Early-April Pond/ Watery Wednesday

Solitude

Although most of the grass was beat down by winter snow, the phragmites (common reed) still stands tall.

Oh, I forgot to say that this photo was taken a few days ago. This is now covered with 6 to 8 inches of SNOW!

    We only have an inch of snow. I guess we will have more by nightfall. We usually get the weather 6 to 8 hours after you. I know this is normal, but can I go back to bed till it goes away?

    What a peaceful place! It's too bad that it now has a covering of snow.

    It's nice to see water! Our river has finally thawed but most of our lakes are still covered with thick ice...as you spotted on the Sunday shadow shot photo!

    Are you tired of snow? I always love it for a time, but then I am ready for it to be spring...we had flurries yesterday. Just a few. I was glad it wasn't more.

    Looks like Ole' Mother Nature is not ready to turn loose of Winter yet. We have some snow here too--but not nearly as much.. I'm ready for Winter to leave completely 'til next year!!!!

    Great picture of the pond.
    Hugs,

    Good shot EG, everything here is covered too! I didn't go out today to photograph anything. We got 8" of snow so far, and right now it's snowing again. sigh.....
    I'll have to look back in my archives for a watery picture for Wednesday.

    Oh no! Not more snow! Places in East Alabama actually had a few snow flurries this morning but not here.

    Anyhow, I like the reeds and pond. Spring cannot be far away.

    That's a perfect title for this shot. It's a lonely looking place, but inviting in its own way.

    Excellent shot, this is a tough time of year to get good shots, but did just that.

    I was going to say it looks a little bleak yet, like spring has been delayed and then you tell us you got more snow!

    Yikes.

    Very nice photo, however!

    To me, the reeds in the front really set this picture off. Very nice! :-)

    Lovely and serene looking!
    The ponds here are muddy mostly.
    That much snow again - stay warm.

    That spot looks peaceful enough also.
    Are you back to long Winters and short warm Summers in Canada? That is what I was taught in school.

    Lovely photo! Would love to take walk around there when the snow is not thick. And since it is now filled with sow i bet you play snowball on the pond.

    I played WW too this week! Hope you can come by.

    Happy Easter!

    This looks like my neck of the woods, exactly. There is pond not far from my house that I've been meaning to get to now that it's Spring but there is too much going on and I'm lacking the time.

    Thanks for this. I always enjoy coming here.

    Oh my gosh, more snow for you!
    I still have a foot in my yard, but it settles and melts more every day. Your image reminds me of how early winter and early spring can look so alike. Wonderful image.

    Judi,

    Actually, it's a fish farm. The owners grow fish here to stock other ponds. ;-)

    The sheen on this stretch of water is stunning! A pretty contrast with the naked boughs etching the sky!
