I ran into a pre-pond photo and enjoyed comparing it to a present day photo. Whew --- all of that didn't happen overnight
Anyone else have some comparison shots?

I'm still in the building process, but was just doing that comparison this morning myself.

Ooh!! I'll play!
These shots are all taken from about the same place, looking the same direction across the pond. First is pre-construction, May 2012:

Pond newly completed, Sept 2012:

And, May 2024:

Now you have me wanting to go back through all the past years & find ones in between!

What a transformation! I love it, glad I didn't have to move all those rocks tho.
