Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Found Photo of House and pond just after being built

Hey I found this photo of the pond just after being built. It has been expanded some but this gives you a general idea of the pond.

Eric, the link's not happening for me. Just a blank page is all I get.

works for me...came up as an MS program that uses the USGS photos in the same manner as Google-Earth.
Nice package, Eric. Do you own some of the timber in the back?

I own about 200 yrds back into the woods as well. I am thinking of getting the rest of the woods from my neighbor down the street. He owns the rest of the woods. Most of the woods is classified as wetlands and as such can't have any ponds built on it. But it would be nice to expand a bit more. I also own the bushes that are all in a row behind the next 4 or 5 houses. That is part of my Blueberry business. My property is a bit strange (it goes in an L shape behind most of my neighbors) I have about 3+ acres total. But with the woods behind me I would like to expand it to something like 500 acres.

It was interesting to see this pic. It must have been taken about 2 weeks after the pond was built because it is full of water and I do not yet see the fence around it. I had to put up one to make sure people did not fall in.

Its hard to see but above the pond is the seasonal creek. I know its not big but its my bit of heaven. I would love to expand it more, ( and i do and have when I had a chance ) The one large tree was lost in an ice storm and I have expanded up that way as well as deeper into the woods. With all the trees on two sides its pretty in the summer and fall. It also gives nice shade and places for the fish to move throughout the day.

Well enough of my rambeling here. I just thought I would share this to all who have talked to me about the pond as it has been growing over the years.

For some reason, I can see the pics now on my work computer. Then again, I'm not on Pond Boss while at work, so I can't see it.

Looks great, Eric!

Thanks Sunil, Just fun to see it out there.

Eric, you ever get any black bears? that blueberry patch right next to woods sure would be a tasty meal for em.

Did you see the picture that is taken prior to the pond being completed?

No bears just deer fox coyote eagles hawks turkey ...etc

Was there a pic of the pon in progress?

There is a series of photos in that link. The one that you highlights looks like it was taken in winter some time. Highlight the small photos on top, expand them, and there is a summer time photo of your place with no pond.
