I'd love to see a full photo, too. Smiling

Thanks, Laurie. Smiling
They're pale green. The water is in shadow then, and maybe gave it a more turquoise look.
But I'm a bit blue challenged, at least according to the color dot test.

The reflections are plants... cannas, aloes, a melaleuca tree in the direct sunlight opposite
the camera.

I took those pics 11/13/20 at ~4:30pm when the sun was in the southwest.

BTW, water lettuce is the perfect raft for bees to come and get a drink on a hot day.
So easy to grow in just a tub of water. Also attracts frogs. Put some mosquito fish
in and/or some Mosquito Bits......no problem.

Lately the ducks (mallards) have taken over the pond that time of day, so we haven't
been able to sit & enjoy the reflections. But that's Ok.....it's their pond. Green Grin!

If you haven't tried water gardening yet, I hope you will this year.
Very easy & satisfying. Smiling
Learn and/or create something every day.
