Indian sculptures and Irish wildflowers
Last week I headed out for a Sunday stroll around the Indian Sculpture Park in Wicklow with some friends. I'd never heard of them, and was in for a treat. Giant Indian sculptures are dotted around the 22-acre park, which includes pretty woodlands and ponds (and plenty of

Big Sur Glamping
At last, I'm beginning to post shots from my trip to California with Ben earlier this year! I'm going to start halfway through the trip, with some shots from our stay at Treebones Resort. It's a self-sustained 'glamping' resort along the Big
