Description

I encountered this lovely farm pond on a hot summer afternoon and was enthralled by how peaceful and serene it appeared. I watched for awhile as the cloud pattern changed in the mirror-like water. It was a delightful experienced and caused me to want to stay.

A pond is a body of standing water, either natural or artificial, that is usually smaller than a lake. They may arise naturally in floodplains as part of a river system, or they may be somewhat isolated depressions . Usually they contain shallow water with marsh and aquatic plants and animals. The type of life in a pond is generally determined by a combination of factors including water level regime (particularly depth and duration of flooding) and nutrient levels, but other factors may also be important, including presence or absence of shading by trees, presence or absence of streams, effects of grazing animals, and salinity.
