Right in my own backyard!
That's how I would characterize these ponds
which belong to the Stonehaven Homeowner's Assocation.
Not that they are that close to my house, but
they are right above the Morena Costco Tire Center
where I've spent many hours (waiting).
I discovered this pair of ponds in March,
6 months after starting my quest.
6 months after starting my quest.
I was searching for fresh water closer to home
than Oceanside or Mount Laguna.
There are ducks, fish and turtles in these ponds.
Now that I am a pond-locating expert,
I can attest to their beauty and excellent management.
A "stream" runs down into the lower pond,
giving the appearance that it is coming from the upper one.
It's private, but not gated.
The upper pond is 500 feet away, uphill.
And it's over 500 feet long!
It was starting to rain during our visit, so we didn't walk the entire perimeter.
but I can bring the far end a bit closer
with my telephoto lens.
We went back on a nicer day.
We found more footage of the" stream" linking the ponds.
and lots of red-eared sliders.
accustomed to people walking and jogging by them
Ponds undoubtedly originate in draining water from the hills above
a nice place to walk, no doubt.
