Life retreats to the river at this time of year. 
 The rain has stoped and the rivers calm and there is a hush over the wild. A time of rest, to lay in the cool sand, a moment before the torrents return with the monsoon.

The sand was absolutely full of beetles, as I lay my head down I could hear them all clicking as they started to crawl into my hair and over my skin, the life at the waters edge.
