simply beautiful: visit Killarney National Park with me on a bright summer day

All of these photos were taken in Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland, back in Summer 2010.

I loved how the light was coming through the trees right here.

Tall wildflowers along the trail

I wish national parks in the U.S. had castles.

One of my favorite photos-- I like the way the walls of the castle frame the lake and mountains.

Pretty light comes through the trees on a forested trail.

It was a looong walk to this stately manor home-- and well worth it.

Unbelievable view adjacent to the manor.

So beautiful here!

Approaching the ruins

In the nave...(ignore the eye infection).

This spot along the path was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
