Actually this is southern Scotland, but Ireland is only a dozen or so miles west in this area, both green and all, you get the idea..
Dedicated to the memory of those Irishmen who gave their blood,sweat,tears,and lives to construct the I&M Canal 1836-1848
I rarely post more than 1 photo at a time but I thought that I would post these together as they share a single theme, people.
The guy in the first photo actually asked me to take a shot of him and his friends posed nicely behind.
The second photo shows just how green the river turns.

Here are some of the St. Patty's Day cookies I'm sending to a friend. After I cut and baked all of the cookies, I realized I had forgotten to make a derby hat.
I want to wish all of the Irish out there on Flickr (that's all of us today!) a Happy, Healthy and Safe St. Patrick's Day! Next year I'll do better than just coloring a yellow flower, maybe an old Postcard.

Happy St. Pat's Day to all my flickr friends. Some fun facts for the day:
St. Patrick's Day is not a big drinking holiday in Ireland as many of the local pubs there are closed for the day.
Corned beef is strictly an American dish, the Irish don't eat it to celebrate the day.
Thirty-four million Americans have Irish ancestry, that's almost nine times the population of Ireland — which has 4.1 million people.
Bailey's Irish Cream is the most popular liqueur in the world.
St Patrick's Day south-american style {Peruvian National Costumes]
The history of Peru is rather long, fascinating and uneasy. This country, as you know, was conquered by the Spanish Empire in 16th century. Spanish conquistadors influenced the Peruvian culture much. But still people of Peru managed to save most traditions, customs and beliefs.
One of the main features of this nation is that Peruvians are excellent craftsmen. Their textile products are estimated in other countries. Every tourist admires the beauty of local handmade clothing and wishes to buy something at Peruvian colorful markets.
There are several features of national clothing in Peru. First of all, clothes is rather warm (because the weather in Andes is cold and changeable) and in most cases – homemade. The main material for making clothing is the wool of Alpaca. Peruvian garments have geometric patterns and vibrant colors. All of these make the traditional costume of Peru very bright and unique.

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2017
As you can probably tell, I ran out of creativity juice when it came to the names of my St. Patrick Day costumes. I was just glad to be done with them honestly. Maybe after a pint or two of "inspirational spirits" I'll come up with decent names.
P.S. Open to suggestions also.
