In this first shot I am taking this from the northwest area I expect to be somewhere close to the bank or edge.
As you can see I'm moving the hump in the middle to the dam. The pond will go all the way across. The dam extends about 30 more feet to the right than what the picture shows. It's also going to get 4+ feet higher yet as I move all that dirt.
In the second shot I am standing on the dam just under the shade in the upper right corner of the first shot. But now instead of aiming south I'm aiming east northeast.
If you click on this pic and look close on the left hand side you can see the oak and cedar tree together with nothing else around than a pile of topsoil to the left of that. If you look past those two trees you will notice the ground behind them drops way off and the pond is going to stretch farther up that valley behind them. I am thinking about making a cut around them to the left leaving them as an island in the pond. The height works out just about spot on to match up with the dam and overflow, almost as if it was planned that way. Which I promise I didn't do on purpose. They just got left because they were larger than everything around them. What do you guys think?
