Freshly fallen bigleaf maple leaves break up the surface of the pond but leave windows to reflect the upper canopy & sky. In this moment, the pond is a portal, inviting us to look simultaneously at the worlds above & below.

In addition to finishing the pond, adding power capacity, and building an office, we have prepared the ground just outside the Sine Center for what will become a small native meadow.
We have a lot of volunteer work - email us at info@circlewood.online if you're interested!

Our pond is slowly filling up! Students from Au Sable Institute helped us prep and put in the liner over the summer. Landscaping is coming along, but in the meantime, we're loving the gorgeous fall colors and the arrival of some new frog friends!
