What does your pond look like ... Today?

Wow @Ronfire, that's an awesome shot!

We had frost several times here, but daytime temps are still in the 70s, impatient and lilies are still blooming.
I have removed the Taro and the water canna, brought them in to winterize along with two small cuttings of umbrella palm.
I plan to clean up a bit every weekend, hopefully I can enjoy blooms for at least couple more weeks

The pond seems to be a big hit with the local wildlife. A few toads and frogs have set up residence in the skimmer filter and rocks around the edges. The California Scrub Jays like to fight over the waterfall for bathing rights in the morning. And we've had some migratory White-crowned sparrows become loud and active in the evening in the nearby shrubs. They visit the pond for a bath and a drink which makes for some entertaining bird watching.

The creeping jenny is taking over for sure! I love how it grows into the pond and waterfall, breaking up the rocks along the edges.

Here's the pond yesterday. I set a few home-grown pumpkins around. How many can you find?

6 or 7, I don't know if one is really tiny or like a splotch of orange paint?

This time of can be depressing watching out plants die off and the colors fade.

But on the other side of the coin it also brings a second stage of the ponds life
