Tanka: Joie de Vivre

Cairngorms National Park

 

wooden bridge across a burn on forest trail with blooming heather

 

irresistible
this call to explore
blind corners
in the warm heart of the glen
our eyes sparkle with stories

  17. That’s wonderful. We can learn so much about being in the world from our animal friends. Your haiku sparkles with that energy. Thanks so much for responding so quickly to the mid-week On the Road prompt.

    1. Thank you Marina, winters can be harsh in the Cairngorms and it is popular with people who enjoy wintersports and winter hiking. Each of the seasons brings its own beauty and challenges here and it is well worth a visit :o) xxx
