What does your pond look like ... Today?

I tried them one year, they never did well. Never bothered again.

Same here. Tried them a couple times, they didn't like it in my pond, and I didn't like them enough to keep trying.

Just had a pretty good thunderstorm roll through! Made the landscape timbers on the pond look pretty nice though.

Looks very nice @ShawnInfirmity ! Maybe I should go out tomorrow and walk around as supposed to be thunderstorms here tomorrow and might make me look better too

We have a nest along our rock wall, with four wee baby Oregon Juncos inside. The Oregon variation is a west coast subspecies of Dark-eyed Junco. The adult pictured is an example from the web of a typical male bird.

Interesting and never knew they nested on the ground. Great shot of the babies!

First waterlily bloom of the season.

I finally planted some grass seed along our new patio and it came in well. If the pond water temperature rises a bit, our aquatic plants will finally take off.

I just planted a packet's worth of grass in my native garden. Blue Grama.

We are 47F this am, my pond dropped to 66f. The lilies are very slow about blooming this year.

There are ponds down there, 6 in this view. Dear hubby need to go out with me and pull poison ivy. He does not react, I react horribly and it is everywhere this year. I can't even work on the ponds or around them until some is removed.

The lilies slowly opening. Three buds in the big pond

Penstemon digitalis has started blooming outside of my bog.

Probably the final day for my first lily bloom. More buds are starting to hit the surface.

Got in the pond today and fertilized all the waterlilies.
