Trees Smeared Into Water’s Edges

Wind: 2-3mph from SW
OC: 8

Breathtaking deep blue green water
Highest water level in 2 years
-Clear as a pool
Fuchsia pink butterfly bushes starting to emerge
Two hunting green herons disperse with my approach
Turtle chomps on floating fish
Blue Heron lifts from the banks
Turtles slide from rocks
Dragonflies – every color and size
-Bronze, black-striped, iridescent blues
Trees smeared into water’s edges
Silent floating geese relax in afternoon sun
Turtles float casually up to blue-green surface
Gentle intermittent breeze sparkles water
Shadows of paddlefish
Vibrant red rose bush from the banks of green
Ripples left by Purple Martin sips
Cracking splash of jumping fish
Wind picks up, lifting luscious scents
Shimmering Waters
