It's misleading; the turtle is just below the surface by the bank. AQUASHADE...cannot say it enough. Of course after 3 years all the muddy waters have settled since the pond is built.
Here's a few pictures, we still have work to do around pond and house. We have three willow trees and seven vergreen trees to make like a privacy fence later. Behind the house I have all my fruit trees and things like that. I wanted to see all what y'all put in your pond for ideas for mine. \:\)
First picture is 2007 (2nd pond year) others are this past July. Nothing like having your own private little resort of sorts.
