Cliffs Of Moher
It was raining again this morning with a grey sky. We were warned maybe the Cliffs would not be a good site to see today. An hour and half there, stay for 2 hours and then an hour and half back in the rain would not be fun. We resolved to do it anyway rather than another day of shopping. We stuck to our original decision, 9 of us and John. On our bus ride up there the clouds began separating and the blue revealed itself like a smile from the one you love. We felt invited as if Ireland was about to show us something special. We ogled over the landscape on the ride there- personally taking about a hundred pictures. Beautiful hills full of green everywhere with a grey spot that made the homes, walls and eventually the Cliffs. I saw a black faced lamb chewing the grass. A tan heifer stood while her calf suckled. Tall leaning prairie grass fanned out everywhere. Yellow wild flowers spotted the green pastures while earth tried to cover over the rocks, laying there for centuries. We could see all the way to Galway and the Aran islands. It was perfect.
That is a great photo. What a lovely spot you have found!!!
