The view was crisp and clear the next morning, with sheep.   (Click for Large)

Zoomed in to see the home, far sheep, and lake.

Near sheep.

Complete wide angle.

Twist-n-shout hydrangea.

We passed this lake on our drive to Coniston Water.

Same lake.

The Lake District has cattle in addition to sheep, but far fewer.

Ducks at Coniston Water.

Two older gentlemen sailed this away just before we boarded the steam gondola at an adjacent dock.

Andy and Mary in the bow of the gondola as I sat across from them.

Some of the shoreline as we motored toward our destination: John Ruskin's home.

Andy kindly took my picture with Maddie and Barbara just before arriving at the John Ruskin Pier.

Barbara leads the way up the hill to John Ruskin's.
