Yellowcraigs: a sunny day in Scotland

Morwenna

Wide sands, wind-blown dunes.

Sea water ripples softly

Under cloud-flecked blue.

 

Sunshiny picnic

Two ice-cream cones – 99s.

Sleepy afternoon.

    A lovely picture to go with your ideal idea for a couple of fine haikus and thank you for sharing them here Morwenna - -- I could feel that warm sand beneath my feet.

  • Morwenna

    Oh thank you! Only, this being Scotland in June, the sand wasn't that warm! But I'm not complaining!

  • Blueledge

    You're reminding me how much I miss those long summer days the further north you are. The years I lived in Bute, the summer nights were glorious. Seemed to go on forever.
    Make the most of it.
    Winter is never far away. 🙂

    • Morwenna

      Yes- and today is the longest day. Light, pretty much until 11.00. I love it too. The consolation for it being the solstice - it might now get warmer.

      99p cones
      oh, that takes me back
      thank you! what a gentle nudge
      you gave to forgotten memories
      shook them loose
      and let me dwell, a little
      in those sweet days, once again
      (the power and gifts
      of words, is truly limitless)

        Thank you LB! I think we bought 99s partly for old times' sake, as you say.
