I walked along the river bank near my home this morning. The sun was shining and the air was fresh and sweet. I was enjoying this wonderful sunny weather and the delicious fragrance from the heather, floating on the breeze. This gave me the inspiration to write this haiku in celebration of calluna.

sheep track
The crofters graze their sheep on the “common grazing ground”, through the old cattle gate. There is a track made by the sheep, as they weave through the heather.
"Love Skye-Love Nature-Love Life"
Skyenatureblog.com provides an artistic journey through the seasons, describing the natural beauty of the island through, prose, poetry, art, photographs and videos. I hope to give readers a taste of the Skye experience.
I hope you enjoy the journey
The Isle of Skye has dramatic mountains, wild glens and amazing seascapes; it offers a varied wilderness for free spirits. There is an abundance of hidden places full of native trees, wildflowers and wildlife to enjoy, in peace and tranquility. This sensational Island changes constantly through the seasons, with wild Atlantic storms, snowy mountains and balmy Summer nights with spectacular skies. The Summer wildflowers provide a colourful feast for insects, which feed the many species of songbirds, both native and Summer visitors.
Lovely!! 🌸🙌🏼🌿
