Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
After a frosty night, the sun warms the day. The light shines through leafless trees, glitters in the brown heather. A sandy trail meanders through gorse and pine towards the sea.
gentle breeze
a wagtail darts in and out
of the shadows

happiness
the seamless flow
in letting go
when frost that starts at night
melts when the sun rises
