Irish Holy Wells, part 3

(Irish holy wells, part 1; part 2.) This post is going to be almost all photographs. St. Culain's Well is one of the loveliest, most tranquil places in Ireland (and you know I have been ALL over). I'm so grateful to Bán for taking me there!   This is the best example of a "rag tree" you are likely to find. Leaving a trinket on a rag tree is a form of prayer for a loved one in need of healing.    The holy well is located just off the Lough Derg Way, and it overlooks this peaceful pond off the River Shannon.     A bit of pottery I found in the spring.  The last line cracks me up.
