Pond blog : 6

I managed to get the pond dried out a bit more this morning in the hot sun. Pity the days are getting shorter and the sun isn't on the pond for so long now. After my evening meal I hope I managed to get the edge level. It doesn't look much different in the photo below to how it did last time. Now I have to decide if I line the hole with sand or carpet. Another day of drying won't go amiss.


Vimto is a great wasp attractant. The dregs in a glass gave me the opportunity to trap a couple of the stripy insects and cool them down for another macro attempt. I need more practice with the manual focusing with all three extension tubes attached. The bounce card worked well on the flash though.
