Frozen Pond - Winter Images


There are 12 shivering gold fish in the pond. It is amazing on a warmer day with some thaw how they will be moving around....but definitely slower! See photos below for there usual winter conditions.

Joel and Eli's dog Max.



Cold January Day - high temp around 25F (-4 C) but sunny. The pump continues to run in the pond so the fish have some moving water and O2. The pond was frozen (except for the middle where the pumps gurgles) but we had a fresh snow fall on the ice. It gives a layered appearance.





The next morning...evidence of a critter. Black was not out but I doubt he would venture out on ice anyway. I believe it was a possum or raccoon.
