Aah... this post was like a ginormous cuddle, Snook. I was right there with you, wading through the long grasses to the creek's edge. Delighting in the senses... the cool water - that quenches thirsts like only the icy flowing water from a natural stream can... the riverbank that makes the perfect sun lounger, and the smoothness of precious pebbles, being turned over in one's hand - treasure indeed. And yes! lol... getting one last look at the splendid colours ingrained on the surface before releasing nature's treasure back to itself. I guess I am still a child at heart... because this still feels like the perfect day to me. So beautifully captured, so beautifully written 💗

And... I'll tell you a little secret... some treasures I choose to hold on to... I tell the river that I will protect them and act as their guardian, if they will allow me to borrow them indefinitely hehe... They keep me grounded and connected to places (and people) that I love. 💗
