What does your pond look like ... Today?

The iguana in the picture is a common green iguana, like what you would buy in a pet store. We have two rare species found only here, the blue iguana and the rock iguana. The blue is very cool.[/QUOTE]

Ugly suckers. Dinosaurs. We saw herds of them in Mexico this year. Do all of them have that missing piece on the tail. I just noticed it.

A year ago today I had an idea. I didn't know exactly how I was going to do it, but I knew I wanted a pond to go there. I can't wait to see what changes in the next 365 days.

Nice change!

WOW!!! That was just great everybody!! I loved to see all the pictures, made me feel good to see others still had snow and cold... misery loves company!! ha ha ha!

Mitch you should be thawed out by summer... Jeepers, you got a ton of snow this year and we sure had lots of extreme cold this year compared to last year.

I posted this on the newbies board, but I figured I'd put it here, too. This pond came with the house I purchased in January, as well as at least an inch of leaves, six dead frogs, several dead fish, a broken pump and a filter clogged with 25 pounds of muck. I'm nowhere near finished yet and plan to add more plants once my nursery gets them in stock, but I'm pleased with my progress so far considering how badly neglected it was.

I'm dubbing it "White Water". Sure seems a lot smaller than when I last saw it. Do ponds shrink?

 

[callingcolleen1]

ha ha ha! The hole in the ice makes the pond look smaller. My snow and ice is all gone today and weather is 37 F (+3C)

Are you sure it didn't shrink? I'm worried. My wife tells me that lots of stuff shrinks when it gets really cold.

Was 11C here yesterday and sunny, 8C today.....could be up to 12C/sunny tomorrow.

Ponds must shrink, because I'm always reading about people needing to make them bigger.

Drilled the ice again today.
Still 10 inches thick.

How long between the photos, taherrrman? That's quite the hillside renovation.
