Pond Life


Isn't Nature a wonderful thing. This little pond, that I pass on my daily walk, didn't used to exist at all, it was created by the house building company that constructed this new estate of houses and flats near to where I live as an ornamental feature outside of their sales office. A year ago the builders decided that since the estate had been mostly sold and the sales office was gone, that they'd rip up the pond and return it to grass, the plastic liner was ripped up and the diggers moved in. Amazingly though, a couple of weeks after the whole thing was mud, the pond was back, I documented the transformation here. Now the pond looks more than ever like it's been here for ever, rushes, pond-life and constant visitations from aquatic birds it's a pleasure to stroll by, always something new to see. Long live the pond!
