Golden Moment

Sometimes I experience moments

that I know will be remembered as something special

This weekend we have been ice skating

on a frozen lake not far from where we live

The ice was so shiny and thick

the sun was shining

My husband said it was risky to bring my camera out on the ice

in case i fell

but I said that a photographer has to be willing to take a risk

for a good shot

Lots of people young and old

who had found their way just like us

Plenty of space for all of us

Making little fires between the trees grilling sausages on sticks

and drinking warm tea from flasks

Ice almost as far as we could see

We stayed until the sun went down, and even longer

I knew that this moment

This experience

I would treasure as a golden moment
