Clouds above Kirk Yetholm ...

As we followed Bowmount Water towards Kirk Yetholm, I glanced upwards at the clouds  - 

Above Crookedshaws Hill, a vast wolf stretched out its vaporous paws -

Giants dissolved into misty chaos above Wideopen Hill - 

The sky darkened - 

Three swifts fell from heaven - 

Two noble horses with long curving eyelashes gazed out over the valley - 

A butterfly with wings of delicate brocade danced above the grass - 

I remembered the blue eyes of the man walking to John O Groats in memory of his wife -
