One of my favorite places in Dublin to explore is St Stephen’s Green. The park has been officially open to the public since the late 1800s. During the Easter Rising of 1916, some insurgents were stationed in the park. According to one of the signs, there was a halt to gunfire to allow the groundsman to feed the birds. Stephen’s Green is near Grafton street, a major shopping area. If you ever have the chance, I recommend taking a stroll.

I’d love to visit there. Looks like you had a nice time.
I hope you get the chance. It’s one of my favorite spots.
I hope so too. Have you checked my blog out recently?
I’ve been away from the blogosphere for a bit, but I just read your review of The Big Bird Cage.
Thank you for checking that out. I’ve been expanding my content a bit on my blog over the last few months. Here’s an example. https://vinnieh.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/check-your-balls/
Awesome!
Wow, St. Stephen’s Green looks so lovely! I can only imagine how much prettier it is in person. And aw, that bird pic in the top right corner is absolutely adorable!
Howdy! I enjoy strolling there when I get the chance. The place calms my mind.
Looks beautiful. I think I need to come for a visit :).
It’s a wonderful place for book, history, and pub lovers.
This is definitely on the “Want to Visit’ list! I have been seriously AWOL from your blog —figured out that I never added you to my Bloglovin’ feed when I changed stuff over. My HUGE bad. I am sorry. I am still out here in the blogosphere!!!
How funny, I was thinking of you the other day when I saw the cutest teapot. Hello!
Hello! Queenie still is hanging out on my coffee / tea bar!!! She is keeping an eye on things.
Ha! So glad she such a loving home.
Oh yea–she definitely has her place in our home.
Looks lovely!! I bet there is a lot of history there.
That it does!
Such a lovely park…I have heard that Dublin is really beautiful. Does it rain much there?
It is beautiful and the rainfall, so far, is about the same amount as London. Except, sometimes it really pours, which it hardly ever did in London. However, that’s only happened a handful of times and luckily I was near a pub. I’m curious to see what the winter is like, with less daylight and colder temps. Will keep you posted.
I am coming with looney…
We can go for a walk and then find a pub to quench our thirst.
I always wanted to visit a place with so many birds like that…but I haven’t found one here.
You have a lovely place
Looks magical! There is just something about parks in autumn with all those leaves which is special.
