AND SO, OUR JOURNEY ENDS, WITH A LAST GLIMPSE OF IRELAND...





The COBH Heritage Centre
is located in Cóbh, County Cork.
On this site, you'll discover the significance
of this port of emigration and learn of the Titanic connection.

And lastly, this bucolic scene of the misty, emerald isle,
whose land still seems to pulsate with ancient Celtic rhythm.

Alas, our travels are at an end, but I trust that this journey has been as heartening for the reader, as it has been for this blogger... chasing away some of the winter 'blahs.' And speaking of journeys, it's high time we resume our journey to spring... wending our way to yet another growing season. If you're not already a gardener, follow a gardening friend, through the lingering snows and into a brand new season.

One last "Thanks!" for these ©2007 photos, goes out to photographer S.R. Calef.

Ah,'twas surely a bonney sight and now 'tis a tear traipsin' doon o'er m' cheek.

Sorry about that! I just had to try it. ;-)

Isn't the front entry of the home in photo #1 inviting?

How's your snowfall?

I would love to visit Cobh - what an incredible place. Mostly, though, I'd like to have a vine-covered house... like the ones shown in this picture.

Thanks for the Irish tour. I enjoyed it ... thanks to your photographer friend too.

Thank you, all! This whole travel series was quite a treat for me as, other than one trip to Iowa, it's probably the furthest I'll ever travel... via my armchair, that is. Now, if I just had some photos of Scotland.....
