Aquarium Advice Freak
This first one is just to give you a general sense of the plants & layout. It is from an odd perspective but shows the whole pond except the bog garden on the far right. The circular area in the front is a sitting area for cooling off in the summer.
This one is of my sliders enjoying the sun. Thing is they do so much damage to my lilies & other aquatic plants (eat them mostly) that we are thinking of trading them in for some native mud turtles.
Finally we have a large population of ornate box turtles which really seem to like to have a dip right after they awake from hibernation. This female is just exiting the pond after a swim.
I am still working on capturing all the birds that use the pond. Hopefully I will be able to continue into the summer & establish a more comprehensive gallery. For now this will have to do for an update.
