Sunday in the Park

I went to the park, not this Sunday (it was raining and raining by the sea = cooold) but last Sunday when it was absolutely glorious. And for once, I took Oliver along, so I could photograph this lovely seaside town of DL and the organic food market that I have been so obsessed with and, more importantly, the Irish Sea. With further ado (which is Olde English for rambling) I give you Dun Laogharie:


This is the view from the sea wall, looking to the Irish Sea. It was rather a nice day and there were lots of sail boats out, including the one I'd own, should I ever decided to be come a sailor.


I'd absolutely have an orange sail. Could there be any other color for me?


A little farther down the beach it looks like this.



This is the organic market in the People's Park. It's very Jolly Holiday with Mary isn't it?


You can just see the sea in the distance. It's literally across the street from where I was walking and taking the sea photos above.



The tulips were out in full bloom as you can see. The terrace is outside a bagel shop that serves really good coffee. I often sit there and just watch the kids run around.





This is where I get the train to DL. Beautiful, no? It's just across the street from Landsdowne stadium, in the middle of Dublin. It's a canal that feeds out to the sea and ebbs and flows with the tide. The other day, while waiting, I saw something looking back at me from the water. It was a seal. He'd swum in and managed to catch a fish, which was in his mouth. He was just sitting there looking at me looking at him when he suddenly remembered dinner and tossed the fish up to catch in his mouth, but missed. The fish bounced off his nose and got away. My train arrived and the sea and I parted.

So that's what I do on Sundays. Unless it's cold. It's always colder by the sea.
