What does your pond look like ... Today?

[JBtheExplorer]

It's snowing. It's about time I get the pond breather in and the net off.

Snows's over. We didn't get too much but it was really wet, heavy snow.

The pond today. Note the snowman on top of the waterfall.

We had this few inches of wet snow on December 3rd. We’ll get more in a few days. I hope it’s not too wet and heavy again. Trees around here sometimes drop limbs from heavier snow loads and it sounds like fireworks going off when they drop.

Waiting patiently for the much loved white stuff to come again!

They are saying now that we prolly won't get a white Christmas but that's ok as I have family coming over on Christmas Eve and they need to drive here and home.
How about either before or after please

This was last week , but this week brought rains and washed the snow away

I was asked to get an aerial shot of the pond . while i did pickup a drone I have yet to play with it but while up on the roof i took these
now
The red at the top of the picture is the matrix bog 8x20x6
The orange is the pea stone bog 6x8
The gray is the stream 25 feet
and the pink is a upper pond that feeds the two falls to the main pond 12x8
t

The other pink area is the main pond 37x25 at the widest and 5.5 feet deep
The green is a negative edge and catch pool
The yellow is the 3000 gallon underground cistern

Looks great all year long! You have accomplished a bunch in all those different areas of working pond features none of which I have I'm sorry to say.

i'f you had the tools and rubber hanging around, and access to all the hardware you'd do the same.

i guess i'm very lucky when my wife suggested i build a little water feature years ago. she knew not what she started. I do all the outside work so she was like you do as you'd like its your half.

Winter wonderland! I love getting to see the layout from above, and how all the parts fit together. Looking forward to some drone flyovers!

Cedar Waxwings, Robins, Mourning Doves all take turns getting drinks. Barred Owls, Crows and rodents stop by occasionally too - waiting for more good camera captures. 32 degrees this morning when they arrived.

I hope the links work.

Great aerial view @GBBUDD . Good diagram explaining what everything is.

Took the net off the pond yesterday. Today it froze.

For those of you who don't know, my pond breather isn't working. I've got air stones and a de-icer ordered. Until that arrives, I'll be keeping my waterfall going. I have the hose sticking out of the rocks right now to ideally prevent ice from diverting the water out of the pond, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. It's going to be an interesting winter. Hopefully everything comes out the other end in good shape but I've settled with the reality that things could go bad.
