   • I’m not sure what you mean by ‘four of these links’. I checked Daily Post and only saw this post show up once. There were other posts with similar photos.

     • I found it through the Reader and there were four posts, all the same. I wouldn’t worry about it. Probably some weird WP thing.

     • Thanks Janet. I’ve seen that with other people’s post on the Reader. I wonder why that happens. Maybe I’m too impatient and hit the publish button more than once.

   • I feel the same way. I guess that’s why I live by water year round.

4. Great gallery, Carol ….. I wouldn’t mind having any of those views just now … but I also would love to have some real winter for a couple of days. My pick here, must be the two chairs. Have a lovely weekend.

   • Thanks Viveka, Your choice is one of my favourite photos but then again all three have a special place in my heart. I guess that’s why I chose them for ‘serenity’.

6. There’s something very calming about the sound of waves or water rippling over stones in a burn.

   • Dorothy I had to go to the dictionary to understand what you meant by ‘burn’. I kind of figured that it was a brook or stream and I did learn that it is a term used mostly in Scotland and northern England. I asked my husband, who has Irish roots, but he’d never heard the word used in that context. Thanks for broadening my awareness of the English language.

     • Yes, Carol, it’s a stream but we refer to it as a burn, just as we call a lake a loch. Burns run down our hillsides, are especially numerous in the west where its wetter, their water is often slightly brown from flowing through peat, and lots of springy mosses and lichens carpet their sides. Sitting by a burn listening to it gurgle over stones can be quite magical.
