Where The Family Has Been Recently...

So, you know my family is in a land far far away. No, not that place. They've been in Shetland, staying with my father in law. Recently, though, they took a trip back to the mainland, where they were awed by things like trees. Gudrun took a few snaps, as she quite likes to do. I thought I'd offer a few for your visual stimulation.

This is near Dunkeld and Birnam, in Perthshire...
These are just some leaves...
And a tree... (The girl isn't mine, but she's a lovely family friend.)Flowers...
This is is the River Tay as it approaches Dunkeld. We used to live in Dunkeld, and I wrote quite a bit of Pride of Carthage while strolling along this river...
The kids out with a cousin for a walk in Aberdeenshire....
And then! Then they returned to Shetland. Just in time, too, for the seas soon churned up a gale...

In case you're wondering. Yes, I'm still working on the book. It's getting juicy. (In a "Man, readers are gonna hate you, Mr. Cliffhanger" type of way.) I'm fatigued, but I'm also nearly at the point where I type in "The Hell With It..."

Wait, no, that's not it. I meant where I type "The End". It's coming soon. Less than 24 hours away... Actually, I've got more like 12 hours left...
