Contrasts on the Neuse

After an extremely stressful week, I told Adam that we needed to go out last Friday night, just to get away!! We rode the ferry and put a 5 mile wide river between us and our troubles, and headed to Morehead. The sun was sloping down to the water's lip as we parked on the ferry.
In contrast, here's the Neuse earlier in the day, sparkling and blue.
A river can be temperamental as a woman, shifting in color daily, and in texture and movement. I never tire of watching her to see what mood she's in today.

I like it when you tell Adam, "We must get away!" And I bet he likes it, too, because then he knows just what to do to make you happy. :-)
