yea done well.

when the light burns out look at putting the lights on the wall closest to you . Shine accross the pond . This way you don't have the light in your eyes.

Great job, nice looking pond. Cool that you are sticking with native plants.

Nice! Another Northern Virginia resident here.

Where did you get the water Forget-Me-Nots?

Also, make sure to join the Mid-Atlantic Ponds and Water Gardens Facebook group, lots of other NoVa pond owners on there and always have plants to share. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2336985269747414/

I ordered them from playitkoi as they were already out of season in Virginia. Apparently you have to get them in very early spring. Thanks for the heads up about the group.

Have you had any issues with predator's? Racoons? Love the pond and bog

Yes, I have one predator who has been frequenting my pond. I have not caught it in camera yet to determine what exactly it is.

Haven’t posted in awhile, but figured I’d post a small update with an Evening feeding. Pond and fish are doing well and now that we are beginning to head into fall I’m beginning to start thinking about steps to winterize the pond. I plan to leave the pump running 24/7 and have already got two nets to cover both the pond and bog from falling leaves. Hope everyone is doing well.

Added some rope lights.
