🐟 Ponder 🐟

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 ~

A Koi Pond in Sengan-En Gardens, Kagoshima, Japan

“Remain in the world, act in the world, do whatsoever is needful, and yet remain transcendental, aloof, detached, a lotus flower in the pond.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets

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

URBAN

Some cities from around the world for Debbie’s OWS – Urban.

These are all cities we have visited over the last few years or so. It’s nice to spend a few days in a city but that’s about it for me. I much prefer a beach holiday, relaxing under an umbrella, a swim in the sea and watching the sunset. Da Nang in Vietnam is perfect for both which suits hubby and me down to the ground! He loves a good shop and browse and to tramp along streets unknown, letting his feet take him wherever! We rendezvous later after his explorations are over and to see if he’s found anything interesting worth visiting.

A Rural Father’s Day

This week Debbie has set the one word Sunday challenge as rural. As it coincided with Father’s Day I thought I would combine the two. It’s been a while since I saw both my parents, coming up to a year. I was lucky enough to have them both with me for almost five months last year, because of Covid they were stuck here for much longer than planned.
