only en route to a fresh pasture. Restless, shy, ever on the move, searching for caterpillars on the under sides of the leaves chickadee fashion, picking in the crevices for larvae like a nuthatch, and snapping up grasshoppers with a little jump as do young meadowlarks, he is usually to be found within 12 feet of the ground." While these statements are true as generalizations, the hooded oriole does not hesitate to risk a more exposed situation when necessary in order to explore the flowering stalk of an agave or aloe, and the males sometimes sing from the tops of tall trees.
Their agility on the wing is apparently not such as to encourage them to attempt the capture of flying insects, though the flight is fairly strong and swift. It seems, however, to be used solely as a means of getting from one place to another, and never as a method of expressing exuberance of spirit or expending surplus energy. In going about through the trees and shrubbery, the orioles are likely to climb along the branches with minimum use of the wings. When approached, they lean forward and lower their heads in a characteristic attitude while peering nervously at the intruder."

I may not always get to thank you for every fave or reply to a comment that you might leave here on my image but, just know each comment is read and very much appreciated.
I dedicate this to my Nana- Born in Ireland and as proud an Irishwoman as I have ever seen. Gone but never forgotten- Happy St. Patrick's Day from a wee bit of Irish in Victoria BC Canada- This is a Shalal bush (I think) Very common in the wild in our world and almost always very very green!

A belated Happy St. Patricks Day, better late than never! Meant to post this earlier! Hope everyone had a great one & a couple green ones, lol =)!
May the blessing of light be on you--
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your heart
till it glows like a great peat fire.
( The title is from a Czech Proverb and the words above are an old Celtic blessing. I did not find more detail on the actual authors)
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Explore #227 March 17, 2009!

Thanks to all of the wonderful friends I have met on Flickr my world is truly a better place.
