L.Y.A. 2016 Side swap #10. Waterlily by Sharon H. Lane,
Sharon took this photo of her new pond. What an inspiration! Visit Sharon at her Twistylane. She describes herself as, among other things, a pathological picture taker. Love that.
I love this card, because it made me remember my Aunt Gloria, and her pond. I even remember when she built it. While she was distracted in one corner of the yard my cousins and I were in the other stealing rhubarb meant for pie or jam.
We always teased her. Camping trips, even day trips to the mountains were an excuse for her to collect rocks for the pond. As a kid I didn’t think much about a bunch of ugly rocks. As an adult, I have taken on the same habit. Collecting stones or twigs or sand from my travels.
Thank you Sharon, for sharing your art with me. And for reviving childhood memories of cousins and camping in the glorious Colorado Rockies!
That’s really beautiful. I love it. Wonderful childhood memories you have, and excellent that you can still remember them…me on the other hand….nope….don’t remember too much! :o)
She has lived in the same home for over 50 years. Always had raspberries, rhubarb, crab apples..she was the babysitter and all the cousins would end up there, so it was a blast. For us, anyway. Lol
This is a really beautiful photo. And I can picture you as a kid. Isn’t that funny? Maybe it was when you said you stole the Rhubarb. Because I did, too. But it was from my own Mother’s garden! Nice memories, Sheila!
That is funny Laurie 🙂 Her kids were the ring leaders, they taught us how to do it right, lol.
Sheila, thanks for sharing another postcard with us, and thanks for sharing pond memories. My husband got pond fever a number of years ago and we’ve had a beautiful little oasis of a coy pond in our back yard ever since. Such lovely energy there.
I would love to have a Koi pond one day. Water has such great energy and Koi are so lovely to watch 🙂 I bet it is magical Dotty!
laughing at my having written coy (or auto-incorrect’s having done so, one or the other)! I’m thinking Laurie could paint us up a coy pond with great energy and lovely to watch!
Dotty I am laughing, because I did not even notice. :)) I am thinking you are right about Laurie!
A lovely card and so nice to have the memories revived. Have a great week Sheila!
You too Val, thanks for stopping by 🙂
