In honor of St. Patrick’s Day we’re taking a wee bit of a wander from Sequim to the land of St. Patrick himself.
This is the Hill of Tara, one of the most sacred spots of ancient Ireland. It is a site of kingship rituals and the region, near the River Boyne, is rich with archaeological sites and stunningly beautiful.
This was sunset on a cold winter afternoon. It caught a cherished moment and with it the light and the mood of the day.
“May God grant you always: A sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you; laughter to cheer you; faithful friends near you; and, whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.”

I’ve got the exact same shot from the film days, stuck in an album somewhere. On a slightly better weather day. I loved Ireland, great place to visit.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you Kay and to everyone! What year were you there Kay? This is a glorious shot with that almost misty fairy quality in the background…of course it’s because it’s the Hill of Tara.
This shot was on a trip we took in November, 2007.
Love this shot, Kim… I’d love to go there someday. ‘May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow…’ Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Wow! What a wonderful photo. The scene, lighting and the line of sheep all help make an amazing photo. Very special.
