This photo is of a small pond in a wetland area. The sky is blue with an number of white clouds in view. A tree stump, approximately three feet high, is seen in the middle of the pond. As this photo was taken in mid-November, most of the leaves have already fallen from the surrounding trees. Some ducks can be seen swimming in the water, and "sunning" while sitting on rocks that are above the water's surface. Cattails can be seen in the foreground of the photo at the "near edge" of the pond.

I don't think I have twisted off the cap for the cleanout since I bought the whole assembly... 5months? I only slid the end into the pipe in August so hadn't needed to screw off the cap. It took some leverage/persuasion to turn it.

But I was successful, and now the big filter can be drained. The water was actually higher than the bottom of the cap but no big deal, it's not really under any pressure.

looking down into some gravel with some fallen brown leaves in the middle of the picture is a open 4 inch pipe with water nearly at the top of it and a smaller corrugated pipe and electrical cable going down in. There is a red handled pipe wrench beside and the cap is just above it.

emptied the pond overnight. We have had so much rain this past month! All are full. I am going to drain it all and keep it drained until I get the pumps wired and can habe them installed and running. Don't want the water to get stale and unhealthy.

I think I might hire a stone mason to build the wall.

moving the pump into the intake bay now. It should be empty by the time I am back from the day's ceremonies.

yesterday afternoon before I put the pump in the pond it was full to the brim with plenty of leaves floating on the surface.

this morning pond is a large empty hole again with some rocks, layered and piled along the side lots of leaves

#PondLife

A pond surrounded by phragmites and trees with autumn colors

the #pandemicpond is nice in the fall. Always full. Full of all stages of plants. Still attracts birds for a bath. The fish are happy.

Ill need to get my trusty strainer and retrievve the leaves and things before too many sink to the bottom.

i'll look over top of the top pond shows vegetation on the end nearest the stream and some leaves floating in the main body of the pond with dying Lilly pads, goldfish, deep near the rocks

working down the stream, it is lined with moss and grass.

The bottom pond has captured a lot of leaves. The water is dark but clear.

Since I posted a picture of a Ring-necked duck that I mistook as a Redhead Duck, I thought that to atone I would try to take an intentional picture of one. Here you go Ring-necked Ducks everywhere - I recognize you as the splendid water fowl that you are.

This photo was taken overlooking a pond in a wetland area. A walking trail circles around the pond with different views provided. It was taken on a pleasant fall weather day with a blue sky and a number of smaller white clouds overhead. Reflections of both the sky and clouds can be seen on the surface of the water. Trees extend from the left side to the right side in the background of the frame. Although later in October, most of the leaves in this area on the trees are still green.

See this Ring-necked Duck? See that amused, slightly mocking look that she's giving me? It's because she knows that I'm all excited because I think she is the Redneck Duck that I've been trying to get a picture of for two weeks. I held on to that excitement until I ran into a birder who manages to not completely forget everything about all of the ducks who disappear over the summer. Sigh.

A vertical photo framed by dark green foliage at the top and bottom foreground, looking across a calm, dark pond reflecting an isolated, vibrant orange and reddish-brown conical tree. The central tree is surrounded by a dense mix of green and yellow-green deciduous trees under a light grey and white cloudy sky. Tall grasses grow along the edge of the water near the base of the main tree.

A lush, detailed photo of a tranquil garden pond framed by dense, dark green foliage and autumn-coloured leaves hanging down from above. The pond's surface is dappled with small lily pads and reflects the surrounding trees and the bright sky. A tall, conical tree in the centre-right stands out with vibrant burnt orange foliage, indicating the change of season. The overall mood is peaceful and rich with the textures of nature.

I ran into this Glaucous-winged Gull a couple of days ago. I believe he was auditioning to be the town crier.

A Glaucous-winged Gull with his mouth open very, very wide.

Georgiana Brummell boosted:

Canvasbacks are very rarely found here and when one does drop in, they generally only stay for a couple of days before flying off to wherever it is they fly off to, but this one seems to have settled in - long enough apparently to develop a tempestuous relationship with a turtle.
