Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
fleeting world –
gulls and oystercatchers feed
in the lagoon
there are treasures to be found
at this special hour

Wishing you all a happy Monday and a peaceful new week,
with love from Misty and Xenia xxx

Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in August 2022 – Lagoon, Shoreward
in grey-blue light after the rain
the day starts gently on the sands
where we pause and gaze at
the glittering retreating sea
~ with the flow of the wind ~
we keep each other safe
through attentiveness and love
between columns draped with tooted wrack
we find an overabundance of treasures

sea air –
in illness and in health
this comfort
soon carries beyond the blue
of sky and misty mountains

We hope you all had a lovely Hogmanay, even though it would have been a bit different.
The traditional Hogmanay Ceilidh on BBC Alba was also different, with the singers and musicians linking up remotely rather than playing together in one venue.
Below is a video of one of those performances, which has a magic all of its own and unique for these times:
We wish you all a blessed and abundant New Year!
