a stroll home in the sun following the river

After a tiring day at work, what pleasure it is to feel the sun on my skin. What a privilege to be able to walk along the shimmering river. The daffodils in bloom. Goldfinches chattering from the budding branches. Laughter among playing children. An elderly couple sit, her head resting on his shoulder with such tender ease. Walking into the chilly kiss of shade, only for the return of welcoming warmth. Smiles, all these smiling people.
