Not only are these relaxing people serene, the ship we were on was called Serenity.

the corals swaying in the flow of the water and the whirring sound of the powerheads, best stress reliever ever!

@Lars, whiteout? ;-)

My yard is my serene place, all summer

jrb, it’s either the snow in California or Lars has started painting. 😄

Your photo didn't post, Lars.

I couldn't decide between our local beach at dusk, or playing quietly on a lazy summer afternoon...

Thanks, Carol. I can see that now, and so I tried adding it again. Originally it would show up for me in the preview but then it would show as blank. I've been having a lot of trouble with Houzz for the past two or three days, especially with posting photos, links, and emojis. I might have to try a different browser - I'm using Firefox at the moment.

ETA: Same problem when I tried using Chrome, and so that's not it!

Interesting sun shade Joan. How is it mounted in your pond? I need to come up with something for ours.

It is a standard patio umbrella. They last a few years but the base is a replaceable metal umbrella base as well. This is a 9 foot to make it easier to remove for big storms, we can reach it from the edges. Here is a better photo.
