Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
The tides have been very high, leaving driftwood close to the dunes where it gets covered by soft sand.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

the tide turns to prayer
accepting the sun
with love and light as signposts

The strong winds have carried more driftwood to the beach. Some branches are chopped up and taken away to dry out for wood burners and open fires. Other pieces have been used to build shelters and huts along the beach. It brings a bit of joy and surprise whilst we are in lockdown.
