The bulrush's slow motion explosion generates pretty shapes. Not sure if I need to cull a bit after coming year. It went from one to quite a few in a year. Hope it will not fill up the pond too much

Yesterday we went to this #café where you're sitting inside a giant #koi #pond. Food and drinks? Very mediocre. #View? Absolutely #stunning!

The #fish also had a lot of space, including hiding spaces for when they're tired of all the people. They still often came to take a look tho.

It's probably going to rain through this week here. Today I made it out to the Los Gatos Creek trail and skated from the recharge ponds to DT Los Gatos (and back).
A couple of months ago, I bought a pair of rollerblades. I hadn't skated for a while, but it seemed like a good way to get more exercise with Luna, my dog at the time. Since the dogs are no longer living here, the original plan won't be happening, but I'm still determined to get some use out of them!
It was a nice cool day and I only fell once at the very end of the ride, as I tried stopping at a bench way too casually. I don't think anyone saw it. Here's a gif at the recharge ponds.

As Christmas orders are now closed, I'm going to post some pieces that I have sold in the past. A wee trip down memory lane.
A little koi pond with waterlilies on dark blue paper. This is colour pencil and mixed media.

Lilly Pond

Lily pads spread across dark water.
The surface holds, but does not explain, what lies beneath.
