Let the Irish Journey Resume...

No, your eyes don't deceive you... an Irish dandelion,
exhibiting the same tenaciousness
as their American counterparts!

And, likewise tenacious, Ivy.

The Craft Court at Malahide Castle in Dublin

Now we're talking ("busman's holiday")!
Michael's Garden Centre in Dublin,
with the proprietor keeping vigil.

After the "wide open spaces" that our local garden centers
seem to require, it's interesting to see how the wise use of
limited space, in city environs, can yield attractive displays.

Judging by the handles, those are probably some nice stainless
shovels or spades, leaning on the wall...
looks like an intriguing little spot!

Special thanks, once again, to S.R. Calef for the great ©2007 photos!
