I wasn't sure the pickerel would bloom this year since my husband didn't bring them back up from the bottom until a few weeks ago, and many leaves had overgrown. I cut back those long leaves and was rewarded with regular sized ones and some blooms today. A few water lilies show through in the background.

Left side pathway that I built about 2 years ago -
to show contrast to right side that I just did last Sunday

New right side pathway built last Sunday

First yellow water lily of this year

Very nice! Love to see the flowering pickerel...mine are not happy that I've stuck them in a small container and very little love.

I agree, you captured the lighting well in your photos.

Awww thanks everyone!

It takes many shots to get the ones I think are ok, but I don't mind - I love seeing everyone's pictures and getting great ideas too.

How very tranquil. I could imagine sitting there with a cup of coffee.

Cheers,

I was actually born in Brookly, but I wouldn't exactly say this was in your neck of the woods, unless your neck is pretty long to reach out to Rockland!

LOL - I get what you're saying though, about being in NY and not on the West coast or Florida, etc.

You wouldn't happen to live in Bensonhurst, would you? Both my parents are from there, as were their entire families until my parents moved to Westchester.

I'm east new York near Howard beach and ozone park queens.

What is that pizza pie looking thing in your pond?

It's my attempt at providing both shade and a hiding spot for the fish. It's actually a large nylon frisbee that has Dora the Explorer on the other side.

It's discolored quite a bit, but I can't seem to find a replacement that size or larger this year.

Have you tried making a floating island? There have been a number of threads on here about those. It could serve the same purpose and allow you to have more plants in the pond too.

Floating island... Hmmmm.

LynneNY · « **Reply #22 on:** June 26, 2012, 03:56:42 PM »

I actually found new yellow frisbees today at Kmart down in NJ, so I bought 2 - one to replace the ugly worn one, and another to hold onto for next year. I will definitely look at the floating island directions again soon - now that I have time this year to do things like that again.
