This is a great lens! Thanks for featuring my Celtic Music: Lenses here. I was amused by the "Halfway to St. Patricks Day" idea for September 17. I had a similar idea with my Ground Fog Day lens - that date is August 2, halfway to Groundhog Day. I gave this lens 5 stars, favorited it, and lensrolled it to Celtic Music: Lenses.
