Waded in the little creek and got some better pics.
I've heard that American Pondweed is not too bad to have in a pond as weeds go. This is some type of pondweed but not sure what kind yet. In my old pond where I recently made the shallow "frog area" was thinking of transplanting some weed cover.
This is one I'm considering, but do not want to introduce somehting that will become a nightmare.
