This base picture threw me into the way back machine.
My aunt owned a house in the country when I was growing up and we would visit often. If you crossed the road from her house and followed the path you would come to this pond. This picture literally flooded me with those memories. I remember hanging around there for hours just talking, fishing, or skipping stones to see who could get the most skips or longest hop. It may have seemed like just a pond to the adults but for me, and my siblings and cousins, it was our kingdom. I've tried to create a collage here that brings back that feeling for anyone who had that 'special place' growing up.
