embraced by reeds
a breeze ripples the water
in this heatwave
a shaded rock offers a seat
covered in grateful glances

This beautiful green & blue still reminds me of our Beaver Lake…at Lost Lagoon, we have non-resident turtles that would appreciate the shade on a heat-wave laden day!

These places are located at the edge of Vancouver in the most glorious urban forest…we are so blessed…as I type this note I can see parts of the lagoon from my windows!
