We never made it to this part of Virginia - another time! There's a Kilmarnock in Scotland but it's nothing like as pretty. Great presentation with the quotes.

One day I would like to visit the "real" Kilmarnock just so I could compare it with ours. :)
DeleteBeautiful photos! Love the dog's coloring!
ReplyDeleteThanks! She's a beaut. :)
DeleteBeautiful. Makes me miss Virginia that much more...
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful place to call home! I wish I could spend more time on the Northern Neck; it's just so pretty.
DeleteLike that one about the dog barking at the crow :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks! I'm a huge fan of Much Ado About Nothing and couldn't resist sneaking in that snarky quote!
DeleteYour photos are amazing! Virginia is one of my favorite states. Thanks for popping by the blog earlier. Your dog is adorable & I love your bathing suit!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D
DeleteHello Katrina!! I love the passages/quotes you chose to accompany these pictures :)
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with Shakespeare! Although as a former English major, I may be a little biased.... :)
DeleteLove the mix of the Shakespeare quote with the photos! So funny, I've been to Kilmarnock, Scotland ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I'd love to visit someday, even if just to compare the two!
DeleteI love Shakespeare and I love your beautiful photographs - thanks for sharing this lovely area!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I LOVE sharing photos of the Northern Neck; it's one of the most beautiful places in Virginia!
DeleteSuch a great idea. I love quotes and your photos go so well with them! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was inspired by the first quote and figured I'd go with a Shakespearean theme. :)
