What does your pond look like ... Today?

[sissy]

best way to see if you like it fishy is to take pics from several angles and look at them on a puter .I do that even with my gardens before and after setting out plants in their pots to see if I like the way they look

Yep. I do. Another thing I do is open the pics in my photoshop program and move things around on the image to get an idea of what it might look like. Sure beats moving the same heavy boulder 10 times, or shuffling potted plants here and there. The paint program is a good place to play too.

Here's the same pic after playing in Photoshop - I removed the liner and added some growth to the creeping jenny...

I really like the look you have going w/the falls @Somethin' Fishy
Looks very natural like nature made it that way

What a lovely compliment, thank you for that J.W. A natural look is what we're aiming for, so we're taking our time with it.

My lily pads are finally sprouted up. Hopefully I will start getting some blooms. Had a little late start since I just redid my pond this year.

 

[j.w]

Looks like ya have a lot of pads so won't be long before the blooms come out @bfull1478
I've only had about 3 blooms so far and they were all a pretty yellow.

The lilies in the hot tub are doing a lot better than the lilies in the big pond. I think the bog and pond plants suck a lot of nutrients out of the big pond, leaving less for the lilies. The hot tub pond has less nutrient sucking plants. The water is almost crystal clear, not as clear as the big pond.

That's exactly what happens. Same here, massive sedges take nutrients fast!

I'm so darn mad too. I put stuff away and then can't find it when I need it! Then last week after work I set a bag of frozen food for freezer right next to freezer for just a minute, while I rearranged freezer to fit everyrhing better, then totally forgot about that one bag and it sat out for a couple days till I noticed it sitting there, starting to smell....

I usually am very organized.I guess there has been to much on my mind lately .They are saying severe storm warning for here and nothing got done with it and just tried to protect the hole so the pond does not cave in or blow out ion the unsupported side

After a few attempts, over several days, at fiddling with the waterfall --- I think we're finally getting close to foaming it in for good. Maybe!

At least (so far) we've managed to blend things in naturally without making it look like a firepit with a volcano on one end!
