It is a magnificent place, which has to be seen to be believed. I hope you make it there someday. Best wishes, Mairead. Mary - I think all of the photographers must have been enjoying the warmth and shelter of the Kerry pubs on all those inevitable rainy days.
I think you're right though - a few rainy shots would be more realistic. At least a few rainbows made the cut. All the best, Mairead. Sara - Kerry really is spectacular. I hope I can squeeze in a trip there when I get back to Ireland this summer. Was blessed and privileged to briefly visit this paradise on earth you call Kerry and am so emotional as I absorb the marvellous photos and count the days until April when I can rest my eyes on all these amazing treasures Kerry offers. Connie - I hope you have a wonderful time when you visit Kerry in April.
It should be lovely, with lots of wild flowers starting to bloom. It is lovely to hear you so enjoyed your first trip to Ireland, you are planning a return visit. Enjoy every moment of your time there. Cheryl - I hope you get to visit an Irish castle someday. My husband's dream is to renovate an old castle someday - I think we'll have to win the lotto for that one. Anne - It was hard to pick out just a few photos of County Kerry - this post could have gone on forever and a day, there are so many beautiful shots to choose from.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Grammy - County Kerry has some of the most spectacular, unspoiled beaches in the whole world. The water is on the cold side for swimming, but you can't beat a lovely walk on a Kerry beach. Have a lovely weekend. What a gorgeous set of photos! I can tell you really love your country. I toured the Ring of Kerry a few years ago and it was stunningly beautiful.
I can't wait to go back someday and spend more time there. Thank you for your post. Mairaid - thank you. Fabulous photographs of a fabulous County. I am a Kerryman in exile, but the sheer beauty of the lakes, mountains and superb blue flag Atlantic beaches forever impresses me - the place just touches my soul with every visit.
Great outdoor variety in one little County. Donie - I understand completely how County Kerry touches your soul with every visit. It is a beautiful part of the world.
Despite having spent over twenty years living in America, I still call Ireland my spiritual home. I recharge my batteries when I am there, and West Cork and Kerry are my favorite parts of our homeland. All the best and thanks for stopping by. Is it even possible to take a photo in Ireland that is not picturesque?
What a beautiful country! Thank you for sharing all these photos. Hi Lynn - County Kerry is one of the most spectacular counties on the island. Its rugged coastline is simply breathtaking. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth, in my opinion. Thanks for becoming an armchair traveler to Ireland with me. Your email address will not be published. We had envisaged a very narrow pass, a bit like in the cowboy films but it was wider than we had imagined but still picturesque.
The cottage at the entrance to the Gap, which is now a bar and gift shop, was originally lived in by Kate Kearney who lived in the years before the Great Famine. Obviously a bit of a local legend. After meeting up with Mary our airbnb host and her lovely rescue dog, Freya, we headed off to the interesting named Inn Between for a hearty meal. The landlord was super friendly and tried to explain the Gaelic football which had Irish commentary.
The food was good and the Guinness was even better so a perfect end to another day exploring the west coast of Ireland. Jo, love your Reggie Perrin photo walking towards the sea. Did your leave your clothes behind? Like Like. What a fascinating, wild and wierd place.
Smashing blog Jo. Where is your Venice blog? Kate sure is a legend. We sing Mountain Dew at my Melbourne ukulele group and what a rollicking song it is.
