Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera

from the water

Wishing you all a blessed Thursday, a happy start to December and a peaceful rest of the week,
with love from Misty and Xenia xxx

filled with song from places

after the storm
men gather
with bent backs and rusty saws

Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word (Quotidian, Solitary)
The tides have been very high, leaving driftwood close to the dunes where it gets covered by soft sand.
