The early morning breeze is invigorating, the surf behind us roars. Eivor and Pearl shimmy between scattered seaweed, branches peeled from drifting trees. Seagulls are feasting on crabs, before the curlew get here.

  3. You always take such fabulous action photos, Xenia, and Eivor and Pearl always look so happy. I love your haibun-quadrille, the sounds in the title, the roaring surf, and the sibilance in ‘’Eivor and Pearl shimmy between scattered seaweed. I was there with you by the sea too wild for fishing.
