Yesterday and through the night, we filled the pool; today Atlas Pools returned to finish installing the plumbing fixtures, and set the pump running. They also put chemicals in the water, which sadly mean we can’t go in till at least Sunday – but it’s pretty, and with the pump running, we get to see the bubbler jet and “sheer descent” waterfall!
I also put together a build sequence video – with “action” flowing water from the two minutes point …
The “baby” Great Blue Heron has grown a lot in a month, from a little fluff ball to now almost as big as it’s parent (though, there’s only one baby now). This video shows it pestering a parent for food – sorry it’s poorly lit but the afternoon sun shines right behind the nest!
I created this recording last night of the frog, bird and insect sounds in the wetlands behind our home – tonight the frogs got much louder, don’t know what the trigger was but they were impressive (and presumably they’ll get louder still in the weeks ahead!):
That young Heron is growing fast!
