What does your pond look like ... Today?

I think I have seen the plant you were asking about out in the yard, but no clue what it is, one of those I leave to grow as it might be a "good" plant for the bees.

I had a dead bird in my pond this morning. Poor thing, I have no idea how he died but saw him in the waterfall early this morning. I'm glad I went and checked it out, I thought it might be a floating lily that busted free last week and almost ignored it. That would have been a mess. Anyway he is out but it was not a lovely way to start my morning.
Although mine was better than the poor bird so I guess I can't complain.

Welcome to the group, Erin. I'm glad you get some shade around your pond. I love the look of your flagstone.

After dredging the leaves twice I've got the upper hand again, my water looks very inviting, algae only on the liner. The edges and creeping jenny are free of bubbly floaty algae.! My neighbor just came over to borrow my sump pump to drain his pond, he said he saw a lot of mosquito larvae!!! I suggested he run an air bubbler to keep the water fresh.

Saw my first frog ! I was sitting on the pond wall and he hopped across the yard and climbed up the wall, jumped into the pond, swam across to the other side, and climbed out. Too cool!

And my Lotus seeds are doing great. Several leaves floating.

I really thought saving my old water from the pond would help more ,but not .I even cleaned part of the old liners back and laid it in the pond with the muck on it .At least that is helping some but not as much as I thought .I guess time and patience again

Do you have Bullfrogs?

Do you have Bullfrogs?

That was my first thought...

My pond water looks like weak coffee... or strong tea, depending on your preference. We have a crabapple tree that drops blossoms into it every year by the bucket load. They "skim" out, but if I didn't clean out the overflow quick enough and all the rain has turned them all into a nice pile of brown gloop. That's the technical term, FYI. Hence the stained water.

Ahhhh... this too shall pass!

This turtle laid her eggs right in front of my pond side bench this morning. I guess that I will have a great seat for the hatching! LOL
