The beauty of winter

January 29, 2021February 1, 2021 by wren, posted in A day in the life of a pond

Even if I don't enjoy cold weather and definitely don't want to spend time outside in it, I can enjoy the crisp beauty of blue skies and white snow.

Although it's only a light dusting on the grass, the snow has completely covered the surface of the pond. A little more snow, enough to cover the grass and blur the edges of the pond, and it's easy to see how someone could not notice they were moving from land to water.

Feeding the birds

January 18, 2021February 1, 2021 by wren, posted in birds

Late afternoon the sun glows in the west, illuminating the tree and gently reflecting on the refrozen surface of the pond. My living room windows face west, and any day that's not overcast and hiding the sun, the sunsets are beautiful.

Open water

Yes, it's mid-January and there's open water on the pond. It's been an unusually mild winter for here. Despite that, a friend was telling me the other day that some people were already out ice fishing. I'm from Virginia. I don't trust any ice thinner than a glacier for walking on, let alone driving on, … Continue reading Open water
