What does your pond look like ... Today?

[Troutredds]

I use a pool skimmer, and it works great.

Ditto - and I like the long reach of the telescoping pole handle.

Ahh fall... Or as I like to call the "the time of year the trees poop all over my yard"

That looks like a nightmare! I was lucky this year. I'm not sure why, but I didn't have nearly as many leaves in my pond this year as I did previous years.

I still have to clean out a handful now and then, since we're still not frozen up here. The fish are swimming around every day and frogs are always seen sitting in pots. Very odd for December, but I like it. I know we'll get the snow sooner or later, so it might as well be later!

It actually wasn't that bad. The tree just dropped almost all it's leaves in a 2 day period so I can't really complain. Especially given what you guys deal with during the winter months. I am hoping you guys have a very tame winter.

I have one with 16' pole. I use it for the leaves that have sunk, But the rake works better to get the surface leaves to edge where I can scoop them out.

It's been awhile but I have been terribly busy with studies and doing some plant trimming but here is how it looks. Oh and now it's rainning like cats and dogs in the evening with scorching sun in the day so the plants is just flourishing.

Alpravinosh, you must live in a tropical area.

Today

Getting a good dump, white Christmas for sure. Had some decent ice on the water over Thanksgiving, but it's been real warm till last night. I might test my water later.

The pond is slush right now. We're getting snow/freezing rain. Last night I saw a Bullfrog hanging out on the surface. Looking at the forecast, I probably won't be seeing any more frogs for awhile.

The final photo I took of my pond in 2014 was at night with my neighbor's Christmas lights in the background. I decided to repeat that for 2015. By the way, I can't believe we're going into 2016 already. Time moves a little too quickly.

Mine is still the same, lilies growing, water flowing.

Time for a reset. A brand new year means new, empty folders. I can't wait to see what's in my 2016 Outdoors, Camping, Pond, and Native Garden folders at the end of the year!
