Here are photos 2 years after construction. As I stated earlier, a pond project requires patience. It's just like farming - there's a time to plant, time to harvest, and time to let it rest. It was cool to see the pond finally show up on satellite pics. While you think you may have something "private" - forget it. Anyone can see what you have on the "back 40" now with a smart-phone. A few dogs, signs, tripwires, and cameras never hurt in keeping punks away.
