In a Squirrel's Eye - Weekend Reflections

Whilst sitting on the swing in our backyard, we were so delighted when one of our dear little squirrels took time to drink from the pond before scampering up into the trees.  We've named this little fellow Charlie!  He seems fearless and loves the peanuts we put out for him.

Lily Pond Reflections

This is a picture I took last summer. My small backyard pond is one of the delights of my soul. I've always dreamed of having one there. There is something so restful, so peaceful when one sits next to a pond, where the goldfish slowly swim beneath reflection of flower, tree and sky.

Egad--it's an Ice Dog!

I was intrigued when I noticed a hollow column of ice which had formed where the small waterfall splashes into the pond in my garden. As you can see, the water runs down through the middle! Of course, I had to click a photo.

Unexpectedly, when I checked out the picture on my computer--I was sure I could see an ice dog. He's sitting up, facing to the left. He sports jowls, eye, floppy ear and his nose rests against the grey stone. He's either wrapped up in a plump ice blanket, or he's VERY fat.

For the viewing him best, click for the larger picture. Can you see him???

Lily Pond Reflections

This is a photo I snapped a few years ago. There's something so lovely and peaceful about a water lily. The fragrance of the lilies can be magical on a soft warm summer evening. This sweet white flower with its golden heart grew from a start Dad gave to me. The pond with its spry goldfish and lovely flowerings is the center of my garden.
