What does your pond look like ... Today?

Here are some pics of this morning.

Great series, pecan. We had an orange and black koi like yours in pic #9 but lost it to a raccoon last winter. All your fish and plants look great!

Actually though, I was just outside messing with the Hornwort and noticed a bunch of tiny fry! Judging by the size, they probably JUST hatched.

Looking great as always, JB.

Do thoses snakes go in water like the grass snakes around here? Scary looking black rat snake!!!

I don't think they do, very seldom see them ,they are pretty shy.

I really enjoy viewing all the wonderful images posted on this thread. See if you can find the trout in each of these pics from late this afternoon. Hint: he's coming at me in the first shot. The last one's my favorite.

Left, middle, left and hello beautiful trout how big is he?
Boy would my hubby love to have a pond big enough to have some trout. Is it rainbow? We go trout fishing in Missouri, near Springfield. I actually used to have a hobby of fly tying, but my hands cramp too much to do it now
Very nice Red.

Thanks a lot, Fishylove. I also enjoy fly fishing and fly tying. The last photo is of our largest female rainbow - just over 18 inches. We had one spawn then unfortunately jump out a couple weeks later, harassed by a horny little male. She weighed just under three pounds on our kitchen scale. She did get some eggs fertilized by one of our two males though. I found a few babies a couple weeks ago and posted this photo:

I was raised in Rockville, Md, then moved to Phoenix for years, now many moons later back almost in my home stomping grounds! We settled out here for the rural area and a house with land. Poor honey had to drive 50 minutes to work for us to do this, but he is retired now so no more work driving.

I find it hard to believe the change, in four years from all grass to ponds and plants, my keep busy therapy without going to work lol

What a view to see every morning when you rise! You have made such a nice place to live addy
