Gentle lapping waters roll sequentially onto shore, like tiny crystals sparks, highlighted by the shining sun. Blackened tree stumps stand like soldiers on watch. A pelican, skims the surface of the lake, in search of tasty morsels lurking beneath murky waters. The lazy dog basking in the sun lifts an eyelid; Undisturbed, he resumes his peaceful nap. Camp fires send spiralling smoke puffs upwards, carried away with the wind, followed by another smoke signal. The sandy banks, with mounds of trodden turrets lay in wait, for creatures on dusk patrol seeking nightly nourishment. The setting sun slowly sinks, sending sliver shimmers across the lake. Again, nightfall descends. Another day closes.
