Haleigh's Pictures of the pond

We have been having some trouble with our pond ever since the heavy rains hit over the summer - the pond was full and holding water, but then the rain just kept coming and coming and coming. That was a good thing for all of our lakes and ponds, but somehow it caused a leak in our pond at the dam. We don't really know what happened, but our pond guy came out to fix it recently. Now, we are holding water, so it is almost full again. Mark, Haleigh, and Jacob went out the other night to see if they could catch any of the bass that we stocked in it. They didn't catch any of the bass, but they did catch a couple of perch. Haleigh had the camera, and these are the pictures that were on the memory card! Haleigh would just die if she knew everyone saw this picture, but it was only one of about ten in which she was giving the peace sign with one hand while taking the picture with the other - she sure is a nut! She thinks she is a little gansta!


Like always, here is a picture of Lightning with JACOB (he can't take a picture without him these days).


You can see the bridge in the bottom right hand corner of this picture, and this is a view of the left side of the pond (almost full again)!

Here is the view to the right of the bridge - you can see the lily pads (few, but growing).

Here is a picture of the left side of the pond from the bridge - so pretty with the reflection of the trees in the water.



I guess she let Mark have the camera for a little! She is using Mark's fly rod, and she has a perch on - look real close and you can see it just above the water.


We can't wait until the bass grow and grow - good fishing to come!
