Best of the best of Ireland

Sorry for the briefness on the descriptions, but I’ve got to run to catch my shuttle home!  Here are the best of the best photos from our trip to Ireland last April.  Be sure and make it all the way to the bottom to see my absolute most favorite picture I’ve ever captured!

Jerpoint Abbey, an abbey we just stumbled upon along our drive from Dublin to Waterford.

Rob on our first day of sightseeing.

My favorite piece at Waterford Crystal.

My second piece.

Watching a master craftsman at his trade.

Another beautiful piece.

One of the trails around the castle we stayed at.

The sights as we crossed by ferry to the island where the castle was at.

Chris on the castle grounds.  Love that you can see me in his glasses.

Again.

Fields of rapeseed (used to make canola oil).  These bright yellow fields were EVERYWHERE.

Taken at the Rock of Cashel.
