Haibun: Morning Star

When we posted The Yellow Ball on Tuesday a few people asked ‘What happened next?’ Eivor and Pearl are chasing a yellow ball along the loch shore. It flies through the air, bounces off an exposed tree root and rolls towards the water. For two whippets running at 35mph the hunt is real. Eivor is leading, with Pearl closeby in case their ‘prey’ gets away. It is a team effort. The joy afterwards is shared.

Haibun: Taste Of Spring

Through leafless trees we see a tiny silhouette, a tilted head, a glint in the eye of one who is watching. The sand feels soft and deep where the loch retreats. We are grateful for a break between the snows of this long Winter.
