The way the kids cavort, jumping, splashing water and catching little fish in plastic bags.

The leaves that float in the water passing me by, which I will occasionally pick up to see their intricate pattern.

The Green, so vibrant, so many hues. lush and sparse at the same time.

Roots showing where the trees have been undercut by the current.

The eddy that I sit in cooling my body from the 41 celsius heat, while the faster current is farther from shore.

“I want to always be soaking into a prune when it gets that hot!”
