Garden Fountain

14 Comments

After having been quite frozen and with only an ice-encrusted fountain to keep the water moving during last month’s cold snap, the fish pond in our Japanese Garden is back in good nick. Two weeks ago it looked like this:

There had been some significant thawing from the week before but I still couldn’t see any of the fish.

Then there was yesterday:

The fountain and pond were looking much warmer of course and I spotted some of the fish.

If you look to the mid-lower left you will see some fishy looking shapes; we saw about seven of them. They are in a state of quasi-dormancy during winter, but are very slowly swimming and do seem to have come through our nasty deep-freeze just fine.

Happy Monday.

    1. Thanks, Allan. Yes, I kept wondering about that fountain but it kept going and seems to be fine. The fish are moving rather slowly (cold water will definitely do that!) but don’t appear to be any the worse for wear.
