St. Mary's Camera Soiree
Last week we had a photograph taken by Donal a while back to refresh our memories of what was once our beautiful Village Green. This week Michael G submitted a photo taken from approximately the same position showing what the village “Green” looked like earlier this week!
He also submitted a photo of the magnificent bank of daffodils that is in bloom at the moment at the junction of Kennelsfort Road and Lucan Road. The sight would cheer you up in these troubled times.
Few places in Ireland contain more medieval buildings than the heritage town of Trim and from his visit to the town Donal submitted another photo, this time of the Priory of St. John the Baptist. Located on the eastern edge of the town it was established around 1202 by Simon Rochfort, Bishop of Meath, for the Augustinian Friars, known variously as the Crutched, Crossed and Crouched Friars. The Irish name for Trim is 'Baile Atha Troim' which means 'town at the ford of the elder tree'.
Anna is travelling again and this time she sent us a photo of a Ladybird, of which there are more than 6,000 described species, in a magnolia.
Paddy was in Corkagh Park again and sent us in photos of the lake in the park. Readers may recall that the park is located near the Nass Road stretching towards Clondalkin.
Stay safe until next week!
