I’m feeling a little delicate at the moment, so I thought I’d take inspiration and use it for this week’s travel theme. Here are a few delicate sights I’ve photographed on my travels. First, the delicate iron work of a Dublin lamp post – look at all those shamrocks!
Hiking along the Boulder River in the Cascade Mountains earlier this year, I spotted layers of fungus growing out of a tree by a waterfall. It was hot and humid and everything was covered with tiny beads of moisture (including me!)
Delicate tiles surround a drinking fountain in Santa Fe.
And I’ll leave you with some Skagit Valley tulips on a rainy day.
Are you ready to apply a delicate touch to this week’s theme? If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Delicate
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS – I’m in the process of changing over to a new website host but will give you all a heads up when the changeover happens.

I love your Shamrocks and tiny beads of moisture! Today I am breaking a rule and posting a photo of local creature that usually creeps me out but the setting fits this theme. 🙂 http://nwframeofmind.com/2013/11/03/travel-theme-delicate/
The water drops and tulips are amazing! I really like the topic 🙂
