Up the road or down, sometimes further afield, often not for long, we're out most days.

Trédaniel plan d'eau, afternoon
The starry raft of water crowsfoot breaks the pattern of ripples the wind makes on the surface of the water, creating a still, smooth patch the small fish swim in.
I googled water crowfoot because I don't know this flower, and found beautiful images, including what looked like "floating rafts," as you described. How lovely! Makes the walk with you and Molly more real!
I have some good water crowsfoot photos from last year, I'll post them! It's a charming little plant, I didn't know what it was for a long time but found it eventually on a website. We wish we could grow it in our garden pond, but it probably either wouldn't thrive at all or would be horribly invasive as many water plants are.

Your words always paint such pictures . . . but sometimes I lack the natural vocabulary to visualize what I'm trying to "see."
Water crowsfoot? I like "starry raft" -- very much.

Thanks for coming along!
