First, go through the woods.
Thoughts come clearly while one walks. Thomas Mann |
The vibrant green is an invitation to enter.
Walks. The body advances, while the mind flutters around it like a bird. Jules Renard |
The water is still high, but the path is dry—in most places.
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see. John Burroughs |
Now the path hugs the pond.
There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast. Paul Scott Mowrer |
The sky bends down to look in the water.
Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow. Henry David Thoreau |
Stopping to watch several geese lolling around the pond's edge.
Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh |
An early spring singer.
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Maya Angelou |
Fish disturb the smooth pond surface.
Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond, many ponds make a lake, and many lakes make an ocean. Percy Ross quotes |

Oh, Lynda....this is a magnificent set! The pond and the area around it are absolutely gorgeous and you have shown it so beautifully. And the quotations are perfect. Bravo!!

Wonderful shots. I especially like the use of the whole frame in #1 and #5, the bird with its splash of colour against the green grass in #7 and the reflections and lines in #8. But I see everyone has different favourites.
