not the end of the world...

obviously

but there was a moment this morning when everything seemed to stop, to be still, like a held breath. There was no wind at all and no movement of the water. Everywhere was uniformly grey, and hushed.
I was driving home from Baltimore and the estuary and the river were stunning with reflections, a mirrorworld.

This is the Ilen river just below Deelish, looking upstream towards Skibbereen.

Later the rain came....
