View From the Pond October/November/December

Happy New Year! Hope 2024 is starting off well for everyone. One of my goals is to get organized with my View From the Pond posts- and I am doing it! I am able to wrap up the last three months of 2023 and I'll be able to get on track with 2024 now that I am all caught up. 

This past week it has been freezing here, so it was nice to look back on some better weather. We didn't get any snow through December- so those photos will come when I share January views. Looking back it is easy for me to see why I had a hard time narrowing down photos for the post. The vibrant colors in October made the pond a true delight. Every minute the lighting changed, and I kept snapping away!

Sit back and enjoy looking back on the Fall views. I certainly felt very lucky to have such stunning views right out my front door. 

October

November

November I was away on a short trip and adjusting to having a sprained wrist. Still, I was able to get some pictures, and even when I didn't get to take as many as I wanted- I was able to sit and enjoy the calming view. 

December

December was a rainy month. We got 15 inches of rain in one month! It made the pond and the brook very full!  The brook was doing a lot more than babbling that is for sure. The rain made it hard to snap as many photos as I would have liked, but it was amazing to watch. Plus, I find the sound of water running very relaxing and soothing, so I tried to soak it all in. 

(You can hear the brook and the rain in this short video.)

And that's a wrap on 2023! Stay tuned for views from the new year. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

New Scene. New Sights to See.

Recently, the universe decided I needed change, and it made it so. Transition can be challenging, and I've done enough adulting to last a lifetime, but once dust settles, vision clears. My daily scene is different now, though some things are the same. Stephanie has her majestic pond, and I have a street to explore. It's filled with eclectic sights, and runs parallel to the Housatonic river. Change is swift when it comes; with open hearts and eyes we find the light playing in and all around us. Here's a peek into my new world...

Rainbow Ride finally realized in a proper circle. 

Her Highness chilling in the mood lighting.

I popped a moon flower seed in this pot. I hope it blooms!

Caught this rainbow playing with my house faerie.

Found this magical crystal ball amethyst treasure at The Ruby Tree in Woodbury, CT (a good reason to shop at local eclectic shops, that's where you find these stunning, unique artworks. This one was waiting for me.)

Sharky is still suspicious. 

Morning walk.

In December, we visited Barnes and Noble in Waterbury. As always, we had a great time talking to readers and spending time with the awesome staff there. 

Wishing all of our readers peace, love, and abundance in the new year!
