we’ve been collecting fish from the pond over the last few days as the temperature is getting lower every day and we don’t want to be dealing with ice…

we started with the three that were in the bathtub pond… they have been in the house for about ten days…

right now we have twenty-four…

they have been collected in dribs and drabs… the first collection was about ten, and then a few at a time, as once they see my housemate walk towards the pond they rush under the bridge… unfortunately, it isn’t a drawbridge, lol…

we are still missing five…

wish us luck;-)…

the bathtub pond has been running for enough days that it was time for the last goldfish to come out from their small condo in the house…

put a large rock in the pond so they could hide under it, added water from the pond to a bucket, and went into the house to catch them…

lucky for me, it didn’t take too long to collect the four of them…

brought them outside and left them in the pail to acclimatize for about twenty minutes and then poured them in;-)…

they went straight for the hiding place, lol…

the sun shone all day even though it was fairly cold, which I discovered when I ran out to do an errand just after lunch…

the light really perks up my spirit…

this afternoon I got a few shots of a lovely bouquet in the office…

when I arrived home the moon was hanging right over the garage as I drove in…

tomorrow night into the early morning there is going to be a spectacular lunar display – a super moon, a blood moon and an eclipse… try to have a look when it is happening if you can… hoping for clear skies;-)…

just a few minutes later I caught this sky in the opposite direction…

lovely to have the moments to catch and enjoy the beauty around me…
