Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
east to west
in the warm wind
driftwood
filled with song from places
where a quiet bird listens

The willow trees and shorter pieces we saw on the beach reminded me of ‘Willow’ from Spell Songs, so here is some music for you today too:
Wishing you all a blessed Monday and a peaceful new week,

after the storm
men gather
with bent backs and rusty saws
we help pick up the pieces

The tides have been very high, leaving driftwood close to the dunes where it gets covered by soft sand.

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.
