Pond repair time lapse

In November 2016, I hired my neighbor to repair the dam that makes my pond. He has lived here all his life. (He's in his upper 60s.) He said this pond was old when he was a boy. Beavers had burrowed through the dam, and trees had fallen, taking big chunks of the dam with them. He repaired the dam, and deepened the pond. Here is a time-lapse movie of one day's work.

Sorry, Maurice. I think I haven't got videos figured out yet. It works for me.

Managed to view in the end, I must have an older version of Flash player even though I have a new computer. Quiet impressive a bit like the old flicker photos with some movement between each shot.

Glad you could watch it, Maurice. I don't remember how long it is between frames - quite a few seconds I think. The bulldozer could move a long distance between frames.

I like it a lot. It is surrounded on three sides by the forest. It is full of turtles and fish. Ducks nested in both nest boxes last summer.

Hey! That's really cool!!! Glad you got it fixed...our pond needs to have a lining on the bottom if we ever hope for the water to stay past early June! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Janet. It is greatly improved. As you might be able to see in the video, there was very little water in it. Now it has kept a stable level for a couple of years. I think the fish and turtles are probably a lot happier now.
