Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales

Swinging on a porch in the Smokey Mountains. 
Floating down the Guadalupe River on a hot,Texas day.
Walking through a field of bluebonnets. 
Wiggling your toes in the white sand and crystal, clear water of Caribbean beach.  

There are just certain places where you feel more connected and "clicked in" to the world around you.
This island is full of places like that.  The colors, sounds and smells are like a big cuddle with nature.  I've mentioned before it's like a big green and blue fluffy quilt that I just want to wrap around me.  I can't get enough.  

Our last stop in Yorkshire was the grand, old ruins of Bolton Abbey
and this is another one of those places. 













 

 

Acres of green, a babbling river, miles of footpaths, majestic ruins of the priory all in the "heart of the Yorkshire Dales."   We spent a few hours just exploring and taking pictures.
We will definitely be going back to Yorkshire for some more exploration.

What place would you like to wrap around you like a blanket?
