So lovely Christine! I can almost hear the frogs under the Cattails and Willow while dragonflies dart above the water.
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird β€” equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." β€” Mary Oliver, from Messenger

Oh wow, thank you all for the Thumbs up and Acorn s! And all the nice comments too.

It is a peaceful place. Just like @nativeplantlover imagines it would be, lots of frogs under the cattails and dragonflies, some skimming the water while others dart above. It's our place to sit and relax, sometimes catch a fish and release it back in the water. @Toni the view does the same to me. Lovey dubby

Thank you again all!
