Tree Tuesday Around Mondo Ponds
Y
This is a post for Tree Tuesday hosted by @old-guy-photos and for this week I will share a few shots around the Mondo Pond trails
The first shot is as I am walking down one of the paths on the trails around the ponds, as you can see the paths are surrounded by trees

Recently we have had Some quite strong winds come through and I didn't realize how strong there were as we had no damage near where I live, but as I walked around the trails, I saw quite a bit of damage such as this spot where you can see the one big tree snapped off, and a few other fallen trees in the foreground.

And in this last shot you can see a tree growing on a little rock island on the pond, the only tree in view from this spot with some color, the remaing trees in view all still pretyt bare.
The other thing I like about this shot is of course, the reflections on the water.
The trails around the water are a lovely walk and never that busy but there are always a few people walking around the trails, or as you can see in this shot on the right a couple of people by the pond fishing

Beautiful pictures. Any idea what type of trees those are. Cant tell if there pine or some type of cypress or something else completely different.

Beautiful forest in your area!
It’s a nice csmall area for taking a leisurely stroll and relaxing
Thanks for your visit
So beautiful!
Thanks it is a lovely area for a relaxing stroll and unwinding :)
Water always seems to bring life to it. Even a small pond in my veg garden will be teeming with life of birds, frogs, insects within a day of my making it. We are all drawn to water, the giver of life :)
That it sure does, I have always wanted a big garden with a small pond and plenty of plants and flowers, but now as I get older my visions for our place where we retire will be smaller, but i would still love some sort of water feature
Wow, that is beautiful. It reminds me of some of the paths I used to walk along in Michigan's state forests when I was a kid.
Thanks it is a lovely little trail around the ponds not very big but so relaxing to walk round very calming
Very nice.
Some of the shots look like the eye-bleeding puzzles one of my sisters used to do..
Thanks Mate and Ohh yes I know the puzzles you wan I did a few when I was younger, my Siblings got annoyed how quick I could do there ones so one Christmas they all got me big and challenging jigsaws eye bleeding would have been. Good way to describe them
Great shots for the #TreeTuesday challenge brother...
That first shot reminds me of being in Germany in the service; I remember being at BLSA, an area that stored different types of munitions... it was smack against the Black Forest... looking down those paths at night was like a Stephen King book lol...
Your second photo... wow; we don't realize just how strong Mother Nature is sometimes aye? Snapped that tree like a toothpick! Still... beautiful shot regardless...
The last one is also my favorite... reminds me of a Bob Ross painting. Beautiful reflections with that green in the center... really sets off the photo. Also noticed you caught someone fishing there on the right of the photo? Or were there following you!! Ha!
Thanks again for taking us with you my friend... wonderful post!
Thanks for such a thoughtful comment !tip
Yes that snapped tree really highlights how powerful nature can be, Yes they were fishing, at lest I do not think they were following me, but now I will have to be watching out to make sure I am not being followed lOL
Haha!!
Don't go getting all paranoid now! I'd say holler across next time, and see if they are catching anything, but that might "actually" get you followed!
LOL No Never, I don’t holler out because i knew they were fishing and I know most fishermen like peace and quiet :)
Plus II hve a third sense for whenI am being followed, n a couple of countries i was in we were followed at times and I always knew when they were there :)
I knew it!! You're a secret agent man (humming the tune now?)...
Another memory of Germany in the service; we were told NEVER to go out at night, without being in a large group. I can remember one particular evening... walking to the train station to go to the goth clubs (yes... goth clubs) and as we rounded a corner, there was a red laser dot dancing on our heads. Didn't look up to investigate...just kept walking... good times!
NO at all a Secret agent man but i have been to countries they like to at random keep a close eye on foreigners and i did feel like a secret agent when I felt bored with being followed so did the spy movie sort of think and zipped here and there just to lose them, then would watch the watches for a bit and then let me then me again , Looking back probably a stupid thing to do but it was fun at the time.
Goth clubs were never my thin but I did the same heading out to bars and clubs in places where we weren’t meant to, never had a laser dot on me, but did Drive down Sniper Alley in Sarajevo when it I’ve up to its name

Reminds me of Beaver Lake in Stanley Park near my home. Nice place to escape the city:)
I love little spots i
Like this even thought he city I live in is pretty small it’s still nice to walk the trails and get away from it all
The first picture could be on my yesterdays' walk, actually it all looks quite similar to here - beautiful photos, my friend.
Funnily enough I just made a similar comment to you on another thread, Great minds think alike :)
And thanks :)

Good morning, I hope, your day will really be a fun day ;)
Looks like some woods I was just in! I got a video of the tree tops swaying like crazy lol.
Just went and took a look at your post and the video so cool I dont know why I never do videos, I shoudl think about doing some now and then
Thanks this is the one I was saying about the swaying tops!!! It was a bit crazy!!!
Yes I saw that one as well your right it is a bit crazy but crazy in a cool way
Great photography. 😊 The last shot is my favorite. Calming, relaxing, idyllic and lively in the same time, with those people in the background. Perfect study for a canvas composition. Great eye 👁
Thanks kindly
It’s such a beautiful spot for a relaxing stroll so calming I must say
