Was just posting today about a liner under my filters and glad i had mine because mowed to mulch up leaves in the yard and came back around by the pond and water was running over the top of the filter and saw one of the outlets was plugged so put a small hose in there to unclog it and a frog swam out the other end into the tank .I couldn't catch it .Will have to try again tomorrow .Darn frogs .It got up to 67 degrees today so got lots of stuff done

I have screens across all openings. So far a Apple caused a huge water loss. A Lily leaf did the same. And various things. So put one inch sceening across any outlets.

Glad you caught it sissy

This frog came in from the filter and since the outlet side is smaller he got stuck inside near the end .When I pushed a piece of rubber tubing into the outlet end I pushed him back into the filter .I think he was happy to escape .The outlet goes into the waterfall pond and into he pond next .Glad I caught it but since the filter sets inside a liner it just ran over and back into the pond so at least I did not loose any water .I was happy I caught it and it was warm enough to fix it .

These shots are from just after midnight on the 9th. It's now above freezing and raining, so the few inches of snow from last night is disappearing. It was pretty while it lasted, though.

How very pretty @Troutredds !

The side view with your waterfall and lights is the prettiest one troutredds .But the little snow covered christmas tree in the first one is Christmas

Pond's froze over. A potted plant tipped over in the wind the same night that it froze over, so now it's probably gonna be on it's side until March.

Oh, they're definitely dead. Actually, the big ones aren't nearly as green as they appear in the video, but they did look good up until about 5 or 6 days ago. I planned on removing them all, but the pond froze before I got the chance.

I DID cut back all our lilies in October, like I normally do, but with the oddly warm weather we had - UP UNTIL LAST WEEK! - the pads just kept coming! First time ever I have lily pads in the ice!

Seriously - on the 30th of November I was out riding my bike! WHAT HAPPENED??
