What does your pond look like ... Today?

Water is a little green, but the plants are thriving and becoming more established.

My cannibal bullfrog left last week, and ever since, it seems like the younger bullfrogs are more willing to sit out in the open.

She's back! A month later and my cannibal Bullfrog has returned. She's pretty skinny now. I expect her to eat a frog or fish pretty soon.

Current lotus flowers. Early this am:

The one to the right is on its 3rd day petals falling off. Both on the left opened this am.

Then closed down as of now

The lilies today

A unknown flower that just showed up.

These two dragon flies finally sat long enough for a quick shot.

This lily is in the 1000 gallon tank. Really large with great rippled petals.

Security cam screen grab of our fish bandit, 5:23am. Luckily, the fish were all deep at the time...

Getting some gross scum on the surface in the afternoons, probably because the pond gets no shade in the afternoon and it's been incredibly hot. So we planted a tree! Hopefully in 4-5 years we get some shade...

I see you're playing the long game. Happy leaf skimming!

Water is still clearing, but 3 lily blooms today!

Yeah!

I caught the bees gathering up pollen first thing this am, loving the hot tub pond plants. You can see one on the lily, water willow and yellow heart.

Fun shot of the waterfall from first thing this morning. You can just see the spider web strung across in front of it, shining in the sun.
