Aberdeen City Beach, March 2023
Snow flurries and sun and a trip to the shore,
A perfect chance to exercise one’s Right to Roam,
The tail-wagging pup is now free to explore,
The vast stretch of beach is all his to comb.
White caps on the waves are a-glint in the sun,
There’s pieces of driftwood to closely survey.
Then all of a sudden, and fast, the dog runs,
His nose is alerted, his lithe limbs obey.
The human’s distracted, too late she pays heed,
And cries “come Nobby, COME”, and more loudly again.
But he’s more than her match when he turns on the speed,
And he reaches his goal, all her shouting in vain.
What a glorious prize, what treasure lies here!
What once was a seal is now part-decomposed.
Oh please give the dog a chance to roll and smear
His furs. This scent's much sweeter than a rose…
Happy Nature Friday friends, and once again thanks to our LLB Gang friends for hosting this our favourite blog hop. And readers please be assured that the Aberdeenshire coast is home to a sizeable population of live and healthy seals.
