Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
sharing our journey
through the grass
a lone goose

I was at first concerned when I saw the Greylag goose on her own and was later assured by other walkers that a large flock had landed half an hour earlier in the grass behind her.
Wishing you all a happy Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,

ah the sound
of small waves breaking
each day
still bright enough
to follow a dream

Jez Braithwaite’s Water Water Everywhere #160
The holidays are coming up and whether you want to walk in the snow before it melts away, looking for rabbits …
… or take it easy, snoozing under a warm fleece blanket, dreaming of rabbits …
… we wish all of you who celebrate a blessed Christmas and magical holidays.
We will return here on Thursday 29 December with a special post, where we look back at 2022 with gratitude and love.
A happy Monday to you all and a peaceful week ahead,
with love from Misty and Xenia xxx

to shine her radiant light

Tanka Thursday: Wait
Word of the Day Challenge: Hope
Most of the forecast rain blows over and we take a chance to head for the coast. Misty sniffs the marram grass, already turning gold in places. We navigate our way through the dunes, following a trail of boot and paw prints. Side by side we pause where the light bursts through the clouds, showing us a glimpse of blue.

oh may the fog lift
high enough so we can see
how you fly briefly
one smile after another
through the marram grass

Tanka Thursday: Lift
Lens-Artists Weekly Photo Challenge #220: One Subject Three Ways
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.
