The weather this morning was so murky and gloomy to start with but by late morning it had picked up and was quite warm so on with the wellies and I managed to do a bit of tidying up round the pond.The water was lovely and clear and the fish seem to have grown quite a bit.
It all seems to be gelling together nicely now.
The grasses and the sedum which you can just see are adding their bit of colour.
and as I turned from the pond I was pleased with the colour that was coming from the Ilex `golden king`, Pyracantha `orange glow`, Viburnum `eve price` and a sedum of which the name escapes me.
All in all I enjoyed a pleasant couple of hours, so glad I did as its tipped it down with rain all evening.

Ta Lincs, must admit it was great to get out and do something.
WLass , Karen - we only have to walk about 10 mins to get into farmland and woodlands and get lots of inspiration from there.
Thank you Weeding for that lovely compliment.
Val and Shirley, the Bridge seems to be merging into its suroundings now. OH didn`t do a bad job!.

Your pond is amazing - love how you walk over it - are your fish or some of them golden rudds ? We have that sort mixed with goldfish. As for the weather it is incredible to think I had the window open at night this week as it was so warm - in November (this is a little worrying it is following lasts years pattern!) Looks sunny next week

All looking very lovely Stroller and hasn't your golden king got a lot of berries for its size. Do you have a male near? I must get a pyracantha, yours looks lovely:-)

Paul, the fish are OH`s hobby, there are 5 Golden Orf, 2 Shabubkins, 1 Metalic carp and 1 English carp.
Bornagain I haven`t noted another golden king nearby, but yes both the pyracanthus I have are loaded with berries this year, hope the old tale of a hard winter to follow isn`t true.
Thanks for the compliment Nosey, coming from a talented artist your comment is greatly appreciated.
