It's the Spring holiday and nature is in abundance while we are carefully maintaining our social distance.

​

​

Today at Portobello, the beauty of the neap tide, the damp chill of the haar, and the predictable presence of the cormorant cheered me as I walked on the  ridged sands of the sea bed.

​

​

Looking forward to more sociable times again when the tide has turned on this unwelcome virus.

Distance

​

​

The moon-drawn water

Gifts us distance,

Wet-sand-space

To wander

While aloft -

In its accustomed place -

The cormorant

Holds sway.
