This little pond is artificial, an excavated widening of the creek, a place for firetrucks to drink deeply, but the ducks like it too.

Spring is showing on the left, while winter still dominates the heights.

Water ripples from a creek, smoothing out into a small pond with a reflective surface. Fresh green leaves cover a shrub on the left, while taller trees on the right bank are still bare. Snow covered mountains surround the valley behind.
