Two stories: Dartmoor and the Dales

I've caught a little bug and won't be back in the office for another day or two...but in the mean time, please enjoy these photographs by my friend Helen Mason of two very beautiful parts of England, north and south. The pictures above were taken near here on Dartmoor (at Hound Tor), on a rainy day this past weekend. The pictures below are of the Yorkshire Dales (in the north of England), taken back in March, at the cusp of spring.

“There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.” -- Linda Hogan

Ssssh. Listen. The hills are telling their tales.
