Fields also were filled with water and streams full and raging...a dramatic change in weather from the last week. The pebbles are indeed, amazing. Looking at the cliffs, it's easy to visualize how many of the rocks eroded out of them, becoming the beach. (I think.) It must be a paradise here for a geologist - wish I knew more! Many thanks for your comment. Duncan.<br /><br />Hi L,<br /><br />I need folks like you to keep me in line! Haha. You'd like a red stone, eh? I'm sure it would be OK to bring one home - each is a small natural wonder. Quite astonishing really.

What you have said is very true and I do think it is important to find balance between stillness and movement. I have to agree with you about those who do find pleasure in movement. People who are active are more physically fit and healthier and therefore are happier, giving off more positive energy. Mindful meditation in movement could be just as helpful as "sitting meditation" I suppose.<br />Happy travels and can you bring a red stone home with you?<br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-80948018666231186312012-10-12T11:45:23.911+01:002012-10-12T11:45:23.911+01:00Great images of the amazing pebbles of the Angus c...Great images of the amazing pebbles of the Angus coast - hope you managed to batten down before the forecast heavy rain!<br /><br />Kind Regards<br /><br />Ian Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130778756061507141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-11165095017085808562012-10-12T08:35:09.393+01:002012-10-12T08:35:09.393+01:00Thank you for that, L.

Thoreau was one such person and he is greatly uplifting and positive. Sometimes (probably often) my words don't express exactly what they are intended to express. And, admittedly, I need to learn to "be" still. :) Duncan.Duncan and Joan Barwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696525297637660026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-8533386897519028192012-10-11T21:59:30.947+01:002012-10-11T21:59:30.947+01:00Hi D & J

Certainly don't get that vibrant red over here. <br />You know us folks that like to "sit and just "be" may not always be the most uplifting and positive people but hey we've got our own strengths! :)<br />Enjoyed the blog and pics.<br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
