Willow Pond: From Winter to Spring

Willow Pond - varied layers of spirit-zapping winter. Winter: reviled by many, loved by me. Winter, an opportunity to go within. Winter, a struggle of the soul...Awaited redemption arrives in the light of the coming spring.

Willow Pond - an early spring cleaning.*

Willow Pond - dances with spring. Alas, she arrives, captured on this foggy morning, steam rising into a day destined to turn warm with many to follow.

Thank you for the affirmation everyone. I've spent most of my three decades in communications along some amazingly talent photographers, so I'm, for a change, rather humble putting my work out there.

This photos are lovely! I especially love the close ups of the algae at the pondside and the duck photo. Can't wait to look through your blog a bit more.

Stunning photography, Leisa. I love all the seasons, really, but I always enjoy seeing the new green emerge.

And p.s. thanks for the info on the autism movie.

I love the way you captured each season with it's own beauty. I love the hopes of hibernation in winter and the joy of a new beginning in spring.
