ponds

Even a small pond is worthwhile. There’s been so much insect life in and around this little pond that was put in earlier this year. Spiders, hoverflies, flies, solitary bees, newts, frogs. #Pond #Ponds #Biodiversity #Gardening #Allotment

A small container pond with green algae and various pond plants flag iris, brooklime, bog bean, lesser spearwort, hornwort and water violet. There’s a gentle slope of stones down from one end towards the middle. The pond is surrounded by various flowers. Orange marigolds, white alyssum, borage that’s gone over, pink cosmos and some purple bowles mauve.

This is my fave #bench in Esquimalt Gorge Park. I've enjoyed many books & eaten several lunches, at this spot. It's tucked away, off the main loop around the Japanese gardens & it's a really nice shady resting space. I adore all the ferns & trees that hug this rest stop.

A winding stone path leads deeper into a tranquil, overgrown garden. Lush green ferns and broad-leafed plants line the path, creating a sense of enclosure. Further along the path, a simple wooden bench sits invitingly beneath the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense canopy of mature trees. The scene evokes feelings of peace and serenity.
