Travel theme: Delicate

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.
