Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
wandering breeze
she sighs into ripples
of a tidal burn
between cottages and cliffs
a small dog sniffs the rocks

Wishing you all a happy Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,

Sunday Stills: June is Great Outdoors Month
Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge: Cool
Misty is smiling from ear to ear as she zooms on the beach where we spent our first holiday together. It is a year ago today that she walked into our lives and came to stay as our forever foster.
Death had swept past and taken loved ones away from both our lives and chance carried a light we recognised the moment our eyes met. For that, I will always be grateful.

A warm-hearted thank you for all your good wishes for Misty’s 13th birthday, which we celebrated on 28 May. We had a lovely time away and created many new memories.
It is also good to be back home, remember Eivor and Pearl and celebrate the journeys we shared.
Wishing you all a happy Monday and a peaceful rest of the week,

Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in May 2023 (fibrous, mottled, natural)

Word of the Day Challenge: Gradual
The wind is picking up as the tide flows out between rocks, exposing seagrass, bladderwrack and multi-coloured stones washed up from the river. A fishing boat heads west. The gulls that follow pour out high notes in excitement.
Rain is falling across the water. This side of the firth is still dry. We know that happy feeling that stirs inside when we are given extra time to enjoy these smells and sounds a little longer.

becomes part of us too

on the outside and the inside
dreams our world
