Beautiful!
What are you planning for the pond? Fishing, swimming, wildlife....?
I like the look of dye too, but in my application, I am afraid of the side effects of disruptiong the lower end of the food chain for my fish, my primary purpose.
I planted more desirable plants to help take up nutrients that would otherwise have been used by algae.
I am also in a very different part of the country than you are! Upstate is lovely.
