The fret, which is a chilly and damp mist coming in from the sea did nothing to enhance the photos. Yet, despite all that when you take a closer look there was a lot to see and find that was indeed beautiful. The stone walls were a delight. Who knows how long these stones have been there...all hand lifted into place. A dry stone wall is indeed a skill and plentiful on this Island.
Gloomy it may well have been but still a beautiful day whatever the weather. How do you view it? Can you see the beauty or do you see the gloom?
A warm welcome to new followers I do hope you enjoy my little adventures through life. I seem to have lost a few and then gained a few so not sure what is going on. Thank you for your visit to my little space in blogland and for your uplifting comments.
See you soon.
Sheep always know when food is arriving!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, especially of the dry stone walls
Both but probably more beauty if you are there!

Beauty! I like the stone walls! Yes, that is a skill. Also, I also like the stone cottages, barns, outbuildings...
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely beauty. The walls are wonderful. Hope the physio helped you.
ReplyDeleteI really like the second one. I think there is beauty everywhere even on a gloomy day like that. I really try hard to see the beauty around me especially in winter here when everything seems grey and the days are really cold and dreary. Thanks for sharing the photos!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's hard to look past the cold, damp and gloom of winter, but there is beauty in every weather, everyday. I like rainy days when the rain is running down the window, I like cold, frosty days when everything glitters and of course warm, sunny days. I hope your shoulder is soon better. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteThe great outdoors is always beautiful, whatever the weather.
ReplyDeleteDry stone walls always amaze me to think of the work that went into making them.
ReplyDeleteI love dry stone walls. They look amazing in the damp and grey but I bet they are stunning on a clear bright spring day.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely beauty MM all those soft muted colours are so soothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit worried about how close that Landrover is to the edge though....lol.

Your post title, is so, so, so true!!!!

The sheep seem "close" to the "edge" to me. But I'm sure, it is an optical illusion. :-)

I see both but somehow beauty always shine through the gloom. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteTough question! Depends... Some days I see only the gloom and some days, I see the beauty in spite of the gloom.
ReplyDeleteAlways something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about mist and fog even rain that can be appreciated. The freezing rain that is in our forecast is a little harder to like. The trees and shrubs will look amazing but there will also be accidents.
ReplyDeleteI think we have far more people visiting our blogs that just never bother to become 'followers'. Thank you for being faithful to leave a comment when you visit my blog. I appreciate your friendship.
I agree with you.. you can find beauty in most days, all you have to do is look and be a positive person. Two different people can see things either happy or negative.. I'm happy to say I'm with you on this. LOVE the ancient stone walls! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteAlways beauty to be found. I love dry stone walls.
ReplyDeletegorgeous photos and I hope the therapy helps!!
ReplyDeleteI alway love looking at old rocks and stones, particularly those which are covered by lichen and moss. Took some photos of rocks on Iona when I was there in September last year. They were covered in lichen in beautiful patterns. Not keen on cold damp days, but if I am warmly dressed then it doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see beauty in all your pictures. The stone walls are amazing. I just can't imagine actually living there. It's liking looking at National Geographic magazine. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOoh so foggy, just like here this morning but without the sheep!
ReplyDeleteI am lucky I have a lot of imagination so I see all your pictures in full sunshine ! And indeed it is a beautiful landscape !
ReplyDeleteWonderful atmospheric photos of your journey:)
ReplyDeletelove your pictures , we are having the same kind of weather
ReplyDeleteLots to see in spite of the weather.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and seeing your photographs, love those dry stone walls.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I think it is beautiful, no matter the weather you live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Thanks for the encouragement in regards to retirement!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I'm always pleased to go out and see the beauty all around. I like mist, but not fog. Dry stone walls and sheep are a feature of our countryside too. Of course, you have the sea as well so you live in a beautiful place. I hope the physio is helping and you're both keeping well. Wishing you a peaceful weekend.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the gloomiest of days can provide the best photo opportunities as there is no distracting sun. Hope the appt went well, Lorraine.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I travel, I always check out the fences. They're usually made from whatever is plentiful, so many varieties. I love the lava fences of Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteThe dreich day (what a great word!) did indeed contain beauty. Stone fences fascinate me, as do walled gardens, rarely, if ever, seen here.
ReplyDeleteDreich, fret, croft. Words I never hear in Australia unless you are talking guitar frets or the verb to fret. So interesting and educational today Lorraine
