Last night Travalon and I went for a boat ride back into the
marsh, and it was so beautiful in the golden evening light, full of blooming lotuses and those tiny
dragonflies I have heard called damselflies. Tons of them landed on me. Lots of
swallows were darting around overhead, and I saw one that looked like it was
being chased by a big dragonfly, but I think they just happened to be flying
the same direction. We also saw a majestic blue heron that made a very loud, strange sound like a strangled dog. Suddenly the boat's motor stopped because it was clogged with
weeds; Travalon pulled the weeds off the rotors, but the motor refused to
start. We paddled for twenty minutes, which is a good workout and burns quite a
few calories per my diet app, and then the motor cooperatively started up again
so we went out into the lake. The downtown looked so beautiful with the setting
sun reflecting off the buildings – a few of them looked like they were golden,
or even on fire. The water had pink and golden swirls reflected from the
sunset. I know there is a sunset every day, but I still never get over how
beautiful they are. And seeing them from the water is the best way to
appreciate them!
