Silver Ice
The thaw, and then the frost, made for a scene of silver ice up at the loch yesterday. It’s still very cold, but milder temperatures are supposed to arrive this week. And, personally, the next few days will be more hectic, so the daily blogs may be at their end. I’ve really enjoyed writing them, and may return to this practice again at some point.
Review
I stumbled across a new review for SISTERS this week on the blog My Little Hawk: “If you’re like me and you also want to allow a book to paint the most vivid and beautiful images in your mind and be transported to another place and time, please spare some time to read this book. You’ll notice its powerful magic from page one.” See the whole review here.

Hey, Ailish, I just wrote my daily post (my 1006th one!) and shared how I was coming to the end of this practice, then I read this post of yours and I thought, what a coincidence, a synchronicity. You write beautiful posts, and share beautiful photos, and here’s to you finding a new format, new frequency, or whatever, as the year closes and 2023 opens the door to her possibilities xx
Wow, 1006 days is quite a roll! I hope you adjust to a new way of being too 🙂
Again, all I can say is, “BRRRRR!”
That is exactly how it is, today 🙂
Congratulations on your latest review!
Thank you, Liz 🙂
You’re welcome, Ailish.
Beautiful pictures, Ailish, and a great review! 🙂
I have been blessed to have such thoughtful people read my books.
Nice reminders that you are not alone!
Indeed!
OMG! Thank you so much! 😀
Thank you for the great review 🙂
I read the opening passages to ‘Sisters at the Edge of the World’. Wow. Lyrical. If I should wish to wax so poetic, I would surely have to 1) Write in first person and, 2) Summon a spirit guide.
I often look at my own writing, third-person, sparse on purpose, tuned for brisk pacing, and wonder if I shouldn’t try to work that kind of magic into it.
I think each story has its own voice and style. This one is quite different from my others. All the best with your own 🙂
looking forward to reading SISTERS, which I just uploaded.
I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Lovely photos, the winter can be beautiful too.
It really can.
Beautiful photos. The scenery is amazing. That frozen loch is enchanting.
I do love it.
A merry Christmas and a happy New Year and the best wishes for 2023!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the beauty of silver ice and deer prints. It’s always wonderful to take a moment to appreciate the natural world around us, and your words serve as a reminder to slow down and take in the beauty of the season. Keep sharing your insights and experiences with the world.
Thank you. I will 🙂
Beautiful reviews Ailish. I just love your pictures…
