Daily PONDspiration [for making your mark}… JACKIE ROBINSON, No. 42. On April 15, 1947, he made his debut at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers as the first and only black player in the Major Leagues. Great art, design and architecture aside, THAT’s inspiring. Check out the special page MLB has posted in preparation for Jackie Robinson Day with videos of players and others sharing the personal inspriration Mr. Robinson provided.
Hello & welcome! I’m Haley Montgomery, and I’m the designer and owner of Small Pond Graphics. I sometimes fancy myself a frog kisser— a documentarian coaxing poignant moments from unexpected places. This blog has evolved from those moments.
The small Pond FIELD GUIDE is part diary, part sketchbook, and part wish list – an archive of ordinary wonders. For years, this space has housed my stories – creative ideas, vintage inspiration, our forays into curious places, and the simple artifacts of quiet of conscious living. Through watercolor, photography, and illustrated tales, these pages uncover the blessing of ordinary days and the wonder found in authentic places and pursuits.
I invite you to open the boxes.
Peek into the drawers.
Rustle through the pages.
I’m honored to have you here.
