When the image appeared, I confess I uttered a “rats.” The duck that was diving underwater was too quick for my eyes and finger to capture on the camera. As I looked again, I began to laugh. I am the only one who knows there was actually a duck beneath the splash. The image looks like the water was having a grand time. Perhaps it was a lake burp. May a lake giggle. Maybe a lake high five celebrating the melted ice. Maybe it was a lake bird with two wings spread open. Maybe it was a lake castle sitting atop the water. Oh the possibilities are endless. Oh yes, this little hobbit is a dork (I chuckle). But maybe, just maybe, there was no duck and any one of these little imaginings could be true! I retract my “rats” and bow in gratitude for the simple joy of imagination and daring to see. Sweet mercy, ain’t it grand!
