This pattern is not for the faint of heart.  Getting started was a challenge as there was no place to tie off any color as it was only 1-2 stitches.  Counted over to a place where there were at least 3 stitches of same color and once done, I was able to work backwards to the top left to get started.  Otherwise it is a gorgeous scene like those of our younger vacation spots.  Can't wait to complete it.  Worth the difficult beginning and enjoyable to watch it develop.
