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

woodland pond
all day its darkness
holds the sun
in her light a siskin’s song
flits above the treetops

Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Destiny
turning into the wood from the old
carriage route where trees breathe through
knots and leaves teaming with bird song
our inner child begins to smile
~ by a stone hopscotch spiral ~
with footprints of fairy folk,
squirrel, pine marten, hare,
badger and sika deer whose presence
we are always feeling
