HIKING - MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE POND

Have you ever visited a pond so clear and so clean that you can see a beautiful image staring back at you?  'Yes you, handsome' - as Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder would say.

Ponds come in many shades, and all are not so lovely or clear. However, that doesn't mean that something is wrong with the pond or water. Of course, you should never drink from a 'wild' source of water.

On top of those dangerous little bugs in the water, what if a rabid animal just wandered by and slobbered all in the water and so forth and then someone tasted the water and..... Oh my, it's too terrible to continue....

Tannin is one mineral that can be found in ponds and tends to turn the pond a very rusty, harmless color. Other ponds may have a green slime floating on top or it may have white scum at the edges.

The type of ponds that tend to be ones to avoid are those that have the dead fish floating on top.
