This Pond frequently has a case of bathtub ring. The hump in the middle is infrequently an island.

Gander Territory
Ring-a-round the rosie, A pocket full of posies, Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down.
Sometimes an Island, Sometimes Not
There is enough water in this pond currently so that the island is completely surrounded by water. Though with little watershed, the water disappears eventually. I may remove the island in the future and dig this pond deeper.
Dry Iowa
Just as last fall was dry, this spring has continued to be dry. There wasn’t much snowmelt this spring, but some moisture has collected in the bottom of this pond, that was dug deeper back in 2012.
July 2013 Landscape
Sunrise and wind turbines frequently mix on the horizon. Thunderstorms are frequently popping up in the hot summer months. Sun, water, and fog combined for this photo:
Island Meeting
The Canadian Geese have gathered for a meeting on my island. This is the reason I like islands on my ponds.
Finally Islandized
Rain was hard to come by earlier this year but enough rains have fallen so that the streams started running again. My island is finally an island with water around it!
Wheelbarrow Island
So after a little time working in the cold weather, I have finally built my island. Now I just need some rain to make it an actual island.
Beginning Pond Island
Brought the wheelbarrow down to the pond to use for transporting dirt and building an island. This will be the first pond island on our place. Hoping to give the Canadian geese a better place to have a nest.
