herring gulls
in the cold air
their cries
drop down a semitone
towards the sea

I’m thinking I need to visit the beach as your photos are so beckoning and beautiful! I’m lucky it’s not too far of a drive to the beach here but it would take a little planning. I hope you have a wonderful week and give Eivor and Pearl a big pat from all of us here! 💞🐾🤗🥰

Gulls are fascinating and mischievous. Their cries lend such a solemn, contemplative feeling to the ocean shore. Lovely verse and photos as always, Xenia! Have a good week ahead. 🙂
