One view, many ponds; a new blog

In 2008, my husband and I purchased his grandmother's house in a tiny town in MI. Part of the charm of the house was the large pond in the backyard, which we fell in love with immediately.

I had been thinking off and on about taking pictures of the pond and recording its constantly changing beauty, but I didn't think anyone else would want to see the pictures, until one of my best friends suggested the same idea.

I decided to take a picture out of my kitchen window whenever the mood struck. At first I took pictures sporadically; eventually, though, I began noticing how the pond looked different at different times of the day, how the light changed the mood, how rain and mist and snow altered the scene, and I began to watch the pond for especially pretty moments.


Three years later, I'm still taking pictures, and it still constantly evolves. I've uploaded all of the pics into a blog, and I plan to continue following the seasons with my camera.



I hope you enjoy following the changing seasons with me! Find my pond pictures at my new blog, Your Daily Pond.

What a pretty pond and spot. Must be nice just sitting there in the swing enjoying the view, and possible the wildlife.

I live beside a small lake, so I know what you mean about how the water and the scene constantly changes. It's mesmerizing to watch.

Oh yes, I sometimes stand at the window and just stare at the pond. It's so nice and peaceful! Thanks for the comment!
