capturing
that very last second
as the sun slips
over the trees
floating on a boat
laying back
looking up
as day turns to night
soon
sky to stars
hot day to breeze
water lapping
so very slowly
sleep tempting
quiet calling.

when the weather is like it is – hot, humid, and sunny, it’s best to go slow… it’s a movement or lack of movement. go slow, slowly.

Victoria said it — a “wave of calm” came with that photo, and your description. I could almost feel the gentle rocking of the boat, hear the waves slapping the hull …
