In a moment

Following on from yesterday, I did indeed disappear upriver from Christchurch for a wee fish mid-afternoon.

No fish were harmed but with the nor'easterly breeze blowing across the river, I did catch the fisher/hunter a couple of times (such are my fly fishing skills ;-) He is patient and no harm was done to him either.

Unlike yesterday there was no vibrant sunset, more a brief glow as competing levels of cloud raced across the plains to obscure and flatten light.

There was literally a moment where the edges of a back water lit up.

The concerns of life flowed away with the river and I returned home to restful sleep.
