MESMERIZING annual resurrection of my backyard pond. TIME-LAPSE

My backyard pond and waterfall lie dormant under snow and ice throughout our harsh Canadian winters. Over many months, dry brown Gingko leaves and pine needles collect in the crevices, along with twigs, dirt, spiderwebs and various crawling creatures.

It’s now the end of May and time for my yard cleanup, and that includes bringing the pond back to its summertime glory!

Cleaning up took a back seat to creative instinct, however, when the inspiration struck me that a TIME-LAPSE of the pond revival would be awesome - immediately followed by the thought – and FOUR cameras would make it even better!

My iPhone X handled the overhead shot. My Canon 80D got the rock wall closeups. My Canon G7X captured the stuff that swirled on the surface as the water level rose. And my battle-weary GoPro Hero3, nestled comfortably at the bottom of the pond in its waterproof case, witnessed the water making its way up, up ... Blub, blub, blub.
