What does your pond look like ... Today?

[addy1]

Very nice!

I'm all about the warm white myself on my pond but on the bike I always run with the blue people see it and pay attention everything a biker could ask.
Some states forbid tge blue but when I tell them why they just ask I change tge color so I go to ice blue
The red In your samples look pretty cool .. . Gates to hell ....

Not today, but December 17th we had an overnight blizzard that dumped a record overnight snowfall of 40 inches (overnight, there was nothing on the ground on the 16th, and when we woke up on the 17th, there was this). My pond, from my back porch. It's in there somewhere. That triangle-shaped lump you see is the very top of a full size Adirondack chair that's sitting beside the top of the waterfall, which is also in there...somewhere (not running, shut off for winter).

Don't underestimate the 300watt titanium aquarium heater. It does the job, even with the pond totally uncovered and no pump in it this year. No hint of surface ice. I'm kinda worried about it melting a hole in the liner, to be honest. Probably need to put it on a rock in there. Water is brown from leaves. I fought a good battle, but the tannins won.

The view from my steps, looking down from my porch (the handrail is full height), then halfway through digging myself out, then the breezeway, where you can really appreciate the depth of the snow (that's the top of the garage it's up to there), and after several hours of shovelling out.

It's all melting now...and flooding everything, which is why I've not been here to post photos earlier, my basement is nearly a foot deep and the pond pump is being repurposed into a sump pump temporarily. News about the snow/floods:

We are supposed to get heavy rain again but temperatures back up to the mid 50's and all the way up to the mid 60's by saturday .Oh well better than snow .But I sure wish they would finish my truck .I miss her under the carport .They are now doing the new undercoat on her .We get heavy fog because at night it gets down to the teens and then during the day up to the 50's ,Fog just about every morning and it is funny because I am up on a hill and it settles down to the road which I can't see but I can see above it to the hills on the other side .They call it foggy bottom around here

The goldfish were in a good mood last night.

Amazingly, we didn't even get a dusting from that storm, at my house in northwestern Vermont.

What is the plant to the right of the waterfall?

 

[BKHpondcritters]

@TimsPond If you mean the one with tiny blue flowers, it looks like forget-me-not.

BKHpondcritters is correct. They are forget-me-nots. Real easy to grow. They are rooted at the side between some rocks and then they spread out on top of the water. They were beautiful this year until the toads came and started mating. Broke them all apart. It recovered, but wasn't as large. I took the pieces that broke off and gave them away. There are also forget-me-nots in the foreground of this picture.

snow early then 44 degrees now 4 of my new cameras installed .more leds and better night vision and better quality and recording capabilities .It only records when movement is detected .Drain lines done for bathroom and new rockwool put in old fiberglass is out .Patched in subfloor .snow gone new awnings over both sets of sliding glass doors

 

[JBtheExplorer]

My pond looks like it normally does this time of year.

 

[sissy]

No snow here but big temperature swings mid to high 50's during the day and then 20's at night .But at least no snow. I do not like snow but don't mind a little cod weather as it kills off some of the bugs .Great thing is the birds are having a great time eating all the bugs that come out of the ground during the warm days .Keeps up I am going to have 100 lb. birds this summer .
