Wow, Jackie! @littlebee4 Such a beautiful post you have given #MarketFriday! Thank you! The scenery with the Connemara Ponies is stunning! What a scenic background they graze in. I have to say that the sight of them is fitting with the mountains in the back. I love these ponies, although many people always wonder about the pony/horse title. It is usually because of the size that confuses people and I thought this might help here.
I have three horses, although one is considered a pony by name. He is a Chincoteague Pony with the same history of being shipwrecked way back when. The Connemara is well known for being a wonderful show horse, intelligent, gentle, strong, and a very special breed. I digress, but, they are gorgeous!
The forest, the trees... I wish you knew how much I love trees and nature! I can see your love for it, it is obvious and your pictures frame it nicely. I like the nine pine stands of trees. What a nice legend to leave behind. I have silly little things I leave behind wherever I live. Since I have left home, when I move to a new house, I always, always plant a peach tree, sometimes two. I plant a lilac bush if it will survive. I take a piece of my grandmother's lilac and transplant the lilac shoots directly into the ground. I always take care to put it in full sun and well-draining soil. They always grow!
The trees. without a doubt are amazing there... but not to be outdone by the waterfall! I long for my own personal waterfall... don't we all?
Everything about Kylemore is stunning and over-the-top beautiful. What a nice day and I cannot thank you enough for sharing it with us!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
Thank you kindly Denise, happy to share all the beauty around me. The things I love.
I know how much you like these things… many things I do too.
Most people say horses. It is difficult to see. Like these ponies, they look so large and when people think pony they think small. That was definitely a helpful article. Thanks for sharing.
Oh how wonderful, the same history of being shipwrecked.
I must agree, they are beautiful. I loved seeing them. Especially in this scenery. Could spend daysssss there. Hehehe 🤭
I know Denise. We have many similarities. I love nature, this nature… as Spain couldn’t give it to me.
What he did is so great, planting a tree for each child. And all are still there. Such magnificent giants.
Rugged… and full of details. Wonderful.
That’s great you do plant those where you live every time. So great to hear about the lilac’s.
I didn’t have a garden most of the times. But… will plant many trees 🌳 ones we have a garden. 😊
We did look at some plots today. The search for a mature one is difficult here.
Yes, we all would love a private waterfall… or a stream coming if the mountain… fresh water… a dream 😊
Thank you so much Denise, I am happy you came along. Can’t wait to share the abbey itself and the gothic church.
Have a fantastic Monday and a great new week. ☀️🌺
