My first attempt to add the 2 pictures I didn't lose on my camera.
Picture #1 is not the one I want to post but the only "full" shot that survived from my camera. There is a growth of some sort of lilly pad, as well as some algae. I do not know the food source of the algae, yet.
Picture #2 is a close up of the algae.
My goal is to cut down on the amount of algae in the pond. And also to build up the dam. I will post pictures of the dam soon to show you what I am concerned with. This is wonderful! I am so glad to have found this forum. Thank you all!
