Life is good!

[click for a better view]
As is our tradition, every Saturday morning we eat breakfast at a small restaurant in White Bear Lake and then needfully, we walk along the lake and through the lovely old neighborhoods for another half hour. Last Saturday we had a light frost and the our whole area was full of a lacy fog. The sun was coming up through this fog on the lake when I took this photo of busy coots and three kayaks gliding through the water. It was sublime but only for a few minutes until the sun rose completely. . .one of those moments that takes your breath away!

See more breathtaking photos at Skywatch. Happy Friday!

Oh I could tell it was breathtaking. If we could just freeze those moments and return to them whenever needed...

I can sense it all, Noni, thanks to your lovely image and description. I can feel the bite of the frosty, foggy morning, the sounds of water lapping and birds feeding, the awe of being there at that moment. Thank you!
