LOL! Spring is my favourite - it holds the promise of warmer days to come and everything is fresh and green and new.<BR/><BR/>Throughstones - sorry you had trouble posting. Technology is a pain when it doesn't work, fabulous when it does. I just love the landscape in Orkney and enjoy sharing with others around the world. I particularly love shifting sands and tide. I have a photo of the estuary in your part of the world on a wall in my house, called "Estuary Ebbs". Bought it in a shop in Appledore a couple of years ago.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-12910609763612041682009-03-27T21:32:00.000+00:002009-03-27T21:32:00.000+00:00third time lucky - I keep trying to leave this com...third time lucky - I keep trying to leave this comment, and weird internet things kepp happening...<BR/>Just wanted to say that I so enjoy reading your descriptions of wildlife and landscape.
