I spent a couple days at Occoneechee State Park on the shores of the John H Kerr Reservoir (Virginia's largest lake). This is one of the greatest fishing spots in the commonwealth of Virginia, most of the other cabins were occupied by families or couples who were there to fish.
We went out for the late afternoon/early evening bite, and did a bit of trolling. Apparently the best spot to catch a creel-full of crappies is under the bridge pilings. We spent some time over there, and having just missed the sunset the night before as I dashed out to the water's edge with my camera only to see a fiery ball drop down below the horizon, I was well equipped this time to catch more than a glimpse of the day passing into night.
The book I am currently reading isPlover bird,a shorebird that makes one of the greatest annual transoceanic migration on earthfrom Hawaii to Alaska. He explains some of the Plovers extrasensory abilities, or enhanced senses compared to humans and proclaims how amazing it would be to be privy to creation as is the Plover.
I was at Virginia State Park soon.

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. " –R Tagore. The water was glass, a boat zipped past and what you see is the reflection of the sky and clouds that look like waves
