A seasonal haiku from Aberdeen


Short and sweet today, combining the LLB Gang's Nature Friday with YAM-aunty's Final Friday Feature


Spring is an old car
Sputtering into action
Spark plugs needing cleaned...


PS All photos taken within minutes of each other at the mouth of Aberdeen harbour on Wednesday afternoon, the first two looking out to the North Sea and the second two looking back over the harbour and city.

    1. Gail does have a car, ten years old, and I love riding in it. Fortunately it is, so far, a reliable starter.
      Toodle-oo!
      Nobby.

    😁An interesting, contrasting, and quite magnificent display of a Scottish spring day. Well, any Scottish day really... Well done, Nobby. Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx (who is grateful to Gail for your 'voice')

  5. We love lighthouses. The first pics look so friendly and then comes the cold and hurry inside before it rains photos. Nature can change quickly on us, especially on the water.

  7. NOBBY and Gail what a wonderful Haiku from the Harbor at Aberdeen.
    Perfectly described what we saw in 3 lines. Nobby I might have giggled at sparks plug need cleaning. Did you get a dip in the sink when you returned home?

  8. For a moment we thought that the last two photos were black and white! Then we saw the colour of your fur Nobby. What a contrast between the first two photos and the last two. Your weather does change quickly!
