Something Beautiful

Rose Garden

Thanks, Loren!    

I also love Loren's photos of his song sparrow neighbor. 

And his photos of butterflies are simply . . . amazing.   

Ireland, again

A beautiful photo of stormy Roscommon.

My beloved Ireland

The photo blog North Atlantic Skyline has some beautiful photographs of Ireland. 

Here's one -- Clew Bay .

And here's another that is not precisely beautiful, but is so painfully poignant that it approaches that it comes strangely close -- a deer.

A few more --

wren;

Killary Harbor;

Doolin.

Another heroine

Here is a woman for whom I have long held deep respect -- lawyer Asma Jahangir of Pakistan. 

You can read more about her here. 

And here, among many other places.

Doll's house (Rijksmuseum)

Ladies, you will enjoy spending some time at the Rijksmuseum's extraordinary doll's house.

(And yes, some of you men might as well. It's just not, hmmmm, as likely.)
