Sarah is a British eccentric who writes offbeat fiction, haiku and tanka poetry. When stuck for words, she sketches or paints instead. She's into nature conservation, sustainability, gardening, dogs, natural health, and reading. Her sociability is something that happens in short bursts with long breathing spaces in between.

I love the word choices here, Sarah, from estuary to coalesce and still river. How magical! And, as far as illusions, for a second there, I thought the (sheep?) on the far shore were the jumping fish.
The fish were beautiful and I’ve never seen such silver ones glistening like that in the sun. The water is very clean there, so I guess they’re bursting with health and vitality. Only wish that I could have photographed them jumping!
