I despair too and am presently trying to work out how many bird houses we can buy for the balcony, as those trees were full of birds I had come to love. Beautiful.

During the B-Years, ugly housing, with homes built 8" apart, overtook every pond, and developers and the city council colluded with each other to force people off of working farms that had been in families for generations. It's almost like when I come across any peaceful place now I say a little prayer. Echoing what Kathleen said, I moved to where I’m at now because it was a semi-rural, quiet, clean place.

My pet peeve is when they put up a new Starbucks on the first blade of grass that is still empty. I have to say, I am not sorry for all of builders and investors who put up these empty malls, homes and developments in the name of greed and now are losing their butts. My heart breaks for the wild life and our precious planet that will reap the down side for many years to come. Nature WILL out live us and re-stake her claim. It has happened before.

The water does draw one in. And the photo itself seems to have soul. <br/><br/>It's so great you have a landmark in which you can find serenity and grounding. Long live the pond!
