Dusk is a short-lived real place not to be missed; thank you for reminding me of its treasures.
Thanks so much Ruth, Alan, Vida and Helen! Your comments are all very appreciated.

John,
I liked how you used "we" to include the rowboat as a partner in your experience. A very haiku-like thought. Excellent work! o/ Jane
Absolutely lovely, John!
A quiet, peaceful moment out on the water. Thanks for the trip!
Lovely, John. I like the surprise of <floating> — a moment when you stop rowing and just take in the scene. . . . Very evocative.

Thank you for the depth of floating!
What a lovely one, John. The narrator is totally at one with the world.
