I’m going to have to take a break from blogging for the next two or three weeks while I move. I will be back of course. I apologize for being a bit behind in keeping up with my fellow bloggers the last while but my world is in chaos at the moment! Oh how I hate packing. Here are a few previous images I recently found.
Do visit Leanne Cole‘s wonderful blog with her Monochrome Madness Gallery- so many fine photographers and artists!
From The Wit and Wisdom of Highland Cows
“Zen-like one eyed looking can be useful when trying to see beyond the immediate obvious”
and here are some of my fanciful edits to distract me from the mundane of moving

There is a place where the world is a mirror

Skye is wonderfully magical as I think another blogger who was there recently will attest. Visit Crow Canyon for his wonderful photographic journey. Skye is rich with the history and legends of the Dalriada Gaels, the Picts and the Vikings- and of course fairies.
I wrote about the Fairy flag of Dunvegan Castle here
and my journey to Skye is here
PS: Did you catch the anagram?
the runes of the gatekeeper's daughter- dedicated to Nick 
I love the ox!

I absolutely adore these photos and all that goes with them. I imagine you are well into your move at the moment! I’m not moving and I’m probably further behind than you! LOL! No need to write back. Just do what needs to be done. I know the stress! 😀

slowly catching up Linda!! very slowly- a lot of stuff has to be given away or sold etc. I so hope I didn’t bite off more than we can chew!! New expenses keep jumping out!! But it is lovely, check out my recent post.

When we moved, we sold and gave away so much stuff. Of course, after we got here, we found ourselves saying over and over, gosh I wish we hadn’t gotten rid of such and such! Your place looks beautiful. It’s fun living in the woods. But, I must say, this 1.5-2 hours to fun shopping (over the mountains and through the woods!) can be a pain…! 😆

May everything sort itself out and all find their perfect seat in your new home.
