On Golden Pond, by James L. Brown
Canada Geese glided silently on my favorite pond at the Marthaville Habitat Area located in Southern Ontario, Canada. I rose at about six am to a wonderful fog. I knew I only had minutes to capture this magical place before the fog and mist burned off with the rising sun. Fortunately I was the only person there that morning and the geese almost seemed to want pose for me! They sure made my day.

beautiful colors. the swans make the picture look alive.
Why thank you Terry. I seldom get up early enough to find that magic light . Shortly after taking this photo the fog disappeared and the magic was gone – jimmy
This photo is incredible! I always love the early morning surprises the skies and the landscape give us.
