The fresh air was just what I needed to lift my spirits. I'm glad you managed to pick up on it in the photos :-) I do look ghostly in it, don't I, Janet! I actually really like the light in that shot - a lovely, warm glow. Oh wow, Kelly, you're over in 2010? How fabulous! Make sure you add Stirling to your itinerary :-) I love how you sum up that you would be lost if you moved away from the coast. That is exactly how I feel when I leave my home for any length of time - lost. It was such a lovely, clear day, Nicholas. The fresh air was just what I needed to lift my spirits.

I can't wait to be there! Only 2 more years... My home... yes, I've grown up around this area and we don't have the old buildings and sites and such, but we do have beauty. My brother just commented the other day about a patch of trees we used to play by as children, it had been cut down and we both were sad about it. We are near Puget Sound and the water has always drawn me and it feels like home. I could never move further inland, I would be lost. Great post!

Maybe not the grand architectural ruins like we have in Stirling, but if we look for it we can find it in the most surprising, unpromising places. Regardless of their location, homes are special the world over, aren't they? I'm glad you enjoyed the photos of mine :-) I'll look forward to your photos, Penelope Anne. I love to get an insider's perspective on a place, and am so happy to share mine with you! And, yes, you are quite right; I hadn't popped round to the site for a while. I've rectified that now, and hope to be over a bit more often. Thanks for the reminder! You know, Deb, I’m of the mind that you can find beauty everywhere.

I so want to come to Scotland now. As summer arrives I plan to get out and start taking more pictures of our lovely state though. PS, drop by the site once and awhile love.

However, we do have some beautiful places, even if I can't walk out my front door and find them. My home is built on what was farmland just 20 or so years ago. Our house is somewhat shabbily built by a builder who cut a few too many corners. However, I have wonderful neighbors and a great school system for my children. My family is nearby and I am happy here. I've moved several times in my adult life and I want to stay right where I am for many years. Someday I hope to visit Europe but until then, thank you for sharing these wonderful photos! Living in America, you don’t have the ancient beauty of Stirling.
