Photograph on Friday
Introduction:
Over the last few years, I’ve had great fun looking through the lens of my little camera. Ireland certainly put her best face forward each and every time I snapped a shot. While I’ve just recently posted some of my overall favorite pics, these two posts bring great nostalgic joy for what was seen through that lens…not only through my eyes, but through the Kiddies’ eyes as well…
Through A Child’s Eyes (originally published 31 August 2007)
What happens when you give a camera to your children just for something to do?
Full Circle (originally published 30 May 2008)
Indulging in a bit of retrospectivity…
One of my favorite pictures from our first days in Ireland.
Had stumbled upon a hidden inlet, rocks relentlessly battered by waves until rounded and smooth. What a treat as we, too, felt relentlessly battered by new cultural experiences in those early days.
How small the Kiddies seem!
Appropriate, then, to come full circle for another visit to the inlet during our last days on the island.
A few other pictorial indulgences thrown in for good measure…
Off the coast of Wicklow
Glendalough, Co. Wicklow
The children grew so much while you were there!
I always love it when you post photos of Ireland. Gives me something to dream about.
Have a lovely weekend.

I don’t have to miss it – because I am here:)) you could sell the pic of Glendalough to a postcard company! I remember that original entry – and was amused by the different things kids see with the camera… and how they grow in only a few years time!
have a nice mayday weekend – all the best from the emerald isle:))

Such beautiful photo’s and wonderful experiences. Thanks for sharing. Are there beautiful places where you live now, other than the obvious?

I remember your posts where you have given your kids “free-range” with the camera and thinking it was a great idea. It was!

Lovely Ireland — lovely pictures. I was lucky enough to go to Glendalough several years ago — one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.
