Thinking of my Irish grandfather, James Walsh, today. He was a such a loving, kind and patient man. This is a photograph of his brother, my Uncle Frank, who lives in Gort near Galway. Uncle Frank has a contagious laugh. I love this portrait of him because I feel like I can hear him laughing when I look at it!
Looking back at these images from a 2012 trip to Dublin and Galway (and a few places in between) brings back some amazing memories. I posted even more photos from that trip on my personal blog (which has sort of been replaced by my Instagram account). 
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Sláinte!
