The pond boardwalk across the Yates millpond.

 

Mill

Another view of Yates mill across the millpond.

 

Great Egret

A great egret was hiding in the pond.

He decided we were too close, and took off.

 

Swampy pond

Just a quiet swamp.

 

pond cleanup

They probably could have waded out in the pond to pick up the trash, but they used the boat instead.

 

Boney fingers

The tree branches looked like they were reaching down to their reflection.

 

Adventurers

Who's going to fall in first?

 

Hooded Merganser

This little Merganser was happily diving in the pond all by himself.

 

Pond

It's only a little retention pond, but makes a good swamp picture.

 

Green

It looks like a green lawn, but no.  It's a green pond.  I wouldn't go swimming there.

 

Pond

A quiet pond.

 

Floating greenhouse

Why a greenhouse in the pond?

Are these water plants?  

 

Summer Pond

Cooper's Pond on a quiet day.

 

Spring green

The pond was green, the trees were green and so was the reflection.

 

Springtime at the pond

Green is an intense color in the spring.

 

Pointillism in the pond

A chilly breeze made wavy reflections on the pond.

 

Pond after the rain

A misty afternoon after the rain.

 

Reflection

The reflection of a tree branch in a quiet pond.

 

Clouds in the pond

Sky reflected in the pond.

And here's the sky above.
