Have any of you noticed that fish are really hard to photograph?
I chased one of our favorite Wakin, Hotlips Hoolihan, around the pond this morning. I finally got a couple pics of her without her zooming off as I pushed the button or one of her siblings zooming in front of her. She's all white now except for the circle on her tail and her hot, red lipstick. Her caudal flash is silver and large, almost like a corset. That didn't come out in the pics though.

Here's the pond as it is looking today.
Some of you may be interested in another way to hide a skippy. We weren't trying to make the pond look natural so this was an easy solution. It's a 3.5 sided wall of concrete blocks with tiles on top and plaster painted like adobe.
I checked the water temp today, it's 65*. Still too cold for me to get in it when it is only in the 80's outside. I'm guessing the water temp is why there aren't any buds coming up from the lilies.
