Tanka: Echoes

a whippet in a winter jacket sniffing the stones and rocks exposed at low tide
a black whippet in a winter jacket walking across the shingle on the shore

beach comb
every stone a story
we salute
the roots that grow
towards the flowing water

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words dear Mary 💗 There’s some snow remaining on the rocks in these images and more snow has fallen since. It’s still cold and around -10C at the moment. A wonderful weekend to you too from all of us here! 🤗💖 xxx
