Some powerful lights you have there. It is so nice looking. I wi share the same thought I had for my pond as I do for yours. Imagine e what it will look like when the landscape matures...oh my!

Actually the lights are only 1 watt led. I cheated a little it's a long exposure with some light painting as they call it , its using a flash light to light up areas that may be to dark . in this photo it's what has a blue tint to it. Mainly it's around the outside of the photo. and it's three photos to make an HDR

Still looks good. Also a great motivation, just ran the wire around my for landscaping lights ,

The bogs are now planted. The birds and dragonflies have found the pond as has one duck and a couple blue heron. tHE WATER IS SO CLEAR THE FISH DO STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. to help combat this I have been running my aerator during the day time which is making it a little harder for predators to see. And it has pushed the fish toward the caves during the day time hours again.YES I know I have a lot of rubber and liner to hide. But I have cleaned up the yard I am down to one pile of rock ok i'm missing a few blades of grass and planting in july is less then ideal! we will see

Bogs looking good! You are making some great progress. That should fill in nicely.

Wow looking wonderful.................next year you will be yanking and tossing plants! I started out with a nicely planted divided to zones planting

................look at it now! Sort of organized, but I let it just grow. I do pull plants here and there to keep water flow paths open. The water weeps over the wall and down the water fall. The pond never needs care.
