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