Happy St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day Greetings from Dublin
 

As much as I'd like to be sending happy wishes from Dublin today, alas, I'm not in Dublin today. I took the photograph of the Ha'Penny Bridge during my first visit in 2014. I loved my time there and was fortunate enough to return in 2019, when I took another picture of the River Liffey, shown below.


Beautiful Dublin


I started my St. Patrick's day celebration on Sunday with the viewing of The Quiet Man, which starred Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne. This is the seventieth anniversary of the film and it was one of several theater showings this week. I'm not sure if I ever saw this movie previously, but I enjoyed it tremendously. Set in 1920's Ireland, it captured a time and place of countryside and community, in a beautiful setting. If you have the opportunity, it's definitely worth seeing. 

  

  
What are your plans for St. Patrick's Day? Did anyone bake soda bread? 

As ever, thanks for visiting and have a grand day!
