Skye High


Do you ever find yourself 
in the middle of a perfect moment
and wish you could freeze time forever?

You realize that you're in the middle of something really special.

You try your best to savor the magic of that moment
-to engage in it, as fully as you can-
before time pulls that scene away and replaces it with normal life.

Whether it's with your family all gathered together at the holidays,

or as you wipe away tears of laughter over dinner with friends,

...or, maybe, it's traveling across Northern Scotland at Christmas with your love.











We're holding on to this perfect day for a little longer...
tea time with Tunnock's caramel wafers &
a walk around the tiny fishing village, Portree,
before returning for dinner at the hotel pub.

Life, on the Isle of Skye, is good.

  6. May the trail rise up to meet up
    May your heart rejoice in song
    May the skies be fair above you
    As you journey ever on.
    Ever on--ever on
    Ever on--ever on.

  11. Are you sure that you do not need someone to carry your bags, massage those weary feet or sketch all your adventures. I just love all the places you go, the things you see, and eat and enjoy.
    Ah, life is good.
