Being torn between going to the movies or going straight home in order to tidy before my parents' visit tomorrow, I found myself - like so often - doing something else altogether: suddenly it seemed all-important that Flickr should have somewhere for the pond-picture-takers (like yours truly) to meet and enjoy each other's pondscapes. Hence the birth of the Pondscapes group. For now it's an elite group of one, but I am sure that if I just invite enough of the other nerdy people (no offense) out there to bring on the pondscapes, someone is going to post something one day. At the moment it looks a little silly, but there is something so Zen about the look of the surface of a pond that surely it can't just be me that's crawling around on all fours with their DSLRS looking like idiots, trying to get exactly the right amount of sky and the right amount of leaf in the frame? Surely not!
Although if it should turn out that there really isn't, that's ok as well. I found 22 pondscapes in my own photostream and posted them so it doesn't look too bare. I can easily take more. And if I get a couple of friends to join I can already start doing pondscape of the month-competitions, and display a featured pondscape on the front page. How cool am I? (Yes, I know)

Update: the first other person added their picture. And such a nice one, too! Yay!
One person is just one person, but 2 people are a group!
