What does your pond look like ... Today?

[sissy]

Just make sure you don't feel anything squishy between your toes ,could be a problem .What about your snails ,I am guessing by now they are huge

They are from very tiny to darn large. I go in bare foot so I don't step on them. Push them out of the way with my feet. Every now and then I do squish one, the fish go crazy eating it.

I finally took a pretty good shot of our biggest trout, Miss Leo, after hundreds of blurred attempts. We thought she was Mr. Leo until she spawned a couple years ago. To give you some perspective, the comet in the foreground is twelve inches long:View attachment 83328

Awesome Red! I will be stocking my second pond with Rainbows in the spring. My brook trout are so illusive, I rarely get a glimpse.

I lost one in the group, they all were frozen. Looks like the pink and white made it

The lilies are loving this weather

This is the frogs view (ie from pond to house)

First time since I've been in Canada that I've had a single lily with more than two blooms at one time. This lily didn't bloom for two years and finally started two seasons ago.

Our first water hyacinth blooms have popped up. They don't usually bloom until August but our weather has been warm and dry since May.

How nice. I haven't had one water lily bloom yet. I don't want to fertilize them again because it caused an algae bloom the last time.

I feel your pain. Worst year for me yet. Doesn't help when you only have 2 sunny days out of 15...... Too much rain and cloud cover..

I was looking back at my old pics and noticed this summer is just like our 2010 summer and then the end of July not a drop of rain for August and part of September and everything went from green to brown with the high temps. I just hope it is not the same I like all the green .lily is getting ready to reopen
