Today's freewrite came out as a series of haiku poems about swimming with dolphins! My immediate thoughts were about the wild bottlenose dolphins which frequent the waters around Buckie, my home town in Scotland.

Aww this was so nice and refreshing. Some day maybe my son, husband and I will swim with the dolphins.
I did it once, but in a contained area of the sea in the Bahamas. It was fun!
I have been swimming with dolphins once in my life but was way young so I would love to do it again 😆 lol
Amazing picture and great writing.
Thanks! I wouldn't mind doing it again too.
I belive you 😉 dolphins are amazing!
Have a wonderful evening dear 🤗
I really enjoyed reading this and that’s an awesome photo you took!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the read and the photograph. :-)
Dolphins are awesome! Great free write.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great photo shoot..I love it's being abstract and the sense of motion :-) I liked the haiku too (especially the first one). I should write some too, they're so nicely zen.
Thanks. Sometimes I think in rhythm. Maybe it has to do with growing up by the sea. :-) Glad you like my photo too. It has always been a favorite of mine because of the motion in it!
I love dolphins and love this poem
I love them too. Thanks! :-)
Your photos, as always, are amazing!! I hope that many will buy some from you. And I had no idea that there are dolphins around Scottland. I thought they liked warmer waters....

I think there are many breeds of dolphin. The bottlenose is famous off Scotland's north-east coast. The largest school of dolphins in the UK is in the Moray Firth!
I wished I join the freewrite yesterday. Good haiku.
Wonderful! You expressed such feeling!
Thank you 🙂!
