Our early fall weather was changing by the hour over the weekend. These pics were taken Saturday from the same perspective, a couple hours apart.

Water looks good, new plants from summer filled out a lot in the last few weeks. My water still has a brown tint to it, but I like it as is seems very natural looking. The pond liner had a lovely green moss like algae growing on it, that looked a beautiful green when the sun was shining on it, but the fish ate it all. Now I see black liner where all the bald spots are. Hopefully it will come back. Not sure though as the fish yank at it all day.

This is what it looks like today but I do live in Sarasota, FL I am thinking about putting in a waterfalls at the one end where the bridge is...
Thanks it is a fresh water drainage pond I have every kind of bird that visits dragon flies, butterflies, fish and turtles and bats in the trees at night

@Shirlpit2 wow that is nice and a waterfall would be nice! You got lucky getting a free pond on your property! What kind of fish are in there?

@Troutredds Beautiful deck! There's your sparkling clear pond again and a neat spider just in time for Halloween! Getting chilly around here now and wet but I hear some nice dry days are coming our way,yay! I need to clean my filters one last time for the year. Will keep my falls running but I already turned off the aerator.

Wow too early for snow! I am enjoying some much wanted sunshine for the next week or so! I hope that cattle is not a party crasher! He needs to go home now.

The cattle around here are really suffering because of the poor availability of feed. Last year our neighbour got 75 bales of hay off his field for winter feed. This year he only got 15 bales because of the lack of water.:(
I told him he can use our property for whatever he needs. The cattle have already run out and are willing to risk the fence to find more to eat in our front yard.
