Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
passing clouds
our hearts still walk
on the sunny side
collecting light and sharing it
wherever it is needed

Wishing you all a happy Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx
