I love the expansive, wide-open feeling, but the sense of being always somehow exposed/visible when outdoors took some getting used to. In New England, there is a feeling of being tucked under the forest canopy. Which, while feeling very sheltered, can also sometimes feel a bit overly snug!

They are different... and both beautiful. In my mind, the even bigger difference is how open the land is here compared to back east. Even in a "dense" forest here, it's possible to wander in the forest. I remember that not being possible in Mass forests... Each has its own kind of beauty but I've come to adore the open spaces here although I miss the charm of the history embedded all around places in the east.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-8400838265416341062014-09-09T09:31:08.910-04:002014-09-09T09:31:08.910-04:00Glastonbury is the Isle of Avalon, known for it...Glastonbury is the Isle of Avalon, known for it's mists. The sky near the ground is very misty today,but not as thick as it was at 6.30am this morning. Some hills which I can normally see are hidden. Above that, it's pale blue with soft, translucent clouds. I love it here!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-22585854335148402902014-09-09T02:57:10.607-04:002014-09-09T02:57:10.607-04:00Oh Dani, I HOPE you get rain!!!Oh Dani, I HOPE you get rain!!!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-88527954033896963242014-09-09T01:27:48.566-04:002014-09-09T01:27:48.566-04:00I know exactly what you mean with the blues.
