This week is ACTION. Next week is PETS(Goodie!).
ACTION=
And this is the only 'action' I got in Ireland, kissing the Blarney Stone. ;) Yes, some guy (tip him well) holds your feet and you lean back into space and kiss the germy stone. Bleck! UPDATE: Yes, there was a reason to kiss a germy stone. First, it's like a right of passage in Irleand travel, and second, it's supposed to bless the kisser with the gift of eloquence.

Cool shots!
I'm in :)
That is a funny action shot! Funny interpretation of the theme.
All I can think about is all the many people that have kissed that stone before!!! EWW! LOL
Great photos! Happy Saturday, Mine is up...it's rather amusing.
I've kissed the Blarney Stone too! That was a few years ago, though, before I became chicken about heights (that's Husband's bad influence, by the way).
Ohhhhhhh dear! It's come to this? Kissing rocks? Better get you back to a Dinner At 8, quick!
Excellent choice for this week's theme.
Have a fun-filled weekend!
Being of the old Ireland descent that I am --- Gotta LOVE these photos!!!
My action shot is poste.
Hahahaha the blarney stone kiss cracked me up!! Why do you kiss it anyway? For luck?
Now that's an action I dream of! I'd love to go to Ireland and I'd gladly kiss the germy old stone!
Ha ha I have a picture on my blog of me kissing the blarney stone too! It is quite the smazzle!
Ohhhh what an action. Why do you have to kiss that germy stone?
My Photo Hunt is up too.
I've always heard about kissing the Blarney Stone but I never knew it was done like that! Great shots!
Why would anyone kiss a germy stone? Is there a legend or something behind it? Do tell! :)
Great choices....I miss Ireland. I just saw (for the third time) the Discovery channel or maybe the Travel channel's half hour show on Dublin. *big sigh*

The top picture is beautiful. The sky and water make for beautiful backgrounds!
I just wonder how many people have used tongue while kissing that rock....?
I knew you're weird... but kissing stones? :P
You neglected to mention that the stone gave you a case of the Irish ICK! :o) And that you had to take more action with the Irish version of Nyquil...Night Nurse.
My parents have kissed the stone too. I have yet to go. And thats would be one of must do while there. Apparently, my family came from Ireland. So I've got to go check it out.
Mine is up.
I love all of your travel shots!
Oooo I haven't seen a Blarney Stone pic since I was a kid.
Thanks for sharing.

We have a shot of my FIL kissing the blarney stone. It was long before liability suits and all that, so also without the guardrails and a guide. It's just him and his buddies -- yikes! He is, btw, good with words. Happy Saturday! I played, too.
way cool! love where it took place... mines up.
Tip him well indeed! That is so different... I love it ;) Thanks for sharing them both.
Well you're still with us, so I'm guessing that you didn't catch anything too gross from the stone. ;)
Great pictures...love the dancing for the camera one. My camera leaves you wondering too.
Dh was trying to take our picture up on Nuuanu Pali, HI. It was so windy that it blew my flash open and DH thought that was the shutter...so he missed the shot. At least I have one of him & DD with his very short hair flying!
Now I'm not sure I'd want to kiss it that bad! Looks a little scarey.
What does kissing the blarney stone suppose to do?
Have a wonderful Saturday!
obviously, it worked :-)
Cool photos! I prefer to call the first one your dancing or river gliding shot :-)
So, is that the ooohhhnly way you could reach over there to kiss the Blarney stone? Well then, I see why you'd have to tip the "kisser holder"/ "smooch saver" very well!
Kissing that stone looks very frightening, and like something you just have to do while your there all at the same time.
Very interesting... not sure if the kissy part is the most interesting or seein' a photo of you doin' it. =)
But it's a cute little dance :D
