rain drops in shadows
ducks playing under the bridge
river Sarca
that cloudy morning
walking along the river
wet leaves and cobwebs
companionable
the silence and the chatter
bubbling water
ripples in the flow
moments of encounter
serenity

I miss that…in the country…or a small town like where I grew up midday it was so quiet…you could hear a ripple here and there when the fish jumped in the river.
