on the water ... 76/365

on the water ...
/ɔn ðə ˈwɔtər/ –description of placement
so as to be or remain supported by or suspended from a transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, H2O, freezing at 32°F or 0°C and boiling at 212°F or 100°C, that in a more or less impure state constitutes rain, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.: it contains 11.188 percent hydrogen and 88.812 percent oxygen, by weight.

... whew ... that definition exhausts me ... but watching this pair of loons so didn't ... if you've ever been around loons ... you'll know that this is a rare sight ... catching them this close to shore with humans anywhere in the vicinity ... they must have had a nest there ... beautiful ...
