Reeds

Strolling along beside the river, I was taken with these backlit reeds. I tried to hide the globe of the sun behind the reeds, but the sunlight bled through and round.

This evening I swam one length for each year of my life, plus another 12 lengths on top.  There will come a time when, in the alloted time, I will only be able to swim a length for each year of my life with no extras.  From then on I suspect it will be a rapid downhill slope!
