Thank you Bjorn, it feels as if it stays lighter here for longer than where you are – I remember a November in Sweden when candles and fire places seemed to be lit all day ☺🔥

Mist is the perfect backdrop for Eivor. They don’t seem to mind the cooler weather. Hope it doesn’t get too cold too fast.

Thank you Vicky, they enjoy the outdoors in colder weather as it seems to hold and carry interesting scents for longer and there is so much to explore. They are not bothered by the cold as long as they have their winter coats and the weather stays dry 😉🐕🌞

Terrific words and pix – and google maps tells me where you were – yowch. Liked also that the haiku was neutral – with different
photos this could have been a spring-summer verse. Very nice.

Thank you so much for your kind words Peter and I agree it can apply to any changing season in nature or life. This haiku came to me while we were hiking through the clouds and it would have felt wrong to make it season-specific in the way some haiku rules dictate 😁

Thank you for your kind words Kim! Eivor and Pearl were glad to wear their Winter coats in the mountains – it was only 0C and we were walking through the clouds. Back on the coast it is a lot warmer still and they only need jumpers on the first walk of the day. I hope this nice warm weather holds for you and we wish you all a wonderful weekend too! :o) xxx
