Bathing in bliss

Duckweed clings to the skin of this hippopotamus as it floats quietly in the green-covered water. Its eyes are half-closed, and the faint expression on its face suggests a quiet, knowing smile. The water ripples gently around it, yet the lumbering creature remains still, a calm figure in the midst of the pond. It seems entirely content, basking in the stillness, content and unbothered by the world beyond the pond.
