    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Mabel, it’s lovely when that happens 🙂🧡 We’re relatively safe here whilst tourists aren’t allowed to visit the Highlands and are being well looked after. Hope you are keeping safe and well too 💜 xxx

  6. Lovely pictures and Haiku, as always. I do wonder what circumstances “planted” that piece of driftwood. It just doesn’t seem possible from a simply tide. Anyway, one of my favorite finds on the beach is driftwood. I love to see how the water has shaped it and smoothed out all of the rough spots.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Vicky, it’s lovely to see how the water smoothes and brightens the wood. It looks as if someone lifted this driftwood tree and planted it upright with the sand drifts steadying it in place. Enjoy your weekend and please give Tippy a big pat from us all 🤗💖🐕 xxx
