It would be interesting to see Loch Ness... how far is it from where you live? So are midges more like flies or more mosquitos? Well... I guess I have loaded you full of questions... but thanks for sharing your trip with us.<br />Love and Blessings,<br />PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962395509313703071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-32858807899699829862013-08-12T18:24:38.354+01:002013-08-12T18:24:38.354+01:00The pictures are so lovely, I could stay here a lo...The pictures are so lovely, I could stay here a long time enjoying them. Still, to experience the landscape with all the senses is preferable - even with the midges! When my daughter and I visited in '05 we found that the midges mostly were a problem when we were standing still. So we tried to keep hiking!GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-59544761741740759412013-08-08T20:37:53.932+01:002013-08-08T20:37:53.932+01:00Thank you, Patrice :)

The girls want to put together a whole show....and we are at the fairgrounds now until Sunday, so it'll not be til next week that they are finished, I imagine. <br />I did hear about midgies....glad to have NOT met any as of yet, but from Sarah's account, midgies are a small price to pay for the pleasure of such company as yours!<br />Hope your day is grand!The Coderlambianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683159579544155288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-12735344914718958452013-08-07T07:50:15.793+01:002013-08-07T07:50:15.793+01:00It's all so beautiful!

I love the way the sky rolls out on top of everything, and so different in each photo, and all the shadow the cloud makes.<br />I think the photo with the road in is my favourite, the way everything slopes down to the water.<br />However, you're making me feel nervous about when I'll be taking the ferry later this year!!!<br />Izzy xx<br /><br />Izzyhttp://14-things.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-59783701092758486982013-08-07T03:21:47.913+01:002013-08-07T03:21:47.913+01:00Oh, such beauty!

It makes my heart ache a little--in a good way.<br /><br />It also makes me remember my brief visit to that part of the world--back in the summer of '05 when we were moving back to the States from Israel. We spent a few days roaming around, giving Jeff a chance to do some genealogical research. I know we weren't exactly where you were, but the lakes and hillsides look so similar to my eye.<br /><br />I think the Furness Abbey was my favorite place we visited. Have you been there, by chance?Davene Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036284894596672798noreply@blogger.com
