Lemonville / Watery Wednesday
Lemonville is a small hamlet in Whitchurch-Stouffville, just south of East Gwillimbury. The hamlet’s elegant homes appear to float on water but are actually built over a natural underground reservoir. Most of the homes have ponds in their front yards, this pond one of the loveliest.
This photo was taken last Thursday. I'm sure the snow is gone now!

It's nice to have money...I guess. Of course then you have to hire someone to take care of the pond.
Beautiful, though. Did you show us this pond awhile back when it was all ice and snow?
Nicely composed pic.
Gosh, aren't they worried about flooding? Make for a pretty photo, though. :)
Beautiful yards. I love that bridge.
Hi Jacob,
I live in an area where there are many, many ponds and creeks. The only other water I remember taking recently in Whitchurch-Stouffville was actually a creek with an old wooden bridge.
EG: What a neat photo of the water. I'm done with snow, wait, I said that last week and we got more. At least it doesn't stay long.
Oh how pretty, EG. I have a 'thing' for bridges... We cross so many pretty little bridges when we are hiking for waterfalls...
Thanks for a beautiful photo.
Hugs,
Betsy
That's a beautiful bridge, and quite a big pond to have in one's yard.
Nice to have the snow gone, isn't it?
Well, I've equipped myself with a big glass of water and am hence able to enjoy your splendidly lit bridge over lovely pond without any cravings :)
This looks like a lovely area! I love lakes, ponds, swamps, rivers, the seaside... all water bodies.
People build their homes anywhere! Flooding? Avalanche? Landslide? No - won't happen!
But sometimes those places are beautiful - such as this place! :)
that is simply an eye candy. i guess we all could use a pond right?
that bridge is really pretty with all the detailing.
Nice shot. I love that bridge!
That is a very cool bridge, and a great photo!
That is just perfect for the great details in the photo.
It does make one wonder about the foundations of the house, though.
This is somebody's house? I see now where the "WOW" in your blog title comes from. Must be wonderful to have your own pond right out front. And the bridge? Beautiful.
Nice tranquil picture. Unlikely to get splashed.
What a great picture of that bridge. I love it.
Beautiful pond. Lovely place and a wonderful photo.
What a pretty scene. Lovely photo.

That's neat, I have never heard of Lemonville.

What a pretty little bridge. It must be in an exclusive area. Wait for me!!!
I have a pond. It is a natural one and very nice play around. There are about 14 Koi in it that have been there for years. They are huge. I don't even have to feed them.
Another super shot, EG. MB
I like the pattern of the fans on the bridge rails...what a great view to have from your kitchen window...and I'm glad the snow has gone from your part of the world. It's back again in my part of the world!
It looks like they put a lot of time & care into making that bridge beautiful!
Lovely, will make a great place for some wedding shots as well :)
Your bridge has very intricate details. Do you call that balustrade?
What a gorgeous bridge with still a touch of snow. The bridge would be dangerous for young ones who might slip through the large spaces in it BUT I love it anyway.
I do love the names of your towns up there. How cool to have a pond in your front yard. We have a "pond", but it is an overflow from the creek behind our house, and in the summer it often dries up.

That's lovely, I wouldn't mind having a bridge like that but a lot smaller in my little yard.
Great looking bridge.

To have a home with its own (not tiny!) pond… wow. Dare I ask how much properties are there?
This is such a pretty wooden bridge.
The little footbridge is elegant, too. This is a very pretty image.
Beautiful ! looks like a postcard !
lovely scene...tranquil.
That's someone's front yard? I gotta move ... or marry someone rich, lol.
This is an excellent photo - like a post card.
A lovely bridge - looks fairly new.
Nice shot - great composition!
Amazing place. I love bridges, small or big.
We paint the eggs with a red egg's dye call "Anatoli" and then we polish them with olive oil. Some people, especially the olders, use the water after boiling some beetroots. That's more ecological.
It look a very beatiful place to live.. and that bridge is a stunner..

Amazing pond to be in one home's yard. The whole area is beautiful I expect.

I love little bridges like this one...they are so appealing. You did a good job on capturing its loveliness.
That is an incredible pond! I suppose they can afford to have someone else clear out the algae and weeds to keep it looking pretty! But what about the mosquitoes?
lovely photos and the bridge! nice entry.
Goodness what an extraordinarily pretty bridge and so well captured too with a littöle bit of snow on top as a contrast to the very blue water. As per usual very very enjoyable.
Wonderful image, and great bridge. Yes snow is melting everywhere, well maybe not everywhere but here too.
What a lovely bridge over this beautiful pond!
Hugs and blessings,
This has to be the epitomy of romance! Glorious photo!
I wowed in a loud voice! hehehee. This is a great shot of a pond and bridge.
I got a pond entry too! :)
Gorgeous bridge:)
