This pond has been neglected for years before we bought the land three weeks ago. I've started clearing a lot of the unwanted undegrowth around the banks. This is the view from our front porch, before I started and what I've done so far. I want to leave some trees for shade, but want to remove most of the undergrowth, for viewing and accessibility. I still have a long way to go, but so far, so good. Thanks for looking.
