My poor pond!

Good job! Batting works like a charm! Sissy's got it all down to a science!

The photos I took look great but when I uploaded them here not so much. I'm going to just put a couple up from today and maybe they will look clear on your end. Now I can call it "My New Lovely Pond"!

I'm almost certain that the night bloomer is red Flair. I got one last year and it was doing good, during the move I lost a couple of night bloomers and I'm not certain if I lost red flair or not. Still keeping my fingers crossed as none of my night bloomers have bloomed this year. I still have five out of the seven I had so maybe it's still around. BTW, red Flair is my favorite night bloomer.

Called our pond place and they told me that the Lilly that you all like so much is called "Jennifer Rebecca". This is not the one for the young lady that passed, but was another one they have there that is also a night bloomer.

Your pond looks so nice and clear and love that red lily also!

It's wonderful...I can see all the tadpoles at the bottom as well as lots of baby fish. We had purchased some sort of tiny fish, but the name eludes me at the moment, but they never get more than an inch long. Because of that now I never know if I actually have babies from those or my other fish. I was looking for the shark today hoping to snap a photo, but he's black so he blends well with the liner and he likes to scoot into the layers of the brick things that make up the bog.

Here's two photos from later today...one showing a few of my fish and again how clear the pond is and the next where you should be able to see the tadpoles on the bottom of the pond and possibly be able to see a baby fish or two to the far right.

Gorgeous red fantail and beautiful Shubunkin, Garden Lady! I had a really pretty red with white belly fantail, it disappeared, never did figure out what happened to it. Will have to get another one, and grow it up before I put it out in the pond. Thinking the frogs are eating my fantail babies I've put in there the last 2 months. Still have at least 2, saw them last night, but I put 6 in there total. Could be hiding, not sure. Saw the tadpoles, and not sure, but think I spotted a baby fish on the right in front of the lighter colored bottom.

We've lost some in the past but we do have egrets on the lake behind our house and my husband saw one on the pond side one day and shooed it away, so we may have lost some to those as well. Yep..fish on the right..there are actually quite a few of varying sizes, but like I said in my earlier post, i'm not sure if they are the small fish we put in the pond or maybe from our Shubunkin's etc. I think the tiny ones are called something that ends in daze. I almost wish I hadn't added them so I'd know when I saw a baby I could really get excited. At any rate..time will tell as to what they are. I'm looking forward to adding a few more fish to our pond soon. I appreciate everyone's comments and most certainly the help everyone has been and now that I'm on my way with the pond, I'm going to start doing more exploring to check out other ponds here!
