weekly haikai challenge #43 afterglow

close up of a male mallard duck, a drop of water falling from his beak in the loch

evening glow
on rustling leaves, a castle
this dance with time
a pause in all our journeys
before we fly away

a mallard taking off from Loch an Eilein, the castle and hills shimmer in the evening glow

We wish you all a blessed and relaxing weekend.

With love from Xenia xxx
