with this amazing weather, we took our first walk around "my pond" on sunday.
i was honestly surprised to see so many ducks, so early in the season.
the women were busy claiming their "nesting" spots
while the men were busy doing whatever it is they do.
it's funny how i can walk the same pond over and over and never get bored.
i mean really.
don't cattails fascinate you.
they don't. oh. well then you'd hate "my pond."

wait. they do.
well then you can come along with me on my pond walks any day.

ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean!
Lovely shots, Beth.
i love these photos! share away!
ReplyDeleteI adore cattails as they always take me back to the day of childhood and walking along a gravel road where water stood in the ditches... cattails were always abundant!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved cattails and have always lived near a pond...and I too never tire of them! I'd love to walk with you...and your camera, beth.
ReplyDeleteYes, we walk by the river most days and there is always something new to see.
ReplyDeleteWe've had the same pair of ducks hang out in our pond for the last three years and I really hope they come back this year.
Cat tails are great, we have a bunch if those in our pond too.
I know what you mean about never tiring of your pond. Today I'm missing our old pond, our old way of life, the love that used to be there. I don't know what's wrong with me. But I can't be glad all the time.
ReplyDeleteNo - I haven't downloaded the book yet. But I'm planning on it!
Hello Beth - Now I'll have to look that book up! I walk the same trails, too, but the light and the scenes are ever-changing. I would never get tired of your pond. I love that shapely log!
ReplyDeletePS Now you "made" me try a sample on my Kindle - oh, Beth!
ReplyDeleteI never tire of my little yard and it's bit of life... let alone a pond.
ReplyDeleteAnd these photos? Thank you.
And everything is crazy early with this weather. My magnolia tree is a day away from blooming , I swear!
It's a delightful pond you walk ... so many fascinating things to see.
ReplyDeleteI would hang by the pond with you any day!!!
ReplyDeleteThe men ducks were doing very important men duck stuff. Love your pond.
ReplyDeleteLike you I can see much after repeat times of a special place. I have several hikes that each time feels new. Mostly because of the light in the sky and how it filters through the trees.
ReplyDeleteI like cat-tails but we have none near us sadly.
I would never tire of walking that pond. Wish I had one!
ReplyDeleteI love walking the same places over and over again, discovering all the little nuances of change.
ReplyDeleteand i love cattails.
we have a swamp just down the road, the geese have been crazy this year!
I love that the log looks like a mask for a giant batman :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to come join you for a walk around your pond
Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that book series. It sounds really good. I love the name Grey!
I am a cattail fan and wish there were some in Southern California.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour of your pond.

I'd take a walk there every day.... it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCattails, oh dear - I do like seeing them, but they remind me of a time many years ago when women used the fluff for sanitary napkins. Now you can have that in your mind too. Laughing!
ReplyDeleteMy stepfather was nearly arrested while stealing cattails from the side of the road for my mom when they were dating. He won my heart that day.
ReplyDeletei love cattails, and i'll walk with you anytime :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i've been photographing ducks, too...
I love cattails and ducks, so I think I would just adore your pond!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your pond
ReplyDeleteand the way you see it:)

Those cattails made me gasp. You just get better and better.
