Summer in Scotland

In Shetland it’s the simmer dim a name that shimmers like the light that hovers between not yet dark and not yet light. Summer edging forward, vibrant colours fill our skies sunsets of fire, never tire. Scottish summers, not about heat. But about abundance of stunning views of soft whispering breezes. It’s the machair defining the boundary of beach and sea. Birds call a welcome, gulls riding the currents. I miss walking our velvet paths nothing to mind but the passing of time and the indulgence of the season. I miss walking.
