Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
the beach narrows
as the tide rolls in
slowly
the sky opens her curtains
restoring the day’s blue

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

Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Bloom
It has been a worrying weekend for many of us in the Highlands and other tourist destinations. Beauty spots in England, Wales and Scotland were swamped by visitors at a time when everyone has been asked to refrain from non-urgent travel.
This morning the caravan parks have closed and most people are returning home. They have better medical support there than they would have in remote parts of the country.
We can understand that people want to visit their favourite places. If we all work together to flatten the curve, this will soon be possible again.
