Heading south, to look for Spring
Winging it, once more.
Dawn’s rays on the horizon
Above molten skies
This was going to be my Thursday post (minus the six words header) but I got distracted. It’s still appropriate, because I’m off to the Algarve on Monday. I will be posting a short walk first, partly to remind you that I’ve gone, but mostly because I hate to keep my contributors to Jo’s Monday walk waiting till I get back.
Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to pop in on Cate at Show My Face with your six words. I won’t be here next weekend. I wonder… does this qualify as a Vibrant start to the day?





I hope you find it. We are experiencing warm(er) weather here this weekend.
