More Irish Cottages in Dublin

Not all the pretty Irish cottages are located in the Irish countryside. Dublin is the capital city and has it's own share.

These photos were taken by me during my 15 minute walk home from work in my local library in Baldoyle. Baldoyle (or in Gaelic -Baile Dubhgall) is on the east coast of Ireland and used to be a fishing village. It is now a suburb of Dublin City.  These lovely cottages date from that time.

As they are in my locality, I am so used to seeing them I hardly notice them. But as you bloggers know - blogging makes you see things as potential blogging material! Enjoy these pretty cottages and cottage gardens.

I love the stain glass door on the one and the paint colors. They are so crisp and bright.

Ok, I am in awe here in California! I want that stone house (last picture!). So cute!!!!

Yes, Duhgall's name is Gaelic and it translates to dark stranger - so fitting for a black Scottish Terrier, however he is no stranger to most. A bit aloof at some, but usually always ready to greet those he can tell are "dog" people.

Seeeeee....I told you we could be related!!!!! Is there a Fanning Island? I had heard that once before. Needless to say, my cousins are all red heads, too!

Thanks for the visit!!

I once had a poster with photos of the "Doors of Ireland" and it had rows and rows of lovely doors - all very welcoming. I have long since lost that old poster but this will now be a great reminder. Thanks for giving me that memory once again!

Hey, next time you're visiting Ma and Da, stop and take a photo of the tiny cottages behind the Manhattan. They're adorable. I'm e-mailing you some photos from my trip in '06.
