Ireland Mini Trip - #4

Showcasing Some Creatures!

From creepy crawlies to cows

On our travels we have bumped into countless little and large animals both in the wild and in fields. I was lucky to get a few shots in amid the walks and visits.

Today is our last day on the Emerald Isle and we are staying put for most of the day, but I thought I would update with some of these nature shots as I feel I caught a couple of good'uns! Enjoy!

Cute pics!

Are you close to the cliffs of mohr? Those are on my travel challenge :)

I had a quick check actually, but we won't be at the cliffs on this trip sadly! ://imgur.com/a/6DHKq
One of my family members is actually heading there this week though as they are an amazing site!

You can still participate :). 1. If you can get someone to make a sign and get the photo that still counts. 2. As mentioned in the post you can make a sign and take a photo at any famous location to have a chance at a bonus award! :)
