Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey

CFFC: Would Make a Friend Happy
World War Two defences along our coast are tilting and sinking into tidal sands. Blocks of cement filled with local stone were here to stop tanks arriving via ship and water. After the war, these lines were left here, just in case. Today, some are used to rest towels of swimmers and surfers. Others become picnic tables or a shelter from the wind. When you touch them with your hand you feel the vibration of wind and waves, the pulse of the earth in the local stone. There is a lot to be grateful for when we remember all those who helped us live in peace.

a stream flows out

Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Adventure
the day opens a new book
of sights, scents and sounds
for the eternally curious
canines we adopted
~ or is it the other way around? ~
who is walking who on any
given day when we take turns
to guide and follow a spark
that bounces from the stars?

wolf dog –
when clouds speak of rain
her eyes flicker
as sunlight shifts sideways
along summer waves

Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Coalesce
Summer is in full swing and tourists bring a bit of buzz to the beach. There are kites in the air and paddle boarders on the water. Wild-swimmers wade through the shallows with orange inflatables. We slip away to where nature makes the only sound. The gentle lapping of waves, the chant of oystercatchers piping.
