What does your pond look like ... Today?

[Lisaebetten]

Most of the green in my pond pics is reflected color on the water's surface from tall firs, cedars etc. around our pond. The gunite (concrete) sides and bottom do have a nice trimmed carpet of dark green, though. No wonder Washington State's motto is "The Evergreen State"! Our japanese maple is finally turning red anyhow...

View attachment 76782 The water temp here is lowering, but the fish are still hungry. We feed the trout sparingly through the winter but the comets and koi will stop eating soon. They're stilling begging for food today though!

It that a deeper hole, like for a plant, in the center of the fish? Or is it a shadow?

you should look for a small maple by your pond!!!

I would want to take out the tree that's there now before I added more leaf throwers. Although it would look really pretty against my fence.

Really trust me, I'm not trying to push sex drugs!!!

At least the sex and drugs would be cheaper!! LOL

I believe that's our bottom drain you're refering to, @Lisaebetten. It's about 4.5 ft. down and has a black pool drain cover over it. We thought it would blend in better then a white drain cover. Too bad we couldn't find a dark green cover - it would have been perfect!

It's out of focus from low light, but here's moonlight over our pond at 5:15 this morning.

It was awesome! Low light pics don't do it justice.

I'm a bit out of focus at that hour too!

If by a bit out of focus you mean snoring and drooling then Hey me too!!

Beautiful picture Red. Do you have the fog there now? We have it but the sun is trying to appear slowly. Looks like it's going to be a nice day but a bit cooler. At least that rain and wind is gone.

He's probably taking a nap j.w.

No fog down here this morning - just bright sun, thank you very much! Very nice change after this week's icky weather.

Here's my pond after spending a long time netting leaves. Still have the pump running but I'll be taking it out real soon.

...and here's how my bog looks. Cleaned a lot of leaves out of it as well. The bog plants are finally starting to die off.

I'm so tickled. Look what I found today. It's a tree face!
He's going to go on the tree that sits right in front of the pond. I love the face.. Heeeheeee

Very nice, @JBtheExplorer! I look forward to some great Wisconsin snow shots from you this coming winter. We have family in Milwaukee and Chicago, so I know firsthand what your winters can bring. It was cold and snowy last Christmas when we visited, but a couple years before that, it was sweatshirt weather in Chicago for the holidays. I hope it's not another really cold one for you this year. Stay warm!

Very cool! Could you flip the eyes over, so he has eyebrow instead of bags? He looks like me taking pictures at 5:00 am! Just a thought - it will look great either way. Post picks when it's up!
