A December Epiphany

I awoke this morning, stumbled into the kitchen, and looked out at the lake. What I saw took my breath away. The lake glowed a soft pink. Steam wafted from its surface. The home across the bay looked like a life-sized gingerbread house complete with snow-covered pine tree out front. I watched a pair of swans glide over the surface of the water, avoiding the growing patch of ice in the center of the bay.
What made this view so different this morning? It took me a minute to figure it out. The snow’s been around for days, same with the swans. But the pink, the light, what was THAT?
