All Aglow

The sun was shining through the ice on the back of the house, and it was creating amazing light effect.  Then, just as I was about to take a picture of it, Clarence flew in and landed on a branch.  He caught the light effects and positively glowed.  He even raised his head crest at just the right moment, and it looked like flames.  I think this is my favorite photo of the winter.  A true moment of common enchantment as I like to call them.  It reminded me of a favorite Albert Einstein quote of mine, "There are only two ways to live your life.  One is as if nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle."  I choose the latter.
