Island of Dreams by maggiemae

Island of Dreams

This was just as the sun was coming over the hill this morning and the water was golden! A little island here was sheltering ducks who were happy to stay there as it was 4 degreesC. My hands got numb walking around this pond in the local Gardens.
Suggestions that this should be called "On Golden Pond" and thats very apt but I was thinking of this: http://youtu.be/rhF-Mqn-HEQ
Lovely!

@frida You would have to be quite bold to do that gold! Sorry about the poetry!
June 9th, 2012  
Well it could be both, but for sure it is beautiful!

I'm nothing if not bold Maggie:)))))) Poetry is good we ca fit in in our corollary words :)))
