I decided to look back in my archives to see if I could share some oldies but goodies. From Niagara Falls to Ireland to Venice and everywhere in between from 2012 to 2016.

Everyone once in awhile Facebook or my Photo Stream appear on my phone and remind me of events that took place in the past. It seems that I have done a most of my travelling in July which isn’t really unusual because the summer was the only time I could get away as a teacher.
Here are a few of my favourite moments from the past.
My husband when I first met him in 1972.
Our daughter’s wedding day, 9/10/11
Hiking up the cliff side in Houth, Ireland 2011
Can you believe this is the same guy but 30 years younger?

….thanks to Becky B on this glorious March 17th for hosting March Square
What could be more fitting today than a quilted square from the Quilt Belonging collection representing Ireland.
What could be more Irish than the Celtic cross cross stitched on Cashel linen. This piece was hand stitched by Loralyn Reilly Gazdik whose grandmother emigrated to Canada for economic and political reasons. For over two centuries the Irish have made huge contributions to the fabric of Canadian culture.
…this week’s WordPress photo challenge is any photo taken from above or atop
…..Ailsa’s travel theme this week is where land meets water
Water and beach scenes have to be my favourite subjects for photographs……. from the shores of Ireland to the rocky coast of Lake Ontario and the sandy beach at Christian Island.
For more wonderful descent photos check out The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge.
…..very old trees at Malahide Castle in Ireland
A grand old beauty that is over 500 years old.
Gnarly old trees surrounding the church

….I’m very attracted to water
I live by water all year round. My home is 100m from Lake Ontario and my cottage is on Georgian Bay. My walks take me along the shores of the lake and our dog loves to swim in the lake.
For more photos of water check out Sue Llewelyn’s A Word in Your Ear.
This week’s photo challenge is about perspective: post a photo which is not what it seems to be. Make sure you share what the photo actually is of in its caption!
