Diamonds on the water

Celebrating solstice and a day of wraparound sunshine, Little Yoni canoe and I take to the water at Lake Caballo.

Cranes fill the sky as we launch.

Flotillas of little quacky black ducks are unperturbed by our passing.

Herons stand sentinel.

Diamonds dance on the water illuminating a Volodymyr Zelenskyy colour palette.

A quiet, secretly exquisite experience of the northern Chihauhauan desert in winter.
