The Tranquility Of The Evening
The tranquility of the evening seduces awareness to the stillness of the water surface. As gentle breezes die down, rolling waves lose their momentum and flatten out. A solitary loon echos from the distant shore.
As I sit on the familiar large boulder half submerged in the water, observing the bending light of the setting sun, I listen to the mystic sounds of natures creatures welcoming the stars to illuminate the darkness of a clear night sky.
Pine fragrance fills the air around me - an otter swims quietly nearby. Swallows fly above my head chasing each other.
Natures beauty is relaxing where ever you are.
