Sunrise on an Enchanted Pond

Morning on the pond. A lone goose was standing on the edge, and obligingly stepped down into the water as the sun started to rise out of the mist. The bird silently set sail onto the pond, and suddenly everything around us - the sun, the water, the sky - was golden, golden, golden. An enchanted moment in time.
