What does your pond look like ... Today?

You got that right addy...........he tries to make everything he can. Right now he's making me a galvanized steel container to hold cat food bags so meeces can't get it. He was making me a windmill but it's on hold cuz he says he has more pressing things on his plate right now.

Hope you get your windmill soon.

It is dark and cold but the fish are still on the move! My very own Glo fish in pic 2. And the 3 Amigos in pic 3. I'm gonna miss them this winter!

I bought a little garbage can from lowes with a locking handle. I hang it in a tree with the fish food in it. So far keeping the bugs, raccoons, mice etc out.

Autumn sun here on Monday...

Darker this morning (before more rain ), but can you find the two trout hidden in this shot?:

 

[j.w]

I see one by that right hand green blade plant and one next to the rock by the little oj fish. Does the heron visit your pond? Pretty blooming WH!

They can't hide from your trained ponder's eye, j.w, no matter how well camouflaged. A blue heron swiped two small koi last December, but as long as I have our two "Scarecrow" motion detecting sprinklers operating, they stay away. I even saw one swoop in this spring, get sprayed and immediately fly away. The sprinklers actually scared the poop out of the would-be thief - if you think seagulls poop a lot, you've never seen the mess a startled blue heron can leave behind!
Now if I can just remember to turn off those sprinklers before walking in front of them and soaking myself...

What do you do when the weather starts to freeze Red? I know we don't get much freezing weather but it can happen. Those crows will freeze up solid. My friend up the road uses them too and has gotten sprayed a few times also
