Sometimes I like to imagine that
The frozen over lake is a beach —
A different kind of beach
With frozen waves
And a golden glow that isn’t from sand
But from the setting winter sun.
(Sometimes it’s great to have a vivid imagination!)

Imagination is perfect and the photos of the lake are too. Really adore the last one – oh to be ice skating again.

If I could be there to see by myself all these!!! What wonders!… the “vivid imagination” is always a plus… (from creativity’s point of view as a personal quality). And the skater is so brave… Outstanding colors, too and at first reading I thought you did some play of words in post (but I’m learning to read the nuances/ meanings…)! Love it… & appreciate, also! best greetings!

You could not have a more beautiful beach than that! But don’t forget to wear your mittens — and take a warm blanket instead of a terrycloth beach towel. (And a vivid imagination helps a lot of situtions, in my experience.)
