Comments:

The clouds were moving swiftly and I used a 30 second exposure to try and capture the swirl of movement in the sky and reflections.

We added the pond to our property about 5 years ago, which is about 100 x 150 ft and 20 ft at the deepest point.  We added several varieties of fish which have flourished as well as the pond life.  It is a very tranquil place to spend time and enjoy the beauty of nature in all seasons.
