Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
under the roof
of leaves and dappled light
a forest welcome
bearing blessings for all to share
this sacred world we walk in

Wishing you all a blessed Tuesday!
With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

the stillness of trees
the wind picks up where she left
