A potter, a pootle, a brief breath of fresh air, fifty feet apart, a wave hello over there! My limbs still heavy from flu need rest and self-care. #weewalks #wildsoulwalks #StayAtHome #Edinburgh #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #shells #daffodils #spring

SOUND ON 🔊🔊 They nest unseen after rain, hail, and sleet. Tawny and drab, but host angels in their throats. A quarrel and flutter, safe in branches and knots. #howmanywordsforsparrows #wildsoulwalks #naturewriting #naturephotography #naturewalks #birdsongwalks #worklifebalance #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #birdwatcher #birder #birdsofinstagram #sparrows #sparrowsofinstagram

Hafrun finds us on the shore. We measure her thirty year span of velvet and bone. In our palms we cup her and carry her home, where she will drift, then sink into the silt like a stone. #oceanquahog #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #shells #seashells #beachcombingfinds

How old is this shell, in its blush of jade and teal? What stories shall it tell, when I cup it to my ear? Will it hold safe my secrets and the tears that I have wept, or let them fly on the wind so that I can forget? #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #ig_scotland #walkingscotland #instapoets #poetry

I wander in the blue hours, beneath candy and bluebell skies and a snow-white moon. Puffs of my breath follow sanderlings and oystercatchers, history of lives past under my feet. #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #beachcombing

The lights are low and the blanket warm. A book on my lap, one by my side. Wind in the chimney, dusk birdsong in the trees. A car horn, a distant train. My partner returning with food he will cook and we will eat. We made it through 2019, everyone. #HappyChristmas 🎄#gratitude #hope #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #WritingCommunity #writerslife

In midwinter, Venus arrives at four o' clock, when streetlights glitter through trees and amber windows gleam. She flickers above our footprints which shine then fade as we hurry home. She keeps safe our slumber until the pale #WinterSolstice dawn. #wildsoulwalks #naturewriting #naturephotography #naturewalks #worklifebalance #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland

My December grief returns on the wings of sanderlings that weave along the shore. I crunch across a flight path of dropped, smashed clams, broken halves tramped into mud. There is beauty in what remains I will find it again. #hope #wildsoulwalks #besidetheseaside #beachwalks #Edinburgh #naturewalks #naturephotography #naturewriting #relaxation #mentalhealth #metime #wellness #coorie #Scotland #walkingscotland #walksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #walking #LoveScotland #thisisedinburgh #Edinburghlife #Edinburghstory #hiddenscotland #insta_scotland #thisisscotland #ig_scotland #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poemsofinstagram #poetry
