My husband, Chris, and I have a small 100-year-old farmhouse on a hilltop in Chappell Hill, Texas. We are surrounded by cows, a lovable donkey, and three ponds. Coyotes, rabbits, all kinds of birds, butterflies, lizards, occasional skunks, and armadillos are also our neighbors. Being nature-starved city slickers from birth, we are in heaven when immersed in our life at the farm. We take walks and photos almost daily at the farm. It was on a sun-dappled morning that I photographed the peacefulness of this pond. This land is our sanctuary and playground.
