Well, I was on a great streak in 2025 of doing two months per Pond Post- but I somehow fell behind! So, I am doing three months today so that I can end the year with two.
August felt like it went by fast, as I was spending time getting ready to go back to school. I tried to soak up the pond and all its critters before I had to go back. It was a hot August, and we didn't get as much rain as we needed. September was busy, and there was some rain. Then came October which had stunning colors. I was away midmonth for a conference but managed to be home for most of the peak fall foliage. Yay!
Lots of pictures today, so sit back and enjoy the views!
August 2025
August 1st in the early evening.
A deer visiting by the pond, while I waited for a friend.
One of the heron's many visits. Always makes me smile.
A beaver staying out of the sun.
A snapping turtle by the shore.
He's moving pretty fast!
Morning on the first day of school. Pretty light- but sad to have vacation come to an end.
I am not sure- maybe a baby heron in the junipers.
The last afternoon in August.
September 2025
The heron hanging out.
Colors of fall are beginning!
The heron bathes in light!
Another day and the heron is soaking in the rays!
Leaves are turning!
So pretty, but the pond is definitely getting low around the edges. Rain is needed!
Love the blue in the reflection.
Too low! But still love the reflection!
Wow! I feel so lucky to have seen all these beautiful colors in the sky and water.
October 2025
Water is getting lower!
And lower!
And even lower!
Absolutely love the colors!
Lots of pine needles!
Love the way the clouds look here!
Such fun shadows!
The red bush in the back is one of my favorites. I love the hue!
Fall in all its glory!
The brook is dry and overgrown with weeds. We have plans to weed it before winter!
Such fun shadows!
The colors kept changing by the second!
The heron huddled looking for snacks!
Halloween morning!
A Halloween visitor as I arrived home from work!
I told you- lots of photos! Thanks for stopping by the pond for a visit.
