Here's the pond today. It snowed a little.
What does your pond look like ... Today?

We have flowers opening on bushes, buds opening on trees. Lilies sending up leaves and flower buds. Grass growing like a weed.....................where is winter?
I'll say maryland is consistent the last time I was there I woke up the first morning to find ducks swimming under my stairs to my 5th wheel the Chesapeake bay over flowed and wa ll a . And Saturday was my first day back and low and behold no ducks but the bay was a foot above e the bottom of the stairs

This little spike buck came for a snack in the bog. You can see the lily pads hitting the surface in the pond.

They are doing a good job in eating up some of the bog plants that are still growing. In the spring I will do a massive cut down, clean out and toss. I have does and bucks coming through every night. The pond is off so to them it is just land with plants. I can see where they bed on the bog wall and in other plants near the pond.

a couple of pondcam underwater pics from today. The pond's been covered and with the sun out, the water must be warming as they seem more active than they have for the past week.

Thank you, Sir! I owe it all to the fact the pond is enclosed, including a screen top for most of the season and the redbud I have inside was recently pruned back, hence a lot less leaves to drop and for me to fish.

I'm using a Barlus, model 316L (I think that's the model) 2-12mm lens. It's a PoE version and wasn't too hard to set up, once I got email support as I'd never used this type of cam before.
Got to attribute the clarity to both bog and fish being a lot less active lately. I recently looked back on older vids I took with a gopro knockoff and was surprised to see the supposedly clear water I thought I had looked decidedly worse than current conditions. Again, kudos to more/better bog filtration.
