Like the sky is about to swallow you up, and there's so *much* space all around, going on and on. There's it's own kind of grandeur. And the sky. I could talk about the sky all day.<br /><br />But then, it's also home. I don't think I've ever spent enough time anywhere else to really feel like I got to know it, y'know. I've been places, but a visit for a day or even a week doesn't feel like nearly enough to actually appreciate anywhere.Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-71203719191953722362012-07-07T07:53:24.898-04:002012-07-07T07:53:24.898-04:00I forgot about those landscapes!

Today, the only thing that I found difficult on the (most amazing) hike was the part that was muddy and when we had to cross streams. The idea of getting my feet wet - or worse MUDDY! - was very disturbing.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-40502794506316868132012-07-06T15:56:36.764-04:002012-07-06T15:56:36.764-04:00I totally want to go to there!I totally want to go to there!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-82852149103504349932012-07-06T14:15:13.347-04:002012-07-06T14:15:13.347-04:00I've walked part of the Boone Fork trail. You ...I've walked part of the Boone Fork trail. You are so right, that part of the country has a mystery that runs very deep. So much hiddenness and streams and gentle rivers and all the beautiful rollingness of it. My husband grew up in that part of NC--many of his relatives are still in Boone-- and my grandfather was from that part of Tennessee, too... we're both Scots-descended, and I always feel the Scottish immigrated there because it reminded them so much of home. So Scotland--the highlands and around the Glencoe region, ohh all of it--really inhabits my soul on a deep level. Much more so than tropical or arid landscapes.<br /><br />Sounds like a beautiful holiday!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-47295595091024035112012-07-06T14:07:50.254-04:002012-07-06T14:07:50.254-04:00Yeah, if you don't like rain, don't come h...Yeah, if you don't like rain, don't come here. . . but I have to say that I love, and find sustaining, the open view from our beach, or from my livingroom windows -- coastal mountains in the distance, island-dotted waters before me. The only other time I've found a home whose windows offered such an appealing (to me, at a gut level) view was at a cousin's home in North Yorkshire's Moors. So I guess what I love is open, sweeping, but with elevation somewhere on the horizon. I was blown away by prairie flatness, but would find it hard to adjust to. And I would find it very hard to be far from a large body of water. Inland makes me feel claustrophobic. . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-90807857208985394842012-07-06T10:40:50.332-04:002012-07-06T10:40:50.332-04:00The fjords of Norway do it for me.
