Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
sea breeze
glittering through the trees
a new horizon

Jez Braithwaite’s Water Water Everywhere #153
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.

Lens-Artists Weekly Photo Challenge #224: Exposure
Jez Braithwaite’s Water Water Everywhere #151
It is almost a month ago when we first met Misty. The morning after she moved in we went on a short break to a small village further along the coast. She had been on day-trips with her family before, but never on holiday. It was a blessing to have this quiet time to get to know each other. And Misty loved it.
When we returned home there were vet visits and blood tests and since then, our bond has only strengthened. We admire Misty for her spirit, the way she seems to understand and read us, the way she fits into our lives so easily. The ripples can be felt when love walks where we walk, sails with all who sail beyond our sheltered bay.
