Eisschichten und Reflexionen.

#PondLife #TextureTuesday #Frostodon

Eine Eisschicht, die nicht glatt ist, sondern aussieht, wie mit einem Farbpinsel ungleichmäßig verteilt, spiegelt den Himmel und eine Trauerweide verzerrt wieder. Ein vertrocknetes Blatt liegt auf dem Eis.Das Eis erscheint fast wie ein abstraktes Bild mit Farben zwischen braun, gold und braun.Hier spiegelt die Eisschicht den Himmel - sie wirkt also blau bis dunkel und die Riefen des Eises erscheinen wie gerade und zum Teil parallele Streifen.Blaues Eis mit einer unregelmäßigen Oberfläche, darunter zwei große eher geschwungene Bereiche.

There naughty chickens won’t stay in their run. This evening they decided to join our wild deer for a St. Stephen’s Day supper.

Three red-eared sliders stacked on a mossy log, soaking up the quiet warmth of the pond. A fleeting moment of balance, patience, and reflection. This image is available as a print at WoodSpritePhoto.com?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Photo-Pipeline.

Three red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) bask on a moss-covered log in a body of water. The turtles are sorted by size, with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top. The water reflects the log and turtles.

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

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.

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.

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.

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