An Extraordinary Afternoon

Christina8

A gentle sun peeks from the clouds

as we go in the water to wade

We hurry to our favorite spot

before the afternoon begins to fade

 

No swimming for me today

Not warm enough to take the dive

This place ~ surrounded by sand 

dunes, makes me feel so alive!

 

Minnows flash over my feet

and a dragonfly speeds by me

Natures majesty is in this place

An afternoon extraordinary!

          Your pen paints the picture of paddling with minnows so clearly I could feel my toes being tickled Christina. A perfectly lovely read.
