Ponder


Debbieโ€™s word for One Word Sunday this week is Pond (or Ponder). So, I went for โ€˜Pondestโ€™. The most pond-like image I could find of the Lake, where one could just look at it and ponder.

Ponder questions such as why do the lily pads look upside down at the top of the image (they arenโ€™t!)

What caused that lone ripple in the centre there, whilst the rest of the water is as still and clear as a mirror.

Just how can all of those leaves and grasses and trees fit into the reflection? And arenโ€™t there some lovely shades of green.

This is also a post for Beckyโ€™s #TreeSquares, where we are back to Summer.

    Lots to ponder about your image, Tom. The reflection is gorgeous, but I’m pondering as to what lurks in the depths. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

      Indeed, Sylvia. Still waters run deep, as they say, and there’s probably all sorts lurking within the Lake!

    Normally I’d have a good return or a pun, but I’ve pondered far too long and come up all wet. Beautiful shot, Tom.

    When enough pondering people have pondered you could share their pondering on a pondcast ๐Ÿ˜Š

      Thanks Elaine. There seems to be more in the reflection than what there is in the real thing! ๐Ÿ˜„

    I enjoyed your pondering.

    I’m engaged in an ongoing poetry project where we take turns sharing images and then use them as prompts. The first thing I do is dissect the image as you have done here. It is amazing how much we can get out of pictures if we only take the time to really consider them. And it is amazing how much we miss in this very visual age, because we are too busy hurrying onto the next one.

      Thanks, Tilly.
      You’re right as well. If we just took a little more time, things could look so much better!
