Silence spreads like a wordless prayer. The lake breathes slowly, as time dissolves along the line where water meets sky. Nothing asks for haste.

There is an invisible dialogue between she and the horizon – a conversation that needs no sound, only presence. The tree, stripped of its leaves, understands. It bends with the wind but stands tall, holding secrets that winter cannot erase.

The bench is not just a place to rest but a space where thoughts drift lightly, dancing between what is and what once was. Solitude, here, does not weigh heavy. It spreads like light over the water, turning every absence into a poem.

At the lake’s edge, what feels missing becomes whole.

***

O silêncio se espalha como uma prece sem palavras. O lago respira devagar, enquanto o tempo se dissolve na linha onde a água encontra o céu. Nada pede pressa.

Há um diálogo invisível entre ela e o horizonte – uma conversa que não precisa de som, apenas de presença. A árvore, despida de folhas, entende. Ela se curva com o vento, mas permanece de pé, guardando segredos que o inverno não apaga.

O banco não é só um lugar de descanso, mas um espaço onde pensamentos flutuam leves, dançando entre o agora e o que já foi. A solidão, aqui, não pesa. Ela se espalha como luz sobre a água, transformando cada ausência em um poema.

Na margem do lago, o que falta se torna inteiro.

It was very quiet this afternoon wit a strange stillness in the air! This was the only person I came across walking along the beach despite the fact we have had a beautiful sunny day!

In awe of the kingfisher's elegance and precision. This stunning bird, with its vibrant colours and keen eye, reigns supreme over rivers and streams. Patiently perched, it waits for the perfect moment to dive and capture its prey. Nature never fails to amaze with its beauty and balance. Captured in a moment of calm before action, this kingfisher embodies both grace and power
