Thank you for your comments on my rusty truck door image!  The truck was a fun subject and I'm glad you liked it.

I couldn't decide between this photo of the kitten and the one seen here: http://goo.gl/R5WL1
Any opinions? This link also shows the last of the hot springs photos
Waterford Castle

The first structure built by the Fitzgeralds  in the late 1100s was a Norman Keep; a tower like stone structure with thick walls, narrow slit windows and a lead roof. At that time the Keep would have been the core of any defence in battle and would have been virtually impregnable.By the 15th century, the ruins of the Keep were no longer habitable. A tower, the centre part of the present Castle, was then constructed on the site of the old Keep. Initially it was relatively modest in size but, over the years was enlarged. Firstly in 1849 by John Fitzgerald and subsequently in 1875 and 1895 when the East and West wings were added.

It is now a hotel http://www.waterfordcastle.com/index.html

Taken as the sun was setting behind the castle. From my archives. Processed this morning.

Phill and I are taking a break from tomorrow. Will comment today but will not be posting or commenting again until Sunday week. Thank you for all the views and comments this week.

Peony season!  Hurray!

DP138-2013  Posted May 18; processed ditto

The start of the peony season is a highlight of the spring for me.  It begins with the early blooming tree peonies, such as seen here.

May 18.  Yesterday at the Preakness Hot Air Balloon Festival we were the chase crew for this balloon called "Lightweight."  As I was holding one side and the fan was blowing open the envelope, I grabbed my iphone to grab a few quick pics.  The silhouette is actually the pilot.  They had a nice ride and so we're headed back again today hoping the weather behaves.
