Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
salted by tides
like they always have
– ancient rocks

Wishing you all a happy Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,

Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in May 2023 (fibrous, mottled, natural)
CMMC: May Alphabet – Any Word with an i (whippet, herring gull, sail)
Word of the Day Challenge: Gradual
The wind is picking up as the tide flows out between rocks, exposing seagrass, bladderwrack and multi-coloured stones washed up from the river. A fishing boat heads west. The gulls that follow pour out high notes in excitement.
Rain is falling across the water. This side of the firth is still dry. We know that happy feeling that stirs inside when we are given extra time to enjoy these smells and sounds a little longer.
