Feathers, my camera is an Olympus C765 Ultra Zoom. Newer model out now. I really worked on these pics though because the sun was down low enough that it reflected off the water and faded the fish. My program allowed me to take some of the glare out. The fish colors are true now. They were bleached looking before I edited them.
She walks around in those ponds all the time. She was in both while we were there, cleaning filters and pushing plant pots here and there. I told her she's going to get a foot fungus. She said, M-o-t-h-e-r, I've been doing this for years and I don't have it yet.
Scots, the algae is terrible. She is constantly digging stuff out of pots and filters. Never a day without work on it.
They do have big old shade trees on all sides except the north on the big pond. The little pond (10 feet across) gets morning sun. There is huge hickory tree over the small pond so she scoops out hickory nuts all the time. It was a mess yesterday. I couldn't walk without rolling on a nut.
Their yard is large and very hilly. My back and legs were so sore after walking all over the property.
