Reedbeds unrippled in the evening calm
Insects danced over mirrored water
Layered reflections beneath lily-pads
Muted shades of green from banks
of reeds. Peach blossom seedheads
ripe and full, golden on the banks.
Movement catches the eye. Wigeon
wing-flapping amongst the lilies.
An hour passes. No words
required. Tranquil moments at peace
with life. With each other.
A smattering of rain drops
shimmer the water. The open
viewing platform dry, under
the foliage, the midges the only
by the flick of an otter's tail.
