No Blue Doodles Allowed

It is my favorite pond day! Blue Pond Day! Each spring we add a blue dye to our pond to keep the algae growth down and to deter herons from fishing.  The blue coloring makes it much more difficult for the herons to see the fish and keeps our fishies safe from their very skilled beaks.

Every job needs a Doodle Team Leader 

The first toss 

Mr. Yesteryear Acres has mad skills 

And it begins! 

Watching the dye disperse is the best part 

Mr. Yesteryear Acres has to toss the dye evenly around the pond 

He is so good - he never turns blue! 

I like this part the best 

Watching the patterns swirl is awesome 

Maverick agrees 

No Blue Doodles Allowed 

From these pictures, it certainly looks like Mr. Yesteryear Acres is doing all the work 

But he DOES have the best appreciation team! 

Just about done 

Good to the last drop 

Watching the colors swirl together 

Blue Perfection!
