This week for one word Sunday, Debbie at Travel with Intent has chosen “Pond or Ponder”. I’ve found a few with quotes to go with my photos. Stay a while and ponder.
It is better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a mighty ocean

Our little fish pond, built in 2012. Different fish and some more plants, but still going strong. DH’s (Dear Hubby) hobby.
“I have found it a singular luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite side”
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
โRemain in the world, act in the world, do whatsoever is needful, and yet remain transcendental, aloof, detached, a lotus flower in the pond.โย

It’s the smallest fish in the pond that has the most room to swim – or the smallest cow!

Thanks Janet ..will pass on your comments ๐
I remember that beautiful pond at Butchart Gardens. When we saw it the flowers surrounding it were all shades of orange.
Thanks for your comment ๐
Oh now, fish are all very well but the cow is genius!
Yes I thought so. It represents the cows that used to wander freely a hundred years before
The quotes were a perfect fit for your images. I loved the two of your fish pond. Must be so rewarding to look back and see how it has filled in. Donna
