Ring of Kerry
Towards the end of our trip we stopped off at the Ring of Kerry in Ireland. This is the epitome Ireland. Blue clouded sky casting dapple shadows over green farmland flowing into the ocean. Definitely one of the best views.
Skellig Michael: Clinging Beauty
Skellig Micheal was truly an epic place. Though super rocky and out in the middle of the ocean, it still had so much beauty. Everywhere you look were these flowers that clung to the rock faces.

Skellig Michael: Puffin Up Close and Personal
This past Summer, we took a trip to Scotland and Ireland. While in Ireland we got the chance to visit Skellig Michael. Yes, the island where the latest Star Wars films were shot. One of the amazing features of this island (and the reason there were Porgs in the films) are the Puffins. They were EVERYWHERE and you could get so close to them. It was by far one of my favorite places in Ireland.
