Peaceful lies the pond
Beyond the still sylvan bank
Inviting us in.

These posts were scheduled to maintain the series while I’m offline. I can’t respond to comments, likes, follows, or questions. But please interact. I’ll try to catch up on my return. In future, I’ll post a picture once a week instead. Books and writing have taken a back seat for too long. I started when Covid confined people to their homes, unable to enjoy nature. It’s time to return to my writing. If you’d like to spread joy, respect and responsibility for our wonderful planet, please share these posts on social media (‘share’ buttons below help), comment with your thoughts, and help sustain our environment for the future. Thank you. Earth’s our only home.

More pictures appear in the Gallery.
And you can view over 2000 images for book covers, calendars, greetings cards, jigsaws, advertising, or whatever you fancy online, or as art quality prints to decorate a room.
The small fee covers costs and helps me maintain and buy equipment and software quality digital photography demands. I dislike exclusivity and prefer everyone to afford my work.

A beautiful spot from which to just sit and admire the scene.

Yes, Lynette. The place has a certain calm to it.

What kind of fish are in there?

I’ve seen signs of fish rising to catch surface insects, Noelle. But I’ve never seen a fish caught here, and fishing people are pretty rare, so I’ve never had the chance to ask. But my guess is there are bream, carp and possibly even the odd pike.

My son-in-law would be there with his rod in a cold minute.

He’d spend his time in serene silence, Noelle. I think I’ve seen the fishing platforms (wooden stands that protrude over the surface of the pond a few feet) used maybe half a dozen times in the seven years we’ve been visiting this place!
