After the rain


I know that people wax lyrical about the ever changing nature of water views, but after the rain comes the muddy silt laden stream, and after that for a week or so we are treated to a perfectly clear tannin stained river, the colour of dark tea.   In bright sunlight the sand peers up at us with a sort of milky tone, but when the sun disappears the water takes on a certain inky blackness.   
All manner of creatures hide beneath a slick silver skin.
Even the detritus from the careless gardeners upstream seems to add to the poetry.

  1. You're not bad in the waxing-lyrical stakes yourself.

  2. "Lyrical Wax" - sounds like the sort of depilatory product that would work on the tough jobs!

Thanks for taking the time to comment, please leave your name if you post "anonymously" so I can guess who you are! I do attempt to respond, but my goodness I'm a slacker!

I'm sorry I've had to turn word verification on for a bit - hopefully a few days will be enough - because of a bit of a problem with spam!
