What does your pond look like ... Today?

And he's a fine looking fella @JBtheExplorer
I haven't seen any around my pond lately but every once in awhile I hear a kerplop and assume it is a frog.

kerplop maybe aliens from another world .

In the cool of early morning, I sat out by the pond and watched the sunrise. At 3:15 pm it's up to 95, way to hot for this boy.

Beautiful sunrise!

Thought I'd show how my water lilies have looked over the last three years.

2014: My first year with the pond. The plants were fertilized and did better than I expected for their first year.

2015: I never fertilized them, and it showed. They didn't do well at all. The pads were small, they were in fewer numbers, and they turned yellow fairly quickly.View attachment 93559

2016: I've been fertilizing them and they've been doing great! This is the best they've ever looked. In fact, I even have one less lily pot this year.

WOW That sure made a difference! Next year for sure I will fertilize mine!

Mine also love to hangout there.
And molly flips over those steps up, and again comes down with that stream

A few months ago, I bought a transfer pump to steal water from my lower pond, and put it in the upper one. It has a 2 inch hose, and pumps 195 GPM. It creates quite the current. My fish love it.

 

[Harshit]

I bet you'll love it

Where is the water? There are 6 ponds in that picture!

Big pond still beautiful!

2 of my Turtle Island lilies are blooming today. I've had blooms on all 3 but they keep getting chewed up. I may be able to divide them up next spring! The Colorado lilies I got from Addy are taking over.

Love that purple color of the lily @mrsclem

Can you spot the difference around my pond area?
