What does your pond look like ... Today?

We are back to a light ice cover which will be gone in about 3 hours. As soon as the sun pops up

@DCPlumber - welcome to the GPF! And what a cool pond!

We had ice on the pond on Friday, and 59 degrees yesterday. I don't think we've had ice cover for more than a week running this winter.

 

[DCPlumber]

Thanks. I also added pictures in the showcase section.

Pond is thawing. Sadly, I found a dead frog on my marginal shelf. Can't get it out of the pond today, but the ice should melt enough for me to remove it tomorrow.

Here's the pond on this incredible day. Frogs have been popping their heads up. Pond is 100% thawed for the first time this spring.

Fixed the cable end, cleaned the cam lens, a bit crooked, need to straighten. The hornwort is growing great.

My last Aquascape camera died and the other quit but think the problem is the cable running from the DVR. Not looking to buy 2 new cameras.

Luckily it was just my cable end that went bad, not the camera end but the long one that goes to the DVR.

My pond looks very green, just right for celebrating St Pats Day soon

Mine is up and running fully. I cleaned out all the filters and padsvand hooked up the smaller pumps a couple days ago. Pond has been running all winter with the main pump. I just need to hook up my smaller water feature pumps.

The good news is that I got my pond going today! However, the voles chewed a hole in my hose for the second year in a row, so this is how my waterfall looks until I feel like sticking my hands in the cold water to replace it. It's an easy enough fix after I rerouted everything last year to make it easier.

My bog bean is starting to grow.

and here's a snail with an algae-covered shell.

Here's the pond today. First spring photo of the year. Still waiting for warmer weather so I can replace my waterfall hose and get the breather out. You can see the Prairie Smoke (at the very bottom of the photo) is growing. I planted it there last year, so I'm hoping to see its first blooms this year. It's an early bloomer and should be blooming in about a month.

Not the best shot, cam lens has a bit of rain on it. The daffodils are blooming all over.

 

[GBBUDD]

Not the best shot,
